Eva might be in trouble...

In tonight’s episode of Coronation Street (Thursday, April 2), it was revealed that Megan Walsh actually secretly terminated her pregnancy.

She’d made Maggie believed that her assault had caused her to lose her unborn baby when this wasn’t the case.

A new Coronation Street fan theory has now predicted that Maggie will kill Megan but Eva will end up in the frame.

Megan’s termination in Coronation Street

Things took a lively turn tonight as DS Lisa Swain popped into the pub with questions for Maggie, following Megan Walsh’s shock claim of assault. Maggie, never one to dodge a situation, openly admitted she’d paid Megan a visit at her flat and that things had got a bit heated between them. But when Lisa revealed Megan’s accusation, Maggie didn’t exactly crumble under the pressure.

Meanwhile, Megan was clearly in her feelings, pinning the loss of her baby squarely on Maggie and suggesting the alleged attack was to blame. Maggie, however, wasn’t rattled. Instead, she coolly steered the conversation in another direction, keen to get answers about the baby’s father. Megan kept tight-lipped, but it was obvious Maggie already had her suspicions firmly in place.

Later on, the mood shifted as Megan opened up in a therapy session. She was visibly emotional as she spoke about losing her baby. She shared how she’d always dreamed of having a family, especially after struggling to conceive due to PCOS. The pregnancy had felt like a rare and precious chance.

But then came the real twist. Megan admitted she hadn’t lost the baby at all – she’d chosen to end the pregnancy. Despite not being religious, she couldn’t shake the feeling she might be punished and feared she’d never get another chance to become a mum. This was all a carefully guarded secret, meant to stop anyone uncovering that teen Will was the father.

Viewers will know that Maggie has killed before (namely her husband Alan). And, that Megan is a possible murder victim on April 23rd. She’s one of five potential victims shown in a recent flashforward – alongside Theo, Carl, Maggie and Jodie.

But, the theory also suggests that while Maggie could kill Megan, she might frame her own son’s wife Eva Price.

On Reddit, a fan wrote: “Eva is apparently leaving the cobbles again soon and it got me thinking: Maggie kills Megan in the Whodunit storyline, but Maggie somehow frames Eva, meaning Eva gets sent down for the murder and gives her space to leave again whilst keeping Maggie and the Ben storyline open and puts an end to the Megan storyline.”

Catherine Tyldesley is set to take a short break from filming on Corrie so that she can film her exit for The Good Ship Murder. But, could Eva’s brief exit see her behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit?
