Coronation Street spoilers follow for Tuesday’s (April 21) episode, which is now available to stream on ITVX.
Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) is truly rotten, isn’t she?
A depraved paedophile and predator who preys on young boys, grooming them into thinking that a relationship between an underage child and an adult is ‘true love’, all the while targeting anybody who she perceives as a threat to her carrying out her sickening activities unfettered.
She launched a campaign of outright psychological torture against Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) when he discovered her abuse of Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale), displaying her uncanny ability of zeroing in on a persons weakness and exploiting it for all it’s worth.
For once, though, Megan was outmatched, and despite turning to drugs and wracked with anxiety amid her threats to utterly annihilate his life, Sam summoned the courage to tell his step mum, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) what was happening.
With her secret blown, Megan was forced to change tack, outright unwilling to lose the battle, and with her having Will firmly under her thrall and unwilling to admit to anything, the Driscoll’s have been torn apart as the lack of evidence has meant that the CPS are refusing to charge Megan.

Discussing Megan’s approach to life, Beth said: ‘She is the most important person in her life, and she’ll step over anyone to come out on top.
‘Her cleverness is her downfall, but so is her self-righteousness. She thinks she’s God’s gift and that she can get away with anything.’
Does she feel any guilt for her heinous actions?
‘She feels guilt, but her own life and her own desires are more important than anything else,’ Beth said.
‘She’s a narcissist. She feels sadness and empathy, but she snaps herself out of it because guilt would hold her back from getting what she wants. Her needs always come first.’
With nothing pending against her from a legal standpoint, Megan plotted her escape to Paris, while Will’s brother, Ollie (Raphael Akuwudike) railed at dad, Ben (Aaron McCusker) over his failure to protect Will from a sexual predator.

Driscoll matriarch, Maggie (Pauline McLynn), eager to ensure that Ben wasn’t pushed into making a potentially disastrous decision, enlisted Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) to confront Megan and force a confession from her. Ben found her pounding at Megan’s door, before they both broke down at the carnage the evil teacher had inflicted on their family.
With Eva convinced that Megan has done a Houdini and vanished, she’s more desperate than ever to find evidence that could nail her for good. Against Toyah Battersby’s (Georgia Taylor) advice, Eva agreed with sister Leanne, she needed to search Will’s room…

…and she did, unfortunately coming up empty handed. She was almost busted, though, as Toyah’s one job of stalling Will was an utter bust. Luckily, he seemingly bought their jumbled story about a vegan, chick-pea, falafel curry, tossing his coat aside and stalking up to his room.

Though Eva moved to reprimand him for his sloppy placement of the coat, Leanne hushed her and embraced her inner young-Battersby, regaling tales of her own youth, in which she’d hide cigarettes, bottles of WKD and Toyah’s chewing gum in the lining of her jacket to evade detection.
Her theory rang true when she found a phone hidden in the coat lining, a phone that Eva confirmed she’d never seen before. Tapping away, she discovered no messages, but found one, lone contact: Megan. With Leanne’s encouragement, she text the number and proposed a meeting, with Megan replying ‘see you tomorrow’.
Has Eva finally got everything she needs to expose Megan to the police and ensure she’s sent down? Potentially…but how will she manage the situation?
