Megan’s pregnancy storyline in Coronation Street keeps hovering in the background instead of exploding across the street the way soap pregnancies usually do. Small hints keep appearing, yet nobody has properly confronted her and that odd delay is starting to look deliberate rather than accidental.
The Street Knows Something But Nobody Is Saying It
Recent episodes only gave one solid update: Will bought an infant football jersey, confirming he believes the baby is real. Megan is now close to two months pregnant, and Daniel has already seen the pregnancy test, so at least two people understand the situation is serious. Despite that, the expected reactions never arrived. Megan still walks around without major questions from Daniel, even though she hasn’t touched alcohol in weeks.
A storyline like this would normally dominate every conversation, yet characters behave as if they are waiting for proof.
Viewers noticed the strange pacing immediately. Some fans even doubt the pregnancy exists at all, while others think the writers are storing the reveal for a dramatic payoff. One theory circulating online predicts a dark twist; Maggie killing pregnant Megan in a future flash-forward.
The Father Question Keeps Getting Messier
Speculation really starts once the timeline gets examined. Megan has been involved with Will and Daniel, yet the dates don’t perfectly fit either man.
She claimed to be eight weeks pregnant early on, which complicates the idea that Will or Daniel is definitely the father. Another possibility points to a boy connected to Will’s old school. It’s the same one who argued with him weeks ago and was overheard by Sam.
Some viewers believe she was secretly seeing him before Christmas while he stayed at her house, meaning the dates could align far better. Fans also suspect manipulation. A few predict she may claim the baby belongs to Daniel once suspicion grows, while others think she could fake a miscarriage when she fails to show. One viewer summed up the dilemma: she can’t hide the pregnancy forever and may eventually say Daniel is the father.
Onscreen behaviour raises more questions because Megan shows almost no physical changes. She hasn’t complained about pain, hasn’t seemed exhausted, and nobody has noticed obvious signs yet. Several viewers said someone should have realised she stopped drinking long ago. The real mystery remains the writer’s intention. Either the show is preparing a major paternity shock, or the pregnancy itself hides a lie. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Coronation Street spoilers.
