SHOCKING NEWS!!! Coronation Street confirms shock accusation after Megan and Maggie showdown

Coronation Street‘s Maggie Driscoll is accused of assaulting Megan Walsh next week, after the PE teacher reports her to the police for the crime. But was Maggie really angry enough to attack a pregnant woman?

With Ben Driscoll backing off from his son Will in the hope that he has enough sense to stay away from Megan, fearsome Maggie decides to take matters into her own hands.

She pays Megan a visit at her new flat – but little does she know, Will is already there. As Maggie warns Megan off her grandson, their confrontation escalates…

“Maggie is a woman of action – she feels the law moves at a very slow pace, and has rules that she does not have to play by,” begins Pauline McLynn, who plays Maggie.

“We’ll see a splendidly devious side of Maggie. No one knows exactly where Megan has gone to hide, and Maggie finds out in a very underhanded way, like a mini dark web for herself.

“She goes to confront her because nothing else is working. By accident or otherwise, as is the way of Maggie’s life, there is a physical fight. She’s not above getting her hands dirty.”

It’s not long before Lisa Swain arrives at the pub to deliver the shocking news that Megan has filed a police report against Maggie for assault – which Maggie outright denies.

“Maggie dismisses it as nonsense – a waste of everyone’s time to be complaining about this,” reveals Pauline. “A little bit of rough and tumble – things escalated a little, let’s get on with it.

“Denying it hasn’t worked, so she then goes, ‘Look, it could have happened to anyone! She escalated it, not me!’ She’s not a woman who backs down easily.”

Once Lisa has sternly grilled her, Maggie then makes the risky choice to pay Megan another visit to have it out with her nemesis once and for all.

“People would be disappointed if we didn’t see her having another go, having not had any satisfaction from the first go of running the woman out of town!” laughs Pauline.

“She’ll just keep going until it happens – that’s if Megan doesn’t disappear first…”

Will Maggie go to prison for assaulting the twisted teacher?
