Maggie was the wife of deceased drug dealer John who sought revenge on Spider Nugent for his involvement in John's death.

In July 2023, Maggie posed as a journalist and approached Lauren Bolton in order to gather information about Spider. Under the impression that Maggie was interested in writing about Griff Reynolds' extremist gang and could potentially help release her father, Lauren went into detail about Spider and from this Maggie was made aware that his partner Toyah Habeeb lived at the Victoria Court flats. Maggie paid Toyah a visit masquerading as Spider's ex-wife Layla but Toyah was warned by Spider over the phone that the woman was an imposter as his ex was out of the country. Maggie attacked Toyah and bundled her into the back of a van where she took her hostage with a gun.

The police were contacted when Spider and Toyah's sister Leanne Battersby realised that she had been abducted, but Maggie contacted Spider with her location warning him that she would kill Toyah if he did not come alone. Spider donned a bulletproof vest and met up with Maggie where he offered himself to die in Toyah's place as Maggie wielded a gun at the pair. Maggie revealed to Toyah that Spider had befriended her and John while he went undercover infiltrating a drugs gang. He persuaded John to testify against the others and as a result John was murdered while on bail. Now Maggie intended to murder Toyah so that Spider would feel the same loss she had. However, Spider wrestled with Maggie for the gun and was shot instead. Toyah begged Maggie to let her get Spider some help but she refused and planned to kill Toyah, although Spider managed to get the upper hand as his bulletproof vest had protected him. Spider shot Maggie before calling for backup, she was treated and taken into custody.

As a result of Maggie's actions Spider and Toyah split up when she gave him the ultimatum of choosing his job or her.
