Coronation Street\u2019s Maggie Driscoll and Brian Packham are the talk of the town next week, as the news of their one-night stand spreads around the factory!<\/p>\n

However, it appears that word travels fast in Weatherfield. In the pub next week, Kirk Sutherland gleefully reveals that Brian and Maggie\u2019s casual hook-up is the talk of Underworld\u2026<\/p>\n

“Maggie and Brian should’ve known to be more discreet,” teases our Coronation Street insider. “Scandal is what keeps the folk of Weatherfield going, and a whisper between sewing machines can spread like wildfire \u2013 as Kirk soon reveals.<\/p>\n

“The humiliation of having everyone know about their private rendezvous could kill any chance of a potential romance for Maggie and Brian!”<\/p>\n

Given that Brian overheard Maggie coldly condemning their night between the sheets as disappointing, there could already be friction between the two of them \u2013 and being at the centre of the local gossip mill will surely only make things worse.<\/p>\n

With everyone eagerly chatting about Maggie and Brian’s unexpected union, will the hot gossip stoke the fires of their passion? Or will it extinguish the sparks for good?<\/p>\n

Peter Gunn, who plays Brian, previously told us that he’s backing the idea of a future for this unlikely duo\u2026<\/p>\n

“Brian and Maggie would be a great pairing,” he said. “I think they could have a future together, because they’re an interesting fit. There’s mileage to be had, but who knows?”<\/p>\n

The actor even discussed the possibility of Brian ending up in the Rovers<\/a> as a result of his new connection to Maggie.<\/p>\n

“Don\u2019t be dangling that carrot in front of me \u2013 that\u2019s too much!” he laughed. “I can pull a pint, that\u2019s all I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n

“The Rovers is the top of the tree, everything revolves around it. As an actor I couldn\u2019t quite imagine myself there \u2013 that\u2019d be scary! It\u2019s legendary. My first scene in the Rovers I had to sing a duet with Julie, and I was so nervous!”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street<\/strong> airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on <\/strong>ITVX<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
