Nick then came to his son’s rescue, wondering what was upsetting him. Fans are concerned for the state of Sam’s mental health (Credit: ITV) Coronation Street fans predict serious mental health storyline for Sam Corrie viewers reckon that Sam is seeing and hearing Will when he actually isn’t there, providing an explanation as to why Will looked so baffled when Sam confronted him over the phone calls. Fans have now taken to social media to suggest that these scenes could be the start of a serious mental health storyline for Sam. And, it could see him diagnosed with schizophrenia. One fan commented: “”What does everyone think about Will’s phone call to Sam in today’s episode? Will’s voice in the call sounded quite off which was possibly not intentional but was just suss. In my opinion, it only makes sense to be a paranoia / psychosis situation on Sam’s behalf… There’s been gradual hints to Sam’s mental decline and lack of stability in recent episodes and his growing distrust of those around him, so just assuming this is a direction they could go with for him in the future.” Another person also added: “Yeah, I was suspicious about that too. Why would Will ever call Leanne’s phone to threaten Sam? I think the writers are going to make Sam a schizophrenic. It can be triggered by stress, or trauma.” A third person shared: “I’m wondering if Sam is getting a schizophrenia storyline. First paranoia, now an auditory hallucination.” But, could this be where the storyline is heading? What else happened in Coronation Street tonight?
