Megan Walsh’s Trial Splits Weatherfield as Jury Prepares to Decide

Contested courtroom testimony has left families at odds and a traumatised teenager confronting relatives about what he was kept from knowing.

Overview

  • Megan Walsh is standing trial after Will Driscoll reported their relationship and she pleaded not guilty; she remains on bail while the jury hears evidence.
  • Will’s pre‑recorded statement was played in court this week and he told family he may ask to give live testimony if the judge permits him to do so.
  • In the dock Megan has given an alternate account and painted herself as the victim while Ben Driscoll was subjected to tough cross‑examination over his parenting.
  • Megan’s mother Janine turned up on the Street and, after being swayed by Megan’s version, approached Will directly which increased tensions around him.
  • Sam Blakeman, who has been in a mental health unit, discovered his family had kept the trial from him, confronted them about the secrecy and expressed fear that Megan could seek revenge if found not guilty.
