Coronation Street legend catches Megan flirting with Will and the game may be up

Megan Walsh standing in the Barlow household in Coronation Street.

Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) thinks she’s God’s gift in Coronation Street, and because of that, it’s made her a woman who doesn’t believe anyone will suspect she’s got something to hide.

The newcomer, introduced to us towards the end of last year, currently works at Weatherfield High. She’s in a relationship with colleague Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), and lets everyone believe she’s spending extra time with Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) so he can reach his full potential as a young athlete.

In reality, Megan is only with Daniel to cover up her abuse of teenager Will. She has been grooming him for months and is now carrying his baby.

The only person on the cobbles who has worked out that Megan isn’t as nice as she says is Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan). After reaching the conclusion that Megan had lied about a tracksuit top she had among her belongings, Sam suspected the teacher was having an inappropriate relationship with Will.

Proving this has been extremely difficult for Sam, as Megan has tried to be a step ahead of him at all times. This, and she’s also targeting Sam with manipulation and threats, which is now having a serious impact on his mental health.

Next week, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) picks the wrong person to open up to as she tells Megan that she’s concerned for Sam and thinks something is bothering him.

Megan assures her that she’s worrying over nothing and later, assuming that she’s alone, Megan takes a call and flirts with Will.

When Leanne emerges from the bathroom, Megan is horrified.

The next day, Sam appears at the flat for his school books and Megan takes the opportunity to have another dig at him.

Meanwhile, Leanne shares her concerns about Sam with Daniel, and apologises for interrupting his call with Megan the night before.

Leanne’s curiosity starts to grow when Megan ends up cancelling her date with Daniel. It’s clear that she’s picking up on Sam and Megan’s changes in behaviour, but will she make the connection and realise Megan is the reason Sam is becoming withdrawn?
