LIFE HANGS IN THE BALANCE: SAM RUSHED TO HOSPITAL AS MEGAN WALSH’S TWISTED MIND GAMES TAKE A DARKER TURN

Vile Coronation Street predator Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) took even more twisted action against Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) in tonight’s episode as she fought to keep her grooming of Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) under wraps.

Sports coach Megan has been sleeping with Will since his 16th birthday, but their so-called relationship began long before then.

Despite Megan’s efforts to hide her crime, student Sam has caught on, and Megan has gone out of her way to keep him quiet.

Her first move was to steal his essay so that he was given a late mark, which affected his otherwise perfect grades.

Since then, she has escalated to threatening Sam, telling him that no one would believe him.

When Megan realised that Sam had hidden a camera in her flat to catch her with Will, she turned it around on him and threatened to expose him as a ‘creep’.

Unfortunately, all of this has had a much bigger impact on Sam than simply keeping him quiet.

Desperate to ensure that his grades didn’t slip, Sam started taking ADHD medication so that he could stay awake to study.

However, in tonight’s episode, his abuse of the pills had dire consequences.

He gave his family a fright when he collapsed in the street, and dad Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) was shocked to learn about the drugs he’d been taking.

Sam came clean after regaining consciousness and promised he would stop taking the medication.

However, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) was concerned that there was more to his drug-taking than just his grades. She has noticed a change in his attitude and behaviour over the past few weeks and has been determined to get to the bottom of it.

Unfortunately, Sam refused to open up to her, and maintained that he was simply stressed about his exams.

But, that could soon be set to change…

Later in the episode, having once again promised Will that she would make sure to keep Sam quiet, Megan paid him a visit.

She made him promise to stick to their deal, reminding him of what would happen if he spoke out.

However, what she didn’t realise was that Leanne was watching through the window.

Is Megan finally set to be caught out? Or will she continue to torment poor Sam?
