Coronation Street Unleashes a New Mystery Tonight as the Driscoll Son Vanishes
Coronation Street delivers a chilling new twist tonight as the Driscoll family’s story takes a darker turn. No-nonsense newcomer Maggie Driscoll makes her presence felt when her grandson Will mysteriously vanishes — and she wastes no time pointing the finger at Eva Price.
A Family on Edge
The Driscolls are fast becoming one of Weatherfield’s most explosive new families. Viewers have already seen tensions rise between Maggie, her son Ben Driscoll, and his partner Eva Price — but things take an even more dramatic turn in tonight’s episode.
While actor Lucas Hodgson-Wale is yet to make his debut as Ben’s youngest son, Will, the family is thrown into panic when he suddenly goes missing on the day he’s supposed to arrive in Weatherfield.
A Missing Son and a Family Divided
Eldest brother Ollie is sent to pick Will up from the train station, but he returns shaken — Will never got off the train, and his phone goes straight to voicemail.
As Ben and Eva panic, Maggie’s fury ignites. She reminds everyone that Will was unhappy about leaving Hull, hinting he may have run away. But her suspicion quickly shifts toward Eva, blaming her for the family’s chaotic move to Weatherfield.
While Ben decides to rush to Hull in search of his son, the rest of the family goes through Will’s things — and what they find only deepens the mystery.
The Note That Changes Everything
Inside Will’s belongings, the Driscolls discover a handwritten note that reads:
“Thanks for last night. You understand me so well.”
Signed with two kisses, the message implies Will may have been secretly seeing someone before his disappearance. But who is the mystery girl — and what does she know about where he’s gone?
The clue sends the family reeling, and Maggie’s anger boils over. Turning on Eva, she hisses:
“If anything’s happened to that boy, you’ll regret the day you came here — and I’ll make sure of it.”
Maggie vs. Eva: A Brewing Rivalry
The tension between Maggie and Eva is set to explode in the coming weeks. Actress Catherine Tyldesley, who recently returned as Eva, revealed that her character’s relationship with Maggie will only grow darker.
“Early doors, Eva isn’t scared of Maggie — she’s more irritated by her,” Catherine explained.
“But as time goes on, she starts to see another side to her and realizes she might be dangerous. That’s when the fear kicks in.”
With Will’s disappearance now casting a shadow over the Driscoll family, Eva could soon find herself caught in a storm of suspicion, blame, and intimidation.
What Happens Next?
Tonight’s episode marks the start of a new Coronation Street mystery that promises secrets, lies, and explosive confrontations. Will Ben find Will safe in Hull? Or is this disappearance just the beginning of something much darker?
