Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale) finally made an appearance in Coronation Street after being missing for several days, much to the relief of Eva Price (Catherine Tyldesley) and the rest of his family – but he is hiding a very dark secret, with the show confirming he has been groomedby Megan, his old sports coach.

The Driscolls moved into the Rovers last week while Will was on a school trip, but when he failed to return, panic set in.

In tonight’s episode, the police got involved in the search for the missing teen, with the family unaware that Will had actually already made it to Weatherfield.

When he spotted the cops, he panicked, and attempted to sneak into the pub through the beer garden, where he bumped into Lily Platt (Grace Ashcroft-Gardner).

It was then that it became clear that he didn’t intend on coming home, when he offered to pay Lily to sneak his passport out to him.

Fortunately, Lily told Eva and Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn), but by the time they got outside, Will was gone again.

Thankfully, he found his own way back to the Rovers later – but he wasn’t on his own.

The family gathered in the backroom to hear from Megan, Will’s old coach, who revealed that she’d found him camping out in one of the changing rooms at the sports hall and had brought him straight back.

As Ben Driscoll (Aaron McCusker) questioned why she didn’t phone them or the police, Megan argued that she was worried Will was a flight risk, before pointing out that she’d been right, seeing as he’d immediately legged it to try and get his passport

However, it later turned out that Megan’s story had been a lie, and there was something much more sinister going on.

When Will snuck out into the ginnel later that night, he met Megan and she warned him to stop acting like a loose cannon, before promising him that they could be together again soon.

It is clear that Will believes he is in a relationship with his former coach, but in reality, she has groomed him.
