As Coronation Street finally remembers Megan is pregnant, fans are convinced Will is not the dad
Is this the proof everyone is looking for or another nasty surprise?In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Thursday, March 19), Leanne revealed that she thinks Megan is pregnant and it could be Will’s baby!
The police began to investigate the claims that Megan had groomed teenager Will but hit a stumbling block as there was no real eveidence.
Then there was good news for Will’s family as they discovered that Megan could be pregnant with Will’s baby – all the evidence they need of the grim relationship.
But the Coronation Street fans aren’t convinced this is going to be the answer the Driscolls are looking for.
Here’s everything that happened in tonight’s episode of Coronation Street.
The Driscolls fell apart
The Driscoll family has been devastated by the revelation that Will’s been groomed by Megan.
And as the episode began the family were bickering about who was to blame, and why it had happened.
Thank goodness, Eva managed to take charge and convince them they had to stick together.
The police began to investigate
Across the Street, Sam was being quizzed by Kit, who wanted to know why he’d been suspicious about Megan and Will.
But Daniel was fuming about everything. He marched across to the pub and cornered Ben in the back room.
He told him that he’d been accused of the same thing – meaning when he was rumoured to have been grooming Summer Spellman back in 2021.
Daniel begged Ben to listen when he told him that Megan was innocent. But Ben wasn’t impressed with Daniel’s interference.
Meanwhile, Kit was still on the case. He questioned Will, who was tight-lipped about anything that may or may not have happened between him and Megan.
Megan turned on the tears
And then it was Megan’s turn to face an interrogation. With Adam by her side, she answered the questions the police fired at her.
But despite her crocodile tears, it was clear the police were far from convinced despite the lack of evidence.
The family – finally – pulled together
There was good news, though, when Maggie got involved. She announced she’d been on the phone to Will’s ex, Chloe, in Hull.
And Chloe had revealed that she and Will broke up before he left for Weatherfield.
The family quickly realised that meant whoever was in the hotel with Will on his birthday was not Chloe – so it could have been Megan!
They charged down to Chariot Square where Ronnie broke the bad news that the CCTV had automatically been wiped.
Leanne chucked Megan out
Later, when Megan made her way back to the flat, she was greeted by the sight of Leanne chucking all her belongings out of the window.
Leanne’s actions were a bit dramatic, perhaps, but she was soon at the pub with some news for the Driscolls.
She revealed, she’d found something when packing up Megan’s stuff – pregnancy vitamins.
Pregnancy shock!
Eva admitted she had known that Megan was pregnant, but she’d told her she’d had an abortion.
But Leanne pointed out no one keeps pregnancy vitamins for a baby that doesn’t exist.
Suddenly the Driscolls realised they could have the evidence they were looking for!
Could there be another shock in store?
But some of the Corrie fans think this isn’t what it seems.
They’re convinced that Megan’s baby isn’t Will’s!
“Will thinks he’s the daddy when it could be Daniel’s or maybe another lads,” wrote one viewer on social media.
While another picked up on Eva saying all the evidence they need could be growing in Megan’s belly.
“This line,” the viewer wrote. “It makes me believe the baby will be the other kid she groomed and that’s possibly why she’s still around in April because theres no proof…”
We know Megan’s been in a romance with Daniel, and that she also had a previous relationship with another pupil.
So perhaps the viewers are on to something!
Shakespeare & Hathaway series 5 episode 3 guest stars revealed
Appearing in everything from Harry Potter to Last Tango in Halifax, these five recruits will certainly spice up 'Destruction, Blood, and Massacre'.

Bill happens to be married to Frank's childhood sweetheart and renowned casting director, Olivia, whom Sebastian is desperate to meet.
Other attendees at the remote country manor include a politician, a solicitor, and Bill's oldest friend.
"But as accusations run riot and secrets both old and new are brought to the surface, Bill suddenly drops dead at the dinner table."

Shakespeare & Hathaway series 5 has welcomed Guy Henry onto the cast (Credit: BBC Studios/U&Alibi)[/caption]
Who plays Bill White?
Guy Henry has the honour of playing this episode's central corpse, Bill.
Familiar to those who adored Extras, he showed up as the BBC's Head of Comedy who hideously contorted Andy Millman's sitcom Where the Whistle Blows.
Guy was given the title role of Young Sherlock: The Mystery of the Manor House at the beginning of his career, before memorably stepping into the sandals of Rome's Cassius.
He was later part of one of the streaming era's biggest franchises thanks to his casting as Dr. John Monro in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
Death in Paradise eventually wanted his services in 2024, but Guy's most recurring work happened across Holby City and Casualty as Henrik Hanssen.
In terms of cinema, he's appeared in V for Vendetta and two Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows films.

Who plays Olivia Bluebell?
As the genius casting director and romantic interest, we have comedy titan Ronni Ancona.
She's let loose various whacky characters in The Sketch Show, Fist of Fun, The Big Impression and Monkey Trousers, yet when she's not playing for laughs, Ronni is just as comfortable in reality TV formats.
Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, QI, Would I Lie to You?, and Strictly Come Dancing are just some of them.
You may also remember her as Last Tango in Halifax's Judith, or Jenna Fitch in Skins.

Owning certain bragging rights for appearing in Batman Begins, the actor's comfort zone is in soapland.
He played Mitch Baker in EastEnders, with 439 episodes to his name.
Other mentionable jobs include D-Brain in Channel 4's Dubplate Drama, Tony in the comedy-drama Vexed, and Gabriel Drummond in Family Affairs.
