Coronation Street confirms another teen sex abuse victim of Megan’s
Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) was alarmed in tonight’s Coronation Street, as a student revealed some information about sports coach Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon).
A few days ago, Will learnt that Megan is pregnant with his baby. The youngster believes he’s in a relationship with her, unaware she’s actually abusing and grooming him.
As a result of this pregnancy, Will told Megan that she needs to dump Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).
Megan started dating Daniel as a way to distract from what’s going on with Will. In the Bistro, she tried to tell him about ending the relationship, but got distracted when Daniel started mentioning Will.
Daniel believed that as a result of Will constantly speaking to Megan at school, and vandalising his Dad’s car a couple of days ago, he needed reporting to Crawshaw.
Megan panicked, knowing the possibility of Will revealing their secret would increase if he spoke to Crawshaw.
She told Daniel that didn’t need to happen and, in an attempt to make him forget about Will, said that she’s starting to fall for him.
In tonight’s episode, we were introduced to another student called Lee. He was in town ahead of an athletics meet up, that Will was also attending.
Afterwards, Lee was in the pub with Will when Megan wandered by. He tried to talk to her, but Megan was cold and told him to meet in the ginnel instead.
There, Lee spoke to Megan about the relationship they had in the past. He was keen to continue seeing her, but Megan said that she’s with someone else now and didn’t want to. She stepped closer to Lee and said what they had was special, but he shouldn’t contact her anymore.
Just before the episode ended, Lee told Will about having a relationship with Megan a year ago. He said they had sex and believed they had something special, but can now see that she was using him.
Will was very quick to defend Megan, saying an accusation like that could land her in prison. What the teens didn’t realise was that their conversation was being overheard by Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan), who was in the kebab shop with Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson).
Sam stepped outside and looked concerned.
His worry grows in future episodes, as Leanne shows Megan a boy’s tracksuit top she found in the flat. Megan claims it is Daniel’s. But Sam’s clearly not convinced…
On the street, Sam corners Will with the energy of a Faithful at a Traitors round table and asks him if there’s something going on between him and Miss Walsh. Lying, Will makes out it’s a ridiculous notion and heads off…. Then Sam spots the tracksuit top in Will’s sports bag. Does he have the evidence he needs?
In the Rovers, a rattled Will warns Megan how Sam suspects them of having an affair. Alarmed, Megan finds Sam doing his homework in Speed Daal. Will she tackle him?
