Coronation Street is preparing to unleash another deeply disturbing chapter as Will Driscoll’s jealousy erupts once more — and Daniel Osborne is firmly back in the firing line. What began as a secret, toxic relationship is now metastasising into open aggression, criminal behaviour, and a cover-up that threatens to explode.

At the centre of the storm is Will’s inappropriate relationship with his coach, Megan Walsh — a secret only viewers currently know. To disguise her grooming, Megan has been publicly dating Daniel, presenting the image of a respectable, adult relationship. For Will, watching Megan play happy couples with another man has become unbearable — and dangerous.

Christmas Horror That Refused to Stay Buried

Over Christmas, Will’s rage boiled over in terrifying fashion. Unable to cope with seeing Daniel and Megan grow closer, he attacked Daniel in the ginnel, knocking him unconscious. The incident could have destroyed multiple lives — but was quietly buried when Will’s grandmother Maggie staged the scene to look like a random mugging.

The truth stayed hidden. But the damage didn’t stop.

Birthday Joy Turns to Jealousy

In episodes beginning Monday, January 12, Daniel is focused on something wholesome — preparing a birthday party for his son Bertie. But even this moment of joy becomes fuel for Will’s obsession.

Will watches from next door as Daniel and Megan carry cake and presents into the Barlow house. To Will, it looks like confirmation that Megan is slipping further away — and his resentment hardens.

Daniel later raises concerns about Will’s behaviour at school, forcing him to issue detention. What Daniel sees as discipline only deepens Will’s fury, especially when he becomes fixated on one question:

Did Megan stay over at Daniel’s flat?

Will confronts her angrily, desperate for reassurance and terrified of abandonment — the exact emotional vulnerability Megan has been exploiting all along.

Vandalism and a Warning Sign

Later in the week, tensions escalate again when Daniel borrows Ken Barlow’s car — only to discover it has been vandalised with a crude symbol sprayed across the side. The attack is humiliating, public, and loaded with malice.

Daniel is left horrified and confused. But the real motive remains hidden — for now.

Behind closed doors, Megan explodes at Will. Far from offering care or concern, she berates him for his “stupidity,” furious that his jealousy is drawing attention to their secret. Her priority isn’t Will’s wellbeing — it’s self-preservation.

Megan’s Control Begins to Slip

Our Corrie insiders suggest Megan is deeply rattled. She has managed this situation through manipulation and emotional control, but Will’s escalating behaviour is becoming unpredictable.

The last thing she wants is suspicion — especially with Daniel already questioning Will’s conduct. Every outburst increases the risk that the truth about their relationship could surface.

Will, meanwhile, is barely holding it together. His jealousy is no longer simmering — it’s combusting.

What Happens Next?

The looming question is no longer whether Will will lash out again — but who pays the price next.

Will Megan succeed in reasserting control, or has she finally created a situation she can’t manipulate her way out of?
Will Daniel start connecting the dots behind the vandalism and the earlier “mugging”?
And how long can Maggie keep covering for her grandson before the truth destroys them all?

One thing is certain: Coronation Street is building toward a reckoning where jealousy, secrecy, and exploitation collide — and when it breaks, the fallout will be devastating.
