Coronation Street has aired more distressing scenes for Sam Blakeman as he continues struggling with his mental health following Megan Walsh’s arrest.
<\/p>\n

Sam was the first to realise Megan’s secret grooming of her student, Will Driscoll, and spoke up on the teacher’s crimes, ending up being bullied into silence. As Megan has now been exposed thanks to Will’s statement, Sam’s mental health has taken a nosedive. In a recent scene, Sam imagined Will was attacking him in an alleyway, but it was revealed to be a figment of his imagination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In tonight’s episode, Corrie has aired two more upsetting scenes for Sam, giving a glimpse into his downward spiral.<\/p>\n

As Sam was revising for his exams at Leanne’s, he hallucinated that Will was there to threaten him.<\/p>\n

“You’d better watch your back ’cause I’m coming for you,” imaginary Will told Sam, who was taken aback. When Leanne returned to the kitchen, a shaken Sam asked her if she’d heard the door slamming, but she reassured him that it’d have been the wind.
<\/p>\n

Still on edge, Sam said he would go revise at the Bistro, leaving Leanne concerned.<\/p>\n

At the Bistro, Nick told Sam and Toyah that Megan had pleaded not guilty and she’d go to trial.<\/p>\n

“Whatever you decide, whatever, that’s ok,” Toyah assured Sam, reminding him that he didn’t have to testify if he didn’t want to.<\/p>\n

A petrified Sam put his headphones back on, hearing Will’s voice undermining his confidence and suggesting that his own family didn’t trust him.<\/p>\n

Later on, Sam overheard a conversation between Toyah and Nick. While the couple was innocently commenting on the wine order for the restaurant, Sam imagined they were talking about him, suggesting he was “jealous” of Will. <\/p>\n

“I mean, it’s obviously why Sam’s been lying about them,” he heard Toyah say.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, if I’m honest, I feel ashamed of him,” Nick replied in Sam’s hallucination.<\/p>\n

Watching his dad and Toyah talk on the Bistro’s CCTV, a teary-eyed Sam said: “I’m on my own.”<\/p>\n

Will Toyah, Nick and Leanne realise the teen is in a bad way before it’s too late?<\/p>\n

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