Coronation Street fans have been expressing their confusion as Megan Walsh’s pregnancy appeared to be forgotten as she was arrested on suspicion of grooming Will Driscoll.
Those who follow the ITV soap have been aware for months that Megan has been carrying out a secret relationship with schoolboy Will, with the pair recently seen sleeping together as he turned 16.
Shortly after, Megan discovered she was pregnant, and Eva Price and Leanne Battersby were seen showing her support when she claimed it was boyfriend Daniel Osbourne’s and that she couldn’t keep the unborn child.
Leanne accompanied her to the abortion clinic but it was then hinted that Megan hadn’t gone through with the abortion, and she was later seen telling Will, who isn’t her only victim, as viewers were also introduced to another teen who admitted to sleeping with Megan, that the baby is his.
Now, though, Megan’s world is tumbling down around her as her relationship with Will was revealed by Sam Blakeman, who cottoned on to what was going on between the pair and tried to expose Megan for the groomer she is, only for her to catch him and bully him into staying quiet.
As viewers saw earlier this week, Sam finally admitted the truth after he was rushed to the hospital after collapsing as a result of taking ADHD medication that wasn’t prescribed to him. While Sam tried to blame school stress for taking the medication, Leanne Battersby knew something wasn’t right and in Tuesday’s (March 17) episode of Corrie, fans saw Leanne eventually get the truth out of Sam, only for them to be joined by Will’s step-mother, Eva Price, who didn’t want to believe what the teen was saying.
Later, Leanne, Eva and Toyah Battersby gathered in the Rovers Return and when Megan joined her, they grilled her on her relationship with Will and what Sam had told them. Megan cried and claimed Will had a silly crush and that Sam had gotten the wrong end of the stick, but once she had gone, Eva confirmed she “didn’t believe a flamin’ word” of what the teacher told them.
It was then on Wednesday (March 18) in Corrie that Eva had to break the news to Will’s father, Ben, before Ollie and Maggie also discovered what had been going on. Ben tried speaking to his son, and in a particularly poignant scene, the pair were seen eating sweets as they sat on the swings at the Weatherfield Pricinct, as Ben told Will they loved him, and that he wasn’t in trouble as he asked him about his relationship with Megan.
Despite Will sticking with Megan’s story that he had a crush and that she rejected his pass at her, Ben, Eva, Toyah and Leanne were seen heading to the police to report Megan, before DC Kit Green later headed to Weatherfield High to arrest Megan, much to Daniel’s disbelief.
But one question Corrie fans were left with as the scenes unfolded was over Megan’s pregnancy. @adlangford said: “I’m confused about something on #Corrie #CoronationStreet. Is Megan still pregnant or did she get an abortion? Because I was thinking she’ll try and use that baby to get the charges dropped or something.” @FairyMary56 questioned: “#corrie isn’t Megan pregnant? The dna will prove it’s Will’s if she is.”
@Fake_TV_Chef asked: “Do Eva, Toyah, and Leanne remember that Megan confided in them that she was pregnant? #Corrie.” @EileenCumi28050 posted: “Isn’t Megan pregnant or has everyone inconveniently forgotten that fact. #corrie.” @hughesjg74 added: “Isn’t she (Megan) supposed to be pregnant? Or have the producers/writers had another lapse of memory?”
