The Driscolls reel as Will sticks up for abuser Megan in Coronation Street | Soaps

Life for the Driscolls won’t ever be the same again once they learn Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) has been sexually abusing Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) in Coronation Street.

The storyline began towards the end of last year, when Megan was introduced as a sports coach busy helping young athlete Will reach his full potential.

As Megan was welcomed into the Driscoll clan, they remained unaware that her role as coach was just a hideous cover up. Whenever the family thought Megan was training Will, she was actually busy letting the teen believe they were in a relationship.

Megan was faced with a problem a few weeks ago when it became apparent youngster Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) knew something inappropriate was going on. To keep him quiet, Megan has targeted Sam by completely destroying his self esteem.

It’s Sam’s poor mental health that has really pushed Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) to find some answers. After he collapsed, Sam was rushed to hospital, but struggled to open up to Leanne.

Her suspicions started to grow though when she caught Megan in Sam’s hospital room.

When the Driscolls eventually discover the truth about Megan, they also have to deal with the fact she is pregnant with Will’s baby. In upcoming episodes, Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) calls the family together to discuss her pregnancy and how Megan is currently refusing to take a DNA test.

When Will leaps to Megan’s defence, frustrated Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) cannot help but lose her rag.

In the week, Ben persuades Will to attend some counselling in the hope he might open up about Megan. A while later, Ben’s given more bad news when Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) points out that the contents of Will and Megan’s phones suggests nothing illegal has been going on.

How will the family navigate this if Will is in denial about what happened, and they cannot find any other proof right now? And when the news finally breaks that Will is the father of her unborn child, how will they cope?
