Coronation Street viewers watched Megan Walsh’s future sealed on Friday (July 3) as she was handed a five-year prison sentence after being found guilty.
It was the outcome the Driscoll family had been hoping for after months of turmoil, but for Megan and her mum Janine, the courtroom verdict marked a devastating turning point.
With Megan now behind bars, fans are already wondering whether this was the last time they’ll see Beth Nixon on the cobbles.

Megan sentenced to five years in Coronation Street
The Driscoll family faced an emotional wait as Megan Walsh’s trial finally reached its conclusion. Will hoped the verdict would finally bring an end to the ordeal she had put him through.
Inside the courtroom, Will sat alongside his family, while Megan’s mum Janine anxiously awaited the jury’s decision.
After deliberating, the jury returned guilty verdicts on both charges. Megan was found guilty of inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, including doing so while in a position of trust.
The judge then sentenced Megan to five years in prison, although Maggie pointed out she could end up serving only half that time.
As officers led her away, Megan called Will a ‘liar’ before desperately begging Janine to help her. Holding back tears, Janine could only watch as her daughter pleaded with her to “do something” before being taken to her cell.
Later, Ollie urged Will to look ahead, with Megan now finally behind bars.
