Key Points
  • Sam Blakeman exposed teacher Megan Walsh as a predator and collapsed, confessing her abuse of Will Driscoll in hospital.
  • Megan moved away after being kicked out, but Will secretly visits her and seeks revenge against Sam.
  • Sam's mental health declined due to unprescribed Ritalin, leading to hallucinations and an intimidation campaign, with fans worried about a potential schizophrenia diagnosis.

Sam Blakeman hid a secret camera in Megan's flat to catch her out, according to multiple reports. After his collapse, Sam was rushed to hospital, where he confessed that Megan had been abusing Will, sources said. Sam's family and the Driscolls believed his confession about Megan abusing Will, multiple reports indicate.

In the aftermath, Megan had no evidence left against her except her pregnancy, and she moved into a new flat away from Coronation Street after Leanne kicked her out, the reports state. Will Driscoll secretly visits Megan in her new flat despite being banned by his family, and he blames Sam for coming between him and Megan and is out for revenge, according to multiple sources. Sam has been the target of an intimidation campaign, but Will denied all knowledge of the intimidation campaign and insisted Sam was making it up, reports say.

Right, so Will's telling the truth, so that means that Sam's making it up? Oh, right, come on. Let's go. Eva, come on, you know he's not the kind of kid to do that!

Sam resorted to unprescribed Ritalin to improve his focus, leading to a decline in his mental health, and he suffers from hallucinations or visions of Will and Megan, with one instance where he saw Will chase him through the street, but when Nick showed up, nobody was there, according to multiple reports. Coronation Street fans are worried Sam could be diagnosed with schizophrenia or a long-term mental health condition, Aftonbladet reports. Leanne Battersby will launch an investigation to uncover the truth about Megan's abuse of Will and bullying of Sam, and Megan Walsh will be exposed as a predator in upcoming Coronation Street episodes, multiple reports indicate.

A flash-forward scene last month depicted tragedy on Carla Connor and Lisa Swain's wedding day in April, with Betsy questioned over a dead body, and possible deceased characters in the flash-forward include Megan, Maggie, Jodie Ramsey, Carl Webster, and Theo Silverton, sources said.
