Coronation Street spoilers follow, while this article discusses subject matter such as grooming.
Eva Price will confront Megan Walsh on Coronation Street next week, and she will have some support in the shape of Leanne and Toyah Battersby after they find damning evidence against the villain.
The fierce trio take matters into their own hands when it seems that Megan may never be punished for grooming Will Driscoll, who Eva is raising with Ben. But are they making a big mistake by going after the manipulative Megan?

“When the justice system fails, Eva decides to take the detective work into her own hands and find out the truth about Will’s relationship with his teacher,” our Corrie source begins.
“Unfortunately, she and Megan come to blows, which could have serious consequences – after all, the murder mystery is getting closer…”
When the Driscolls receive the news that the CPS case against Megan has been dropped due to a lack of evidence, Will is thrilled and immediately tells his abuser.
As the teenager and his teacher plot a secret trip to Paris, Ollie fumes at his dad Ben for being unable to protect his younger brother. Eva, meanwhile, is in despair following the result of the investigation, so Maggie advises her to pay Megan a visit.

“When Maggie recently visited Megan, it resulted in physical violence – and sure enough, history repeats itself with Eva,” continues our insider. “Maggie advises Eva to face up to Megan herself before Ben does something he’ll regret, and a scrappy Eva takes that very literally…”
Eva’s half-sister Leanne then advises her to search Will’s room, where the horrified landlady finds a burner phone with only one contact number saved.
Leanne and Eva team up with Toyah, and they decide to send a message to the mystery caller asking to meet up. When they find themselves face-to-face with Megan, a fight breaks out.
“This is a serious warning to Megan that she’s messed with the wrong family, and she’s left in a crumpled heap on the pavement,” reveals our informant.

“During the scuffle, Eva slips a tracking device into Megan’s bag in the hope that she can catch her in the act, but this violent behaviour doesn’t look good – especially since Megan is amongst the possible murder victims this month…”
Later in the week, Eva informs her sisters that the sick Megan has admitted to sleeping with Will. Could the twisted teacher’s confession lead to justice? Or will someone bump her off before the law can catch up with her?
Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
