It’s Maggie’s birthday, but don’t expect balloons and cake. A special flashback episode takes us straight into the Rovers where family tensions are fizzing faster than a freshly pulled pint.

We’re whisked back through Maggie’s past, peeling away the layers to reveal exactly how she grew into the formidable mother‑in‑law from hell. And let’s be honest, she wears that crown with pride.

Eva, meanwhile, hasn’t bothered to hide her dislike for Maggie and the feeling is very much mutual. With sparks flying between them, Eva might want to keep her wits about her, because Maggie’s not the type to let a grudge slide.

As the truth about Maggie’s nature comes into sharper focus, just how far will she go when the gloves come off?

Convinced something’s off, Kit later tells Carla he suspects Costello and Becky are working together. Carla, deflated, pours herself a stiff drink, reminding him they’ve got no solid proof.

Meanwhile, Kit slyly tells Becky that Carla’s holed up in the factory with a bottle of scotch, urging her to let Lisa know. Becky promises she will  but instead heads straight to Carla’s office, shutting the door behind her as Carla reaches for another glass.

Back at the station, Costello’s wife collects his belongings and shows Kit a photo of the Coniston house they’d bought. Kit jots down the name, Ravensgill. He later discovers it was purchased by a company formed just a week after Becky’s supposed death. He quickly leaves Carla a message with the bombshell.

Carla then turns up at No.6, pouring her heart out to Lisa, confessing she should never have left and that she’s always loved her. Lisa admits she feels the same but insists it’s too late, their relationship is over. Carla is left shattered.
