Will Driscoll is set to make a major decision in Coronation Street that could take him away from Weatherfield very soon. After everything that has happened involving Megan Walsh and the growing problems at home, his mother is now asking him to leave and start fresh in Scotland. His quick reaction leaves even his family surprised.
Will Gets A Chance To Leave Weatherfield
In recent months, Will has been part of a serious storyline involving his coach, Megan Walsh. She groomed him, but Will refused to believe he was being used. He kept saying he understood the situation and did not see himself as a victim.
His family reacted strongly when they learned the truth. Ben and Eva told him to stay away from Megan and tried to protect him. Will ignored their advice and kept going against them, which made things worse between them.
Melanie arrived in Weatherfield last week and made her feelings clear. She blamed Ben and Eva and believed they should have taken better care of Will. In her view, they did not pay enough attention to what was happening.
Melanie Asks Will To Come With Her
Episodes airing between May 5 and 8 show Melanie taking action. She calls Ben and tells him she wants Will to move to Scotland with her. Ben refuses straight away and does not want Will to go.
Melanie then speaks to Will directly and suggests that he should come with her. She tells him that leaving Weatherfield could help him recover. Will feels pressured and walks out without answering. Melanie asks him again later. This time, Ben starts to think differently. He begins to feel that spending time away could help Will move forward.
Will then surprise everyone by agreeing to go. He even says he is ready to leave the next day. His quick decision shocks Ben and raises questions about why he wants to leave so soon. “Melanie isn’t shy when it comes to blaming Ben and Eva,” a Weatherfield insider says.
The source adds that she truly believes they should have kept a closer watch on Will. “It’s surprising to see Will so prepared to leave with his mother,” another source says. The insider suggests that this could mean Megan is no longer part of his life, or there may be another reason behind his choice. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
