Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow from Monday’s episode (26 January)<\/a>, which is available to watch now on ITVX<\/a> and YouTube<\/a> but hasn’t yet aired on ITV1.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street’s Sam Blakeman makes a new enemy tonight after voicing his suspicions over Will Driscoll and Megan Walsh’s inappropriate relationship<\/a>. Is Megan about to start making Sam’s life a misery?<\/p>\n

A big new storyline for Sam began last week<\/a>, as he overheard teenage athlete Lee<\/a> confiding in Will about his own sexual encounters with groomer Megan. Will dismissed Lee’s claims, but the damage was done when Sam caught the tail end of the conversation.<\/p>\n

In follow-up scenes tonight, Sam’s suspicions grow when Leanne Battersby finds a boy’s tracksuit top in the flat she now shares with Megan.<\/p>\n

Megan claims that it belongs to her boyfriend Daniel Osbourne, but Sam later spots Will with it and puts two and two together.<\/p>\n

Determined to do the right thing, Sam offers to support Will by reporting Megan for what she’s doing.<\/p>\n

Still unable to see the disturbing reality behind Megan’s behaviour, Will protects her by denying everything. Sensing his friend’s fear, Sam isn’t convinced.<\/p>\n

Later, when word gets back to Megan, she’s quick to seize an opportunity to confront Sam at Speed Daal. Abusing her position of power at the school, Megan makes a veiled threat to secure his silence\u2026<\/p>\n

“I’m his coach \u2013 I’ve known him for years, so we had a laugh about it,” Megan tells Sam, explaining how she and Will have been talking about his suspicions.<\/p>\n

“But if anyone really thought there was something going on, then it wouldn’t be very funny, would it? Do you understand?”<\/p>\n

When Sam reluctantly agrees, Megan replies: “A* for Blakeman\u2026”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street’s producer Kate Brooks previously named<\/a> the Megan and Sam dynamic as one to watch out for in the coming months.<\/p>\n

“[Sam] potentially gets wind that something’s amiss,” Brooks explained.<\/p>\n

“We will see the lengths that Megan will go to in order to manipulate Sam and to keep him quiet, and it will be massively detrimental to Sam’s wellbeing.”<\/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
