HEART-STOPPING MOMENT FOR YOUNG SAM BLAKEMAN AS HE SUDDENLY COLLAPSES WHILE THE WALLS FINALLY CLOSE IN ON MEGAN WALSH
Coronation Street‘s Sam Blakeman falls unconscious in the middle of the Street next week, just as the net closes in on Megan Walsh. Will Sam’s health crisis bring on Megan’s downfall?
In the café, Nina Lucas can’t help but notice that Sam is far from his usual cheery self. She confides in Eva Price that the youngster has barely touched his food and seems all over the place.
Eva makes her way towards Sam for a chat, but before she can get to him, Megan turns up at the café – which triggers the teenager to make a run for it…

“Sam barely makes it a few steps outside Roy’s, then he hits the ground,” our Corrie insider reveals. “Eva sprints towards him as Megan follows close behind her. Crouching down, Eva attends to Sam, while Megan dials for an ambulance.
“Little does Eva know that the woman in front of her is responsible for poor Sam’s suffering. Could this ordeal be the trigger that persuades Sam to come clean about Megan?”
At the hospital, Leanne takes a seat by Sam’s bedside, where she suggests that his upcoming exams aren’t the real reason that he started to take ADHD medication – and that it’s now time to open up about whatever is troubling him.
With Leanne so clearly desperate to help, will Sam tell all about the hell that Megan has put him through?

“Sam braces himself to spill the beans,” reveals our insider. “But just at that moment, Eva peeks around the hospital door. Sam knows Eva well, but he’s nowhere near as close with her as he is with Leanne. Not to mention the fact that what he knows about Megan and Will impacts Eva’s family directly.
“So, with that in mind, it’s hard to know whether Sam will muster up the courage to share all the disturbing details about Megan. Eva and Leanne are both kind and understanding souls, so here’s hoping that Sam will finally feel safe enough to unload all that weight he is carrying on his shoulders.”
In the aftermath of Sam’s accident, pressure begins to mount on Megan. At the same time, Sam’s loved ones come together to support him, which is a welcome relief given how much he has hidden from them over the last few weeks.

Later in the week, Eva, Ben, Toyah, Ollie and Leanne share a grim meeting in the Rovers backroom. There, Megan’s past comes to the fore as the Driscolls are left to wrap their heads around another shock discovery.
Protective dad Ben is the picture of a broken man when he turns to Eva, but can he keep himself together for his family? Or will he and Eva struggle to cope with the reality they now face?
“Ben looks as though he’s been hit by a ton of bricks,” sighs our spy. “The fact that Leanne and Toyah are with Eva, Ben and Ollie at the time of the revelation is a sure sign that it’s something incredibly serious…”
Coronation Street bosses began a promo campaign for these episodes at the weekend, as a tense trailer offered the first look at Megan’s downfall.
With shocking truths coming to light, will Megan finally get what’s coming to her? And if so, is she doomed to rot in HMP Weatherfield – or face an even more sinister fate?
Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
