Coronation Street villain tipped to exit ITV soap this summer after hard-hitting storyline

Coronation Street‘s troublesome character Megan Walsh is about to leave the show, according to reports. Actress Beth Nixon, who plays Megan, is expected to exit the ITV soap.

Over several months, the woman manipulated and befriended her student, Will Driscoll, and later discovered she was pregnant with his child. Together, they intimidated Sam Blakeman into keeping quiet about what happened, but he ultimately told the police, leading to her arrest.

Although there wasn’t enough proof to press charges against her, she was taken into custody as soon as Will revealed details about their relationship.

People found out this week that she was released, and she’ll soon try to get in touch with the person she harmed. However, this story isn’t over yet.

Earlier this month, the show’s producer, Kate Brooks, hinted that the storyline still had some way to go, but confirmed that the character in question would eventually face consequences for their actions.

Brooks explained the story centers on a family dealing with collapse, but ultimately working to rebuild and fix the problems caused by Megan’s actions.

It’s clear there will be consequences for Megan’s actions. She won’t escape punishment, and we’ll address the situation through official procedures.

I’m not sure how things will turn out, but this situation is likely to have a significant impact. Will is really struggling after his experience with Megan, and things are taking a troubling turn.

The Sun newspaper reports that actress Nixon is filming her last scenes. While ITV hasn’t officially confirmed she’s leaving, sources suggest this is happening.

Filming recently took place at the former court building on Le Mans Crescent in Bolton, with actors recreating scenes set in Weatherfield Crown Court.

Could this be Megan’s trial?

Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 or can be streamed from 7am on ITVX.
