Coronation Street’s Megan Walsh could be keeping another huge secret from the Driscoll family
Fans of Coronation Street believe they’ve uncovered the father of Megan Walsh’s baby in a “wild” Driscoll DNA twist.
ITV soap fans will recall that Megan (portrayed by Beth Nixon) made her debut in Weatherfield back in November 2025, where she was introduced as the athletics coach of youngster Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale), who relocated from Hull to the cobbles with his family.
However, it later transpired that Megan had been grooming 16-year-old Will for months prior to his move to Weatherfield. The pair maintained their relationship on the street, with Megan concealing her actions by initiating a romance with fellow teacher Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).
But there’s more, as Megan is also expecting Will’s child, having initially considered a termination.
Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) recently discovered Megan and Will’s relationship, leading to the predator threatening the youngster into silence. After enduring several threats and insults from Megan, Sam eventually revealed the truth to his former stepmother, Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson), reports the Daily Star.

Upon sharing the information with her sisters, Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) and Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor), the sibling trio reported Megan to the police with their newfound knowledge.
Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) subsequently arrested Megan, who has persistently denied her crimes, with Will corroborating her story.
Megan’s pregnancy was revealed last week, leaving Daniel stunned. When Megan declined to undergo a DNA test to establish her innocence, Daniel started to question her, resulting in their messy split.
Despite his family’s efforts to distance him from Megan, Will maintains his connection to the teacher, with the duo secretly arranging to communicate via new burner phones. Nevertheless, Will was soon distressed when Megan didn’t answer his calls.
Now, some Corrie watchers are convinced that a major twist awaits the Driscoll family, with many suspecting that Will isn’t the father of Megan’s baby.
Soap enthusiasts are instead questioning Will’s elder brother, Ollie (Raphael Akuwudike), after he recently looked suspicious in the Rovers Return when Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) asked if the rumours about Will and Megan were accurate.
“Wonder if Ollie’s the dad of Megan’s kid. It looks like he knows something,” one person wrote on a Facebook fan page.
Another added: “I thought that too. He’s definitely been involved with her in some way,” whilst a third said: “This would be so wild, but Ollie hass been looking sheepish recently.”
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “Well, I always thought it was the other boy from Hull, but when I saw Ollie’s face when it was revealed she was pregnant, I thought possibly his,” with another similarly sharing: “God this would be a twist for the ages!”
