\t\t\"Will
\n\t\tEvil Megan\u2019s got one last trick up her sleeve. (Picture: ITV)<\/p>\n

Arrested, exposed and charged with sexually abusing a minor. Think Megan Walsh<\/a>\u00a0(Beth Nixon<\/a>) is leaving Coronation Street without a fight? Think again.<\/p>\n

One of the most deplorable Corrie villains of all time is finally getting a much needed dose of justice.<\/p>\n

Behind the carefully crafted image as an athletics coach lies a remorseless predator who grooms underage boys right under the nose of their families, like she did with\u00a0Will Driscoll<\/a>\u00a0(Lucas Hodgson-Wale<\/a>) and his friend,\u00a0former victim, Lee (Oscar Aldersley)<\/a>. For the longest time, Will was completely under Megan\u2019s thrall and genuinely believed that they were in love. But it was only ever about control.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"Megan

Anyone who posed a threat to exposing their twisted relationship found themselves a target for Megan\u2019s manipulations. She tormented schoolboy \u00a0Sam Blakeman<\/a>\u00a0(Jude Riordan<\/a>) to the brink of madness <\/a>for bringing her crimes to light. She taunted Will\u2019s step-mum Eva Price<\/a>\u00a0(Catherine Tyldesley<\/a>)\u00a0for trying to secure her confession with a sickening brag about sleeping with Will<\/a>. She even managed to escape the wrath of Will\u2019s murderous grandmother<\/a> Maggie Driscoll<\/a>\u00a0(Pauline McLynn<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Not all of Megan\u2019s victims were children. The paedophile essentially used Weatherfield High teacher Daniel Osbourne<\/a>\u00a0(Rob Mallard) <\/a>as her beard, only dating him so nobody would suspect her of abuse. This has severely damaged both Daniel\u2019s reputation and mental state.<\/a><\/p>\n

Out of all of Megan\u2019s many enemies, it was wisecracking Weatherfield cabbie Tim Metcalfe<\/a>\u00a0(Joe Duttine<\/a>) who ultimately proved to be Megan\u2019s downfall. <\/p>\n

On the day that Will was due to run away with her to France, not realising that Megan\u2019s plan was to run off without him, Tim just happened to pick him up in his taxi. Tim is the one of the few people in Weatherfield that Will could relate to, having been a victim of a predatory older woman\u2019s advances himself as a teenager<\/a>. With Tim\u2019s encouragement, the scales finally fell from Will\u2019s eyes and ,\u00a0he reported Megan to the police.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the nightmare is far from over.<\/p>\n

Megan\u2019s abuse has robbed Will of any sense of normality. He even accused \u00a0Bethany Platt<\/a>\u00a0(Lucy Fallon<\/a>), herself a former victim of grooming, of trying to seduce him when shequickly went awry when\u00a0she was trying to offer a shoulder to cry on.<\/a><\/p>\n

The one silver lining is a blossoming friendship with <\/a>Hope Stape<\/a>\u00a0(Isabella Flanagan<\/a>) that could be something more.<\/p>\n
