Newest Update!! Coronation Street legends vow to bring groomer Megan Walsh down after Sam Blakeman confession
The walls are closing in on child groomer Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) in Coronation Street. Engaging in a secret relationship with student Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) for months,
she’s now expecting his baby and is blackmailing Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) to prevent him from spilling what he knows. He’s desperately tried to find evidence that would support his claim –
even planting a hidden camera in her flat – but each time has been knocked back as vicious Megan discovered his plans. She’s threatened him on a number of occasions, and as a result,
he’s become hooked on ADHD medication to manage his stress levels. Earlier this week, he collapsed in the street after overdosing and was rushed to hospital. Former stepmother Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) could see that it was more than jut the weight of GCSE exams that were taking its toll on the teenager, and made it her mission to find out the truth.
Megan was becoming increasingly fearful of him speaking up, and paid a visit to the ward to remind him that if he did, she’d accuse him of voyeurism.
Little did she realise, Leanne was watching on through the window and could see the fear in Sam’s eyes.
In today’s episode, now that he was more alert and recovering from his overdose, Leanne sat down for a difficult conversation and implored him to be honest with her. Just as he began to speak up, Will’s stepmum Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) walked in, and he began to hesitate.
Fortunately, Eva’s arrival didn’t prevent him from revealing everything. He said that Will wasn’t the only victim, and that another of her pupils had openly bragged about being in a relationship with her.
Eva was reluctant to believe what Sam was saying. She’d welcomed Megan into her own home, spent Christmas Day with her, and had introduced her to Leanne when she was looking for a flatmate.
Although she believed that there was more to the story, and that Sam had simply misunderstood her platonic relationship with Will, Eva was still keen to sit down with Megan and hear her side. With Leanne and Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor), the trio prepared for a very awkward conversation.
