Coronation Street viewers are once again proving that nothing slips past the Weatherfield faithful. Following a disturbing and emotionally loaded revelation

in recent episodes, fans are now convinced they’ve uncovered a shocking twist in the ongoing Megan Walsh storyline — and it could change everything.

Despite Megan’s insistence that teenage Will Driscoll is the father of her unborn child, many viewers believe the truth is far more sinister, and that Will may not be Megan’s first victim at all.

The controversy erupted after sports coach Megan Walsh, played by Beth Nixon, dropped a bombshell that sent shockwaves through the cobbles. In an early January episode, Megan finally confessed the truth about her pregnancy to Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale), the teenager she has been secretly grooming and manipulating. The moment was framed as deeply emotional, but for many viewers, it only raised more questions than answers.

Megan, who has been publicly presenting herself as the girlfriend of Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), has spent weeks visibly torn over her future since discovering she was pregnant. On the surface, her turmoil appeared rooted in fear — fear that the pregnancy could expose her predatory behaviour and destroy the carefully constructed double life she has been leading. But beneath that fear lay something far more complex: Megan’s belief that this pregnancy might be her only chance at motherhood.

Recent episodes showed the tension escalating dramatically. Will became increasingly worried after Megan suffered a dizzy spell on school grounds. His concern was immediate and heartfelt, underscoring just how emotionally dependent he has become on her. Yet Megan shut him down coldly, aware that his visible distress could draw unwanted attention from teachers and students alike. The moment highlighted the imbalance of power at the heart of their relationship — and just how calculated Megan’s behaviour has become.

Will’s anxiety only deepened later at the Rovers Return, when he attempted to question Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) and Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) about Megan’s apparent illness. Their refusal to explain anything left Will spiralling, convinced that Megan was hiding something far worse than she was admitting. When he confronted Megan directly and suggested she might be seriously ill, she realised she could no longer deflect the truth.

“I’m not dying,” Megan told him bluntly. “I’m going to have a baby. Your baby.”

The revelation landed with devastating force. Megan went on to insist that Will was the father, admitting she had been “this close” to having a termination the day before. She framed the pregnancy as proof of their bond, claiming that “nobody is going to understand” but that this child could be her “only chance,” insisting she was pregnant “against all odds.”

Yet despite Megan’s certainty, Coronation Street viewers were far from convinced. Almost immediately, social media lit up with speculation, with fans questioning not only the baby’s paternity, but Megan’s entire narrative.

One viewer wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I don’t think the baby’s Daniel’s or Will’s. I think it’s another schoolboy’s. I don’t believe that Will’s Megan’s first victim.” The comment struck a chord, tapping into a growing sense of unease among the audience.

Another fan echoed the sentiment, posting: “I’m convinced she’s pregnant by another young lad, not Daniel nor Will — and I don’t think Will’s her first victim.” A third viewer went even further, suggesting Megan’s past may already be catching up with her: “Megan is up to something. She left Hull. Is she running away from someone?”

These theories have gained traction as more details from Megan’s past begin to surface. The mention of Hull — where Megan previously lived — has become a focal point for suspicion. Fans are increasingly convinced that Megan’s grooming behaviour didn’t begin in Weatherfield, and that Will may simply be the latest in a pattern of manipulation she has managed to keep hidden… until now.

Upcoming episodes are set to add fuel to the fire. Spoilers reveal that Will becomes increasingly distressed by Megan’s public relationship with Daniel Osbourne and begs her to end things with him. Watching Megan play the role of devoted girlfriend while privately binding Will to her through pregnancy proves too much for the teenager to bear. Megan promises she will “do whatever she can,” but viewers are already questioning whether her words are sincere — or just another layer of control.

The mystery deepens during an athletics meet, when another runner, Lee (played by Oscar Aldersley), approaches Will. Lee reminds him that they used to compete against each other in Hull — a detail that immediately set alarm bells ringing for fans. When Will becomes distracted, Lee unexpectedly calls out to Megan, a moment loaded with unspoken history.

What does Lee know? And more importantly, what role did Megan play in his past?

Following the race, Will brings Lee back to the pub, only for Megan to ask Lee to meet her privately in the ginnel. The secrecy of the encounter has left viewers convinced that this is no coincidence. Is Lee confronting Megan about something she desperately wants buried? Or is he, as many fans now suspect, the real father of her baby?

The implications are chilling. If the baby is not Will’s, it raises disturbing questions about how many young people Megan may have manipulated before arriving in Weatherfield — and how long she has been getting away with it. It would also explain her intense desperation to control the narrative, using pregnancy as both a shield and a weapon.

For Will, the truth — whatever it may be — threatens to shatter his already fragile world. Already isolated and emotionally overwhelmed, he is clinging to Megan’s version of events as a way to make sense of his feelings. If that version collapses, the fallout could be devastating.

As Coronation Street continues to peel back the layers of this dark storyline, one thing is clear: Megan Walsh is not telling the whole truth. Whether the baby’s father is Will, Lee, or someone else entirely, the consequences of her actions are closing in fast.

With viewers scrutinising every glance, every line of dialogue, and every hint from Megan’s past, the question now isn’t just who got Megan pregnant — it’s how much damage will be done before the truth finally comes out. And when it does, Weatherfield may never be the same again.
