Matters took an alarming turn this week though, when Sam overdosed on ADHD medication.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">At hospital, Sam at last disclosed the truth about Megan and Will to stepmother Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) with the revelation eventually reaching Will&#8217;s father Ben (Aaron McCusker) and grandmother Maggie (Pauline McLynn).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Coronation Street \" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/18_03_coro_leanne_sam_eva_02.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Leanne will get the truth out of Sam about Megan's threatening behaviour\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Leanne will get the truth out of Sam about Megan&#8217;s threatening behaviour<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Megan was subsequently swiftly arrested on suspicion of child grooming, before later being released. And in Friday&#8217;s episode (March 20), the consequences continued as word spread about Megan being pregnant, reports <a aria-label=\"\" class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/tv\/coronation-street-spoilers-reveal-sams-36899933\" rel=\"follow nofollow noopener\" tabindex=\"0\" target=\"_self\">the Daily Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Despite claiming it was her boyfriend Daniel Osbourne&#8217;s (Rob Mallard) baby, people saw through her lies, including Daniel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Coronation Street spoilers reveal Sam's ordeal isn't over yet and it\u2019s not looking good\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/0_Screenshot-2026-03-20-at-125342jpeg.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"Coronation Street spoilers reveal Sam's ordeal isn't over yet and it\u2019s not looking good\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">Coronation Street spoilers reveal Sam&#8217;s ordeal isn&#8217;t over yet and it\u2019s not looking good(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Subsequently, Maggie confronted Sam and questioned why he didn&#8217;t speak up sooner about Megan and Will before suggesting Sam remained silent in exchange for better grades at school, leaving him looking shaken.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, spoilers for next week have revealed the drama is nowhere near finished for Sam. In Tuesday&#8217;s episode (March 24), Daniel encourages Sam to tell the police everything he knows as Megan deserves to be punished.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"In spoilers for next week, Ben calls the Driscoll family together to discuss Megan's baby and the fact that she refuses to take a DNA test\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/26_03_coro_ben_will_01.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p aria-label=\"In spoilers for next week, Ben calls the Driscoll family together to discuss Megan's baby and the fact that she refuses to take a DNA test\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\">In spoilers for next week, Ben calls the Driscoll family together to discuss Megan&#8217;s baby and the fact that she refuses to take a DNA test(Image: ITV)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">However, Sam becomes increasingly anxious after Hope Stape (Isabella Flanagan) cautions that Daniel and Megan are likely working together, and it&#8217;s wiser not to disclose anything to him. Later in the week, Sam reveals to Hope that he&#8217;s disposed of his mobile phone, suspecting Daniel was monitoring his email, and emphasises the importance of staying alert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Meanwhile on the soap, Ben gathers the family to address Megan&#8217;s baby and her refusal to undergo a DNA test. When Will jumps to Megan&#8217;s defence, Maggie loses her temper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Subsequently, Ben convinces a hesitant Will to participate in a counselling session, hoping he might discuss his relationship with Megan more openly. When Kit (Jacob Roberts) discloses that forensic analysis of Will&#8217;s and Megan&#8217;s phones indicates nothing unlawful, Ben and Eva are left disheartened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Coronation Street airs Monday to Friday at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coronation Street spoilers have confirmed Sam Blakeman is set for more drama next week on the long-running ITV&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[2525,96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-488064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-coronation-street","tag-entertainment","tag-tv","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
