Maggie Cooke (née Preston, previously Clegg) was a fictional character in the British soap opera Coronation Street. Played by Irene Sutcliffe, she ran the Corner Shop from 1968 to 1974, then 1974 to 1975. Maggie's storylines included her life with alcoholic husband, Les Clegg whom she divorced in 1969, a son Gordon who wasn't really hers (he was her sister, Betty Turpin's love child) and a further marriage to reformed alcoholic, Ron Cooke on July 10, 1974. She emigrated to Zaire after the wedding but made a brief return to the street in December of the same year when Gordon found out that Betty was his mother. She rejoined her husband the following month and has not returned to the street since.
