Coronation Street’s Megan Walsh Faces Loss of Key Ally in ITVX Episode

Friday’s Coronation Street episode, dated 20 March, is available now on ITVX and YouTube. The instalment has not yet aired on ITV1.

Megan Walsh grows increasingly panicked in the episode. Her boyfriend, Daniel Osbourne, becomes the latest character to spot her true colours.

Plot developments and revelations

Viewers see Megan work to avoid consequences after grooming accusations. Sam Blakeman raised the alarm earlier in the week. Police have so far found little evidence and made no charges.

Daniel had defended Megan until now. He discovers she has been deceptive about a pregnancy. A tense exchange at the café leads to hard questions from Eva Price.

Daniel withdraws support

Megan refuses to agree to a DNA test. Daniel then realises the baby could be Will Driscoll’s. He goes to the Rovers Return and orders his nephew, Adam Barlow, to remove her from the law firm’s client list.

In the pub, Daniel loudly accuses Megan of being a child groomer and of carrying Will’s child. His outburst exposes Will’s situation to many people. The revelation risks making things worse for the vulnerable schoolboy.

Aftermath and support

The storyline was developed with input from Barnardo’s. Support and information are available via the charity’s website.

In the ITVX episode, Coronation Street viewers witness a clear loss of key ally for Megan Walsh. The move marks a major shift in her position in Weatherfield.

Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX. For more spoilers and analysis, visit Filmogaz.com and listen to soap industry podcasts like Soap Scoop.
