Does Maggie have another child?

Maggie Driscoll has a few secrets under her belt in Coronation Street, but could one involve a secret son?

Viewers have already met one of Maggie’s sons – Ben Driscoll. And, we know she has another son called Finlay who was seen in her flashback episode.

But, could Maggie have another son who we’re already very familiar with? And, is she back to avenge his death?

Maggie Driscoll’s flashback in Coronation Street

At the start of this week, Maggie Driscoll celebrated her 65th birthday in the pub by throwing a huge party.

She had fun marking the occasion with son Ben and the rest of the family, but the event was also tinged with sadness as one family member notably wasn’t there. Maggie’s husband Alan who had passed away when Ben was only eleven.

A flashback then took Maggie back to a previous birthday decades ago where she and Alan could be seen rowing over everything and anything. Their constant bickering often upset Maggie’s two boys – Ben and Finlay.

During one heated moment on the stairs, Alan brought up Maggie’s affair with someone which led Maggie to order him out of their lives.

She never deemed him good enough for her kids.

With a shove from Maggie, Alan tumbled down the stairs and died as a result of the row. And, Maggie has kept this truth a secret ever since.

Coronation Street fan theory predicts Maggie is Charlie Stubbs’ mother

While viewers are only aware of Ben and Finlay being Maggie’s sons, a recent ‘clue’ has prompted a new fan theory.

With Maggie looking through the Barlows’ cupboard for a punch bowl, she looked really horrified by something she’d seen. And now, a new theory reckons she saw a picture of Tracy and is ready to get revenge. Why? Because Maggie could be the secret mum of the late Charlie Stubbs (yes, the Charlie who Tracy Barlow famously killed).

One fan commented online: “I think Maggie’s other son was Charlie that Tracy killed, and that’s why she looked like she saw a ghost in Ken’s house.” Another person replied: “Oooo this would be messy!!”

Another added: “Yesss that would be insane!! She defo looked super scared when she saw something in Ken’s house.”

Is Maggie about to get revenge on Tracy for Charlie’s death? And, is he her son?
