So Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) survived the Grim Reaper’s big, swinging scythe in Coronation Street’s murder week, but according to Corrie boss, Kate Brooks, that doesn’t mean she’ll get away with her heinous crimes.

Megan’s grooming and sexual abuse of Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) has been going on for a long while, with her utilising her position as his teacher and sports coach to keep it under wraps, which she’s done to conceal affairs with previous students.

When the perfectly precocious Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) discovered what was going on, Megan launched a campaign of psychological torture against him so brutal that the youngster turned to drugs as she attempted to destroy his much-prized academic record.

Though Sam eventually told all about Megan’s abuse, leading to Will’s family learning of her true nature, she’s managed to remain at arm’s length of the law.

With a deeply brainwashed Will refusing to admit the truth to the police, and Megan terminating her pregnancy, the only piece of physical evidence that would prove her guilt was lost.

Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley), Leanne and Toyah Battersby’s (Jane Danson and Georgia Taylor) vigilante missions to force a confession all failed and Megan even managed to turned the tide against the equally manipulative Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn). It’s seemed, at times, that she’s truly untouchable. But will it remain that way? Apparently not!

‘Megan and Will, there’s a bit of a journey to go on with that story. So obviously she’s been exposed, but Will at this point, he believed it was love. He believed it was all genuine,’ Kate said.

‘Scales fall from his eyes and Tim Metcalfe’s (Joe Duttine) going to be so instrumental in kind of making him realise what’s gone on and how unacceptable and how wrong it was.

‘Obviously, there are soap Gods, and as in soap God’s law, there’ll be some kind of retribution for Megan. She cannot get off of this scot-free. We will go down the proper channels. Whether it goes on to plan or not, I cannot say, but it goes down quite a very big path.’

So that’s it then, Megan will pay for what she’s done. Surely that can’t fix the carnage she’s left in her wake though, right?

‘It’s showcasing that, Megan’s actions have not just directly impacted Will and the Driscolls, Sam’s also collateral damage. People’s trust has been absolutely dismantled because of this woman’s perpetual lie,’ Kate said about the lingering effects of Megan’s reign of terror.

Speaking on the future of the Driscoll clan, Kate said: ‘It’s about the family falling apart, but then kind of building themselves back up again as they try desperately to kind of repair the damage that Megan’s done. Will will be quite badly affected by what he’s been through with Megan. It does go a bit dark.’

As for Sam?

‘Getting him across the Megan story and having him be another victim of her manipulation felt like a really interesting way of telling the story. But as a result of that, his mental health has been really, really damaged by everything that’s happened – by the manipulation, by the fact that he wasn’t believed, by the fear that he felt every time he was with Megan.’
