Megan Walsh will finally face justice on Coronation Street, as āretributionā has been confirmed.
Corrie boss Kate Brooks has promised a comeuppance is on the cards, while it will be through āthe proper channelsā. She appeared to confirm the child groomer will face her downfall via the legal system after her abuse victim Will Driscoll reports her to the police in upcoming scenes.
āWill still thinks they are in love, with the teen denying groomer Megan manipulated him and abused him. He will soon realise the truth though and it sparks Meganās downfall.

But speaking to The Mirror, Kate hinted that it could go either way when Megan faces justice, and it doesnāt necessarily mean she would be found guilty. After cast members were pictured filming court scenes on location, Kate teased where the storyline was headed, with ādarkā moments ahead.
She told us: āThe stuff with Megan and Will, thereās a bit of a journey to go on with that story. So obviously sheās been exposed, but Will at this point, he believed it was love.
āHe believed it was all genuine. Scales fall from his eyes and Timās going to be so instrumental in kind of making them realise whatās gone on and how unacceptable and how wrong it was.
āItās about the family falling apart, but then kind of building themselves back up again as they try desperately to kind of repair the damage that Meganās done. Obviously, there are soap Gods, and as in soap Godās law, thereāll be some kind of retribution for Megan.
āShe cannot get off of this scot-free. We will go down the proper channels. Whether it goes to plan or not, I cannot say, but it goes down quite a very big path.

āWill will be quite badly affected by what heās been through with Megan. It does go a bit dark as well.ā It comes as Beth Nixon, who plays Megan, confessed an exit was on the way as her character could not be redeemed.
She said to The Mirror: āIāve loved playing Megan. And then the public reaction, I think obviously people hate her and, sheās a cow. But then itās quite interesting because I think thereās people who are trying to understand her because weāve never gone into why sheās doing the things that sheās doing.ā
āLike, why is she grooming young boys? Thereās no justification because itās unjustifiable, isnāt it, really? But I think thatās really nice from the storytelling point of view that thereās no point in justifying it, we donāt know why sheās doing it and it doesnāt matter.
āItās been interesting to see the public try and figure out like, I wonder why sheās doing this? Why is she doing that? Like, it makes no sense, why would she do that? But it does make no sense because why would you be attracted to a child?
āMegan, is unredeemable.ā Beth also told The Mirror how Megan needed to be punished, and that she understood the call from viewers for her to face prison.
