Of course, this soon caused major tensions between Eva and Maggie as Eva’s attempts to bar Maria failed miserably. Ben tried to reassure Eva that she just had to put up with a few more hours of Maggie being the centre of attention and then it would all be over. But, this was a difficult task. Especially as Maggie was digging for dirt on Eva and Adam’s past relationship. Eek. Maggie’s birthday was one to remember (Credit: ITV) Maggie’s murderous secret revealed In flashback scenes, Maggie was taken back to her birthday decades ago. This also happened to coincide with the death of Ben’s dad – Alan. Viewers were introduced to a much younger Maggie, along with her lads Ben and Finlay. And, of course, husband Alan. Alan and Maggie’s relationship was rather toxic, with Maggie never believing that Alan was good enough for both herself and her boys. She even branded him a ‘cheap skate’ because he didn’t earn lots and had to be careful with money. The pair would often argue, with things turning physical as tensions escalated, even in front of their children. When Ben was eleven, another heated row ended in tragedy as Maggie and Alan started arguing on the stairs. Maggie then told Alan to leave her and the kids before pushing him. Oomph. Alan then tumbled down the stairs and presumably died as he lay lifeless on the floor, with Maggie in shock at what she’d just done… But, with one of the boys witnessing the incident, will Maggie’s secret threaten to come out?
