\"CoronationThere’s a twist coming up in Coronation Street’s grooming plot<\/p>\n

Coronation Street<\/a>‘s grooming plot is set to take a horrific turn with a shock pregnancy<\/a> test.<\/p>\n

Megan Walsh, played by newcomer Beth Nixon, has been at the centre of a harrowing storyline that has seen her navigate a sexual relationship with her student Will Driscoll whilst finding a partner in Daniel Osbourne<\/a> (Rob Mallard<\/a>), whom she parades in public as a cover-up for her illicit affair with the teenager.<\/p>\n

There’s a twist coming up in which Megan feels the need to buy a pregnancy test, but, of course things go from bad to worse as soon as she does so.<\/p>\n

Megan heads out of the shop, with something hidden in her bag and is confronted by an angry Will who wants to know if she stayed at Daniel\u2019s flat. He’s already not in the best of moods having seen just how Megan’s relationship with Daniel is blossoming as he spots them going to get a birthday cake for Daniel’s son Bertie.<\/p>\n

There’s a surprise in store at the birthday party over at number one when Alya tells Bertie to get the cake candles out of her bag but he accidentally goes in Megan\u2019s bag and pulls out a pregnancy test! How will she explain?<\/p>\n

By the end of the week, Megan’s situation still isn’t looking any brighter. Leanne and Eva find the teacher sobbing in Victoria Garden, but just what will she tell them? Daniel and Megan then head out to the Bistro, where he admits that he’s falling in love with her.<\/p>\n

\"CoronationSecrets will be revealed at Bertie’s birthday party<\/p>\n

There’s so signs of the drama for Megan ending anytime soon, as actress Beth recently signed a new contract. Speaking about landing the role, Beth said: \u201cEarlier this year, my agent sent me a casting brief and explained it was for a paedophile, which is a bit crazy to play because they\u2019re obviously not a redeemable character, so they can push it pretty far.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"CoronationLater in the week, Eva and Leanne rush to comfort Megan when they find her sobbing in Victoria Garden<\/p>\n

Beth also spoke about raising awareness of the subject matter, which is sometimes glamourised in society. She said: \u201cIt creates a lot of debate, because a lot of people say, \u2018It\u2019s a 15-year-old boy\u2019s dream\u2019 but, if you flip it the other way round, it\u2019s always seen as disgusting.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it\u2019s a storyline that makes one person recognise that this is happening to them and it\u2019s wrong, then it has done its job.\u201d<\/p>\n
