This article contains spoilers for tonight’s (April 22) Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on YouTube and ITVX.
Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) has been left utterly sickened after a confrontation with predator Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) in recent Coronation Street scenes.
The entire Driscoll family was rocked to its core when Megan’s abuse of youngest son Will (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) was exposed earlier this year.
Sports coach Megan had been grooming student Will, with the teen believing that they were in a consensual relationship. Things escalated on his 16th birthday when Megan slept with him.
Megan managed to keep her vile secret for months, until Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) caught on to what was going on and eventually told Eva and Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) everything.
Since then, the Driscolls and Battersbys have been determined to find proof of Megan’s abuse so that she can be made to face justice, but with Will insisting that nothing happened, they have had a hard time.
In tonight’s episode, Eva came up with a plan to force Megan to confess.
Having found the burner phone Will had been using to contact Megan, Eva sent a text posing as Will, asking her to meet him.
When Eva, Leanne and Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) arrived at the meeting point, they found Megan waiting, though she tried to play it off as though she’d just been passing by.
In the confrontation that followed, Eva failed to get Megan to admit why she was really there and was frustrated when her phone didn’t ring when she called the number on the burner phone.
When Eva and Leanne wrestled her for the phone, Megan called out for help, leaving them with no choice but to abandon their mission.
However, it wasn’t totally for nothing, as Eva had managed to drop a tracker into Megan’s bag.
Things only got worse when Eva was cautioned by police for assaulting Megan, but she was still determined to get to the truth – and it didn’t take long.
Megan approached her on the street later in the evening and took great pleasure in goading her by admitting how much she had enjoyed her time with Will.
Eva showed great restraint, but she was clearly disgusted by Megan’s admission.
With Megan in the firing line for next week’s murder week, could she be the one to meet her maker – and could Eva be the one to finish her off?
