Coronation Street's Megan Walsh, the predatory teacher who groomed underage Will Driscoll, has been exposed. Actress Beth Nixon, who plays Megan, has confirmed that the character will face justice, though the exact fate remains unclear. Megan is now a pariah on the street, with the Driscolls and Barlows seeking retribution.
Despite Megan's attempts to play the victim, claiming a schoolboy crush gone wrong, no one believes her. The storyline has focused on Will's experience, with little exploration of Megan's motives. Nixon notes that Megan is 'unredeemable' and that the lack of justification for her actions makes the character compelling to play.
Megan is one of five potential victims in the upcoming murder whodunnit storyline. Nixon expressed her enjoyment of playing such a 'horrible' character, noting the freedom to explore her layers. She added that Megan believes she can talk her way out of anything, using manipulation and victimhood to evade consequences.
Although Megan's crimes have been revealed, the police have been unable to charge her due to a lack of evidence, aside from the baby she was carrying. The baby's father was Will, not Daniel Osbourne as she claimed. Megan secretly terminated the pregnancy after an attack by Will's grandmother, Maggie Driscoll, and pretended to have lost the baby.
