Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow from Wednesday’s episode (18 March)<\/a>, which is available to watch now on ITVX<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> but hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street sets Megan Walsh’s downfall<\/a> in motion tonight, as she’s finally arrested for grooming Will Driscoll. But is there still a chance that she could worm her way out of trouble?<\/p>\n

In an emotional episode, Eva Price, Leanne Battersby and Toyah Battersby<\/a> continue their mission to bring Megan to justice after Sam Blakeman’s recent revelations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eva breaks the news to her partner Ben that Megan has been grooming his teenage son for months. However, when Ben questions Will, he sticks to a pre-prepared cover story \u2013 claiming that he had a one-sided crush and Megan rejected him.<\/p>\n

Will and Megan make panicked plans to flee Weatherfield together, but they’re stopped in their tracks after Ben, Eva, Leanne and Toyah unite to report Megan to the police.<\/p>\n

Kit Green turns up at Weatherfield High to arrest Megan on suspicion of child grooming \u2013 to the horror of her boyfriend Daniel Osbourne, who jumps to her defence.<\/p>\n

As the dust settles, though, is there enough evidence to prove Megan’s guilt? Or could she end up walking free as it’s her word against Sam’s?<\/p>\n

Speaking recently<\/a> about the future of this plot, Jane Danson \u2013 who plays Leanne \u2013 told Inside Soap<\/a>: “This storyline involves so many characters who all react differently. Lots of other stories are born out of it. It will affect lots of relationships.<\/p>\n

“Eva is protective of her stepson Will, she and Leanne are united in looking out for their kids, and Toyah\u2019s a big part of that. It\u2019s the three sisters against the world!”<\/p>\n

On Sam’s involvement in the plot, she added: “I watched Alex [Bain, who played Simon] grow into a young man and have some amazing stories. Now Jude [Riordan, who portrays Sam] is in his last years of high school and going into his GCSEs. It’s like watching your own children grow up!<\/p>\n

“Jude is handling this storyline really well, he’s amazing. Sam is a lovely, moral, honest character, like a mini Roy Cropper!”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street has worked on Will and Megan’s grooming storyline with support from Barnardo’s. Support and information is available via the charity’s website<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
