Time runs out for abuser Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) in Coronation Street this month, with a new promo trailer confirming that her dark and manipulative nature as a predator is finally exposed.

It’s a moment fans have waited for, as the teacher has been grooming student Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) for months, with Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) thus far the only resident of the eponymous Street who has put two and two together.

In a bid to keep her secret hidden, vile Megan adopted a particularly cruel approach to dealing with Sam, taking delight in pulling his character apart in the hopes of discrediting him should a time come when she needs to defend herself.

Sam has been under a great deal of stress ever since, fearing that his attempt to catch Megan out would come back to haunt him after she threatened to report him for recording her, branding him a ‘pervert’.

But the end is nigh for the abuser, with upcoming scenes set to see Leanne Battersby’s (Jane Danson) suspicions piqued as she launches an investigation to get to the bottom of what’s going on.

In shock scenes, she uncovers the truth about Megan’s abuse of Will – and her campaign of cruel bullying towards Sam.

Word of Megan’s behaviour and actions reach the Rovers, with Ben (Aaron McCusker), Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) and murderous Maggie (Pauline McLynn) left reeling.

The question is: will any of the clan take action to gather evidence in a bid to ensure Megan pays for what she has done?

Or will they go even further in a bid to get revenge?

Megan is one of a number of characters that featured in a flash-forward scene last month, depicting scenes from April in which tragedy strikes on the day of Carla Connor (Alison King) and Lisa Swain’s (Vicky Myers) wedding day.

Betsy (Sydney Martin) is questioned by authorities over a dead body she discovered, though it’s currently unknown who the deceased is.

The possibilities include Megan, Maggie, Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown), Carl Webster (Jonathan Howard) and Theo Silverton (James Cartwright).

With Megan set to be exposed as a predator in the month prior to the horror night, could it be her that is found dead? Or will it be someone else?
