Coronation Street star Beth Nixon has hinted that her character Megan Walsh is 'done for' as a major villain exit looms on the ITV soap. The actress, who plays child groomer Megan, teased that the game is up for both her character and another villain, Theo, as five antagonists face the chop this week, with one being killed off in Friday's episode.
Megan and Theo's fate sealed
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Beth Nixon confessed she does not fancy her survival chances. She said: "Megan and Theo are up there as the worst villains. The others can be redeemed but me and Theo are done for aren't we..." This suggests that an exit is on the way for both characters, with the possibility of one or both meeting a deadly end.
No redemption for Megan
Beth explained that her character had to go as there was no way she could be redeemed at this point. She is keen for fans to see justice served but admitted she would love a brutal demise for Megan. "I'd love it if Megan died a dramatic death. She would proper milk it as well wouldn't she. But I think the best course of justice for her and what she's done is to be punished," she said.
Beth also laughed off a scene where Megan is attacked and seen with a bloody nose, saying: "She's like, look what they've done to me. I'm the victim, call the police now. She's covered in blood. The way it cuts to her, I was having a giggle. Just wipe your face love!"
Shock death ahead
Beth thinks fans will be shocked by the death when it airs. "I think the audience are gonna love it. I think they'll jump up at the TV and scream. I'd love to see it on Gogglebox," she added.
With time running out for Megan, Beth has loved playing the character because of how fearless she is. "She doesn't care. It's so fun to play. Me in real life I'm like, 'oh sorry' and Megan's just like, 'get out the way.' She's so far from who I am it's so much fun," she explained.
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITV X.
