Will Driscoll’s first Coronation Street scenes aired today (Wednesday, November 5) and they involved him being groomed by older woman, Megan.

Megan is Will’s athletics coach from Hull who drove the teen back to his family in Weatherfield.

She has now told Will to keep things on the down low to avoid suspicion.

The Driscolls questioned Will in Coronation Street

Will Driscoll worried his family when he failed to show at the station after his trip to Edinburgh with his athletics team.

Brother Ollie had gone to pick him up before returning home without him. Eva was so worried when Will wasn’t answering his phone that she got the police involved.

And, Maggie Driscoll even created ‘missing’ posters to put up.

Secretly hiding on the Street, Will spotted Lily Platt and asked her to fetch his passport in exchange for some cash. Lily betrayed him though and grassed on him.

Will then entered the pub with his athletics coach Megan. Megan told Ben and Eva that she’d stumbled upon Will sleeping at his old changing rooms. She then tried to help by driving him home to his family.

When Ben asked Will why he wanted to stay in Hull, Will made out that he missed his mates. But, this didn’t explain the need to grab his passport though. Remembering the love note, Ben reckoned there was a girl on the scene.

Coronation Street teen groomed

Will’s family decided that they weren’t getting any information out of him and decided to lay the subject to rest for the night. They’d pick it up again the next day.

Instead of going to bed though, Will headed off to the ginnel to meet up with Megan again.

Megan arrived and made it clear to viewers at home that she and Will were dating.

She told him that she was working on a plan so that they could be together but for the time being they needed to avoid suspicion.

She became concerned when the police were sniffing around, telling Will that they needed to ‘bide their time.’

But, will the Driscolls realise that Will is being groomed by the older woman?
