Fans think villain Megan Walsh’s grim death has been sealed on Coronation Street.
The latest episode saw her finally admit to sleeping with teenager Will Driscoll, in gross, gloat-filled commentary to his stepmother Eva Price. She didn’t say it outright, and instead gave away what had happened with a vile boast to Eva.
Eva had been trying to prove Megan was grooming and sexually abusing Will, with Will and Megan denying it. When her earlier attempt to catch Megan out saw her cautioned by police, Megan could not wait to rub it in.
Speaking with Eva alone later in the episode, she taunted Eva about what she had done to Will. Mocking Eva and the situation as she walked away, the character had no remorse while Eva watched her with a furious look on her face.

Now, fans think this could all seal Megan’s fate. Megan is one of five characters who could be killed off in the murder week, and now viewers think Eva or maybe Will’s grandmother Maggie Driscoll will take a deadly revenge.
Another theory is that Will finally realises his abuse ordeal and takes revenge on Megan. A fan posted online: “Megan finally got brave enough to admit right to Eva’s face that she was grooming him and sexually abusing him.
“Now I think Eva is even more angry that she’s rubbing it in her face now.” A fan then theorised: “Maggie kills Megan,” as another said: “That victim will be Megan.”

A further fan commented: “Maybe I’m the only one but I think it’ll be Megan who dies, and Sam’s the one who pushes her bc he’s been hallucinating and he’s not himself.” Another fan said: “My current theory is that it’s Megan who is pushed and dies.
“However – I think there’s a plot twist: Maggie won’t be the one to push her. Maybe Eva for revenge OR Will himself when he learns Megan lied about the baby? And Maggie covers for him (like with Daniel).” This was echoed by another fan who said: “The spoilers ‘Maggie and Megan have a showdown’ plus the pictures, make it seem like it’s one of them.”
A final suggestion read: “I can’t see them killing Maggie off. I think it will be Megan that dies and I Will, will be the one to do it, when he finds out she still pregnant.” All will be revealed next week when the murder is revealed, but the killer remains under wraps.
