Megan actress Beth Nixon teases Coronation Street return
Is Megan returning to the cobbles sooner than we thought?
Coronation Street fans thought they had finally seen the back of evil Megan Walsh after she was sentenced to five years in prison last week.
However, actress Beth Nixon has teased that her Corrie alter-ego might be back on the cobbles sooner than we thought.
How did Megan groom Will?
When Megan first arrived in Weatherfield last year, she appeared to be a respectable athletics coach who got on well with her students. However, her story took a dark turn. Viewers were shocked when she abused her position of authority to groom Will Driscoll.
Soon, an unsuspecting Will found himself caught up in a coercive relationship. And, it was only thanks to Sam’s sleuthing and Tim’s words of wisdom that the truth about Megan was finally revealed.
After Will had bravely spoken to the police about what Megan had been doing, she was finally arrested. Last week’s court case got off to a dramatic start when Will struggled in court and lied on the stand.
Thankfully, he realised he needed to tell the truth, and the judge let him retestify. This time, he found the courage to tell the court exactly how Megan had groomed him over a series of months.
Coronation Street: Megan finally paid for her crimes
Coronation Street fans were relieved when Megan was eventually found guilty of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, including doing so while in a position of trust.
The judge then sentenced Megan to five years in prison. However, Will’s gran, Maggie, pointed out she could end up serving only half that time.
As officers escorted her from court, Megan branded Will a ‘liar’ before desperately pleading for mum Janine’s help. Fighting back tears, Janine could only watch as her daughter begged her to ‘do something’ before being taken to her cell.
Back at home, Ollie encouraged Will to focus on the future, now that Megan was finally behind bars. But is this really the last we have seen of her?
Is Megan coming back to Coronation Street?
Just as it seemed Megan was safely behind bars for at least the next few years, Beth Nixon has hinted at a shocking comeback during a recent interview on the Inside Soap podcast.
When asked whether Megan might reappear on screen in the near future, actress Beth Nixon didn’t rule it out completely… “We’ll see,” she teased. “We will have to wait and see!”
Beth was also asked whether we could potentially see the character in prison… “I’d love that. Any opportunity to come back, I would always come back. I mean, I loved it so much. I cried so much on my last day!”
