CORRIE MURDER SHOCK: Ken Barlow Targeted as New Rovers Landlady Maggie Driscoll Exposed as Secret Killer

A Deadly Presence Moves Onto the Cobbles

Coronation Street fans are bracing for a chilling twist as newcomer Maggie Driscoll is exposed as the cobbles’ newest killer. The Rovers Return has welcomed many complicated characters over the decades, but few have arrived with a secret as dangerous as Maggie’s. Her sweet, polite exterior may hide a history of murder, and one Weatherfield legend could soon be in her sights.

The unsettling theory began when Maggie visited Ken Barlow’s home. Amy Barlow suggested that Maggie borrow Ken’s punch bowl for a Rovers party and asked her to check his sideboard. Maggie opened a cupboard, froze, and stared at something inside. Her expression changed, and she quickly shut the door. She said nothing, but her shock did not go unnoticed.A woman with brown hair in a bun wears a colorful floral shirt.

A Flashback Episode Will Reveal the Truth

According to insiders, Coronation Street will air a special flashback episode revealing that Maggie killed a major character before she ever stepped foot in the Rovers. Her family knows nothing. Even her son Ben Driscoll and daughter-in-law Eva Price remain unaware that a killer lives under their roof. Maggie’s grandkids are also at risk, completely unaware of the danger she brings to their new home.

A Corrie source says the truth will “send shockwaves through Weatherfield” and change life on the street forever. The truth will erupt shortly before Christmas, promising one of the most intense festive storylines in years.Coronation Street's Ken Barlow in danger as cobbles' newest killer revealed
