Previous Page Next PageWill Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) arrived to Coronation Street later than his other family members, and this was because he was with a woman called Megan (Beth Nixon).
The two characters created a cover story for Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) and Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) when they eventually arrived in Weatherfield. To Will, this was to hide what he thinks is an exciting reality.
To us, it was revealed to be a lie to cover up the fact Megan is sexually abusing Will.
Megan has convinced Will, who is underage, that they are in a relationship. She often tests his loyalty by creating situations that increase his jealousy, and has also wormed her way into the Driscoll clan so they don’t get suspicious.
While Ben and Eva are none the wiser at the moment, upcoming episodes will see another Rovers Return local start to wonder about the dynamic Will and Megan have.
Eva forces Will to apologise to Lauren for trying to kiss her. She assures him it’s water under the bridge, so Will heads off to meet Megan.

Unbeknownst to them both, Lauren is watching Megan and Will from afar with a growing sense of unease. Lauren was groomed and abused by Joel Deering, so she will be able to notice worrying signs between Megan and Will.
Who will Lauren tell?
If she confronts Megan, how will she deal with this?
‘She’s not a one-dimensional character. She’s not just this evil person. She has all these other things going on—all these life experiences she’s had, which have led her up to this point.

‘The audience doesn’t know, the other characters don’t know, but she knows. So, there are all these things I’ve decided in my preparation,’ Beth Nixon explained.
‘She’s very insecure. She’s desperate to be loved; she’s desperate to be adored. And her reasons for that will eventually be uncovered, and we’ll dig deeper and find out more about her. But she’s a flawed person. She’s really complex.
‘As an actor, you’ve got to delve deep and find a reason for why a person, a “villain” as such is a loose term, behaves in that way.’

‘We can see her slowly worm her way into the family and befriend Eva and Maggie and really get the women on side with her,’ Beth teased. ‘They think she’s good for Will; they think she’s a brilliant mentor. So, no one is suspecting anything at the moment.
