Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow from Mon<\/a>day’s episode (11 May)<\/a>, which is available to watch now on ITVX<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> but hasn’t aired on ITV1 yet.<\/a><\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs Will Driscoll’s emotional exit tonight, after he agreed to move to Scotland with his mum Melanie<\/a>. But unbeknownst to his family, the teenager is actually planning to flee to France with groomer Megan Walsh<\/a>. Will they discover the truth before it’s too late? <\/p>\n

The episode opens with a concerned Ben Driscoll realising he had left the pub safe open<\/a> the night before, following an argument with Sean Tully. As he counts the money, he discovers \u00a32,000 is missing and starts to doubt his employee. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Will has a secret meeting with Megan, revealing that he was the one who stole the money from the safe. The sports coach is shocked when she learns how much he took, but Will insists they need the money to begin their new life abroad.<\/p>\n

“They think I’m going to Scotland, okay? So by the time they figure it out, you and I will be in France, eating croissants in bed,” he explains.<\/p>\n

Back at the pub, Eva refuses to believe Sean could have stolen from them, and gently asks Will if he’s responsible. Having handed the cash over to Megan, Will acts affronted and performatively empties his bag over the table to prove his innocence.<\/p>\n

Eva is left with no choice but to broach the topic with Sean, who is equally offended by the accusation, and things get even more heated when Ben arrives to question the barman. <\/p>\n

In the backroom, Ben and Steve have an honest chat about the argument with Sean. Ben admits that he’s stressed about Will and keeps expecting Megan to “turn up and whisk him away” – not knowing how right he is. <\/p>\n

When he shares that he’s dreading dropping Will off to the train station, Steve offers Tim’s services<\/a> instead. Steve gives his new half-brother a pep talk, and Ben later apologises to Sean.<\/p>\n

Later, as Will gathers his things, Ben takes the opportunity to ask if Megan is “back on the scene”, which the teen continues to deny. The pair then share an emotional goodbye on the street, before Will gets into Tim’s cab.<\/p>\n

As the car pulls away, Will checks his train booking on his phone, confirming he is heading to the airport. But in upcoming scenes, viewers will see him having a change of heart<\/a>, after an important conversation with Tim. <\/p>\n

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