Fans of Coronation Street believe someone is out to get Sam Blakeman, but it’s not Will Driscoll.
Sam has accused Will of tormenting him with threats, menacing behaviour and a sinister phone call. He’s sparked concern about his mental health, with him clearly spiralling after recent stress.
Teen Sam had exposed athletics coach Megan Walsh for grooming her student Will for sex. She’s denied the entire thing, as has Will, but Will’s family know Sam is telling the truth.
Megan had been threatening Sam before he revealed all, and this along with his exam stress has sent him spiralling. This week we’ve seen him panicked, avoiding Will after Will appeared to threaten him over the phone, before charging at him in the street.

Viewers are wondering if most of it is in Sam’s head though, and he could be set for a worrying mental health storyline. But one scene left fans wondering if someone was targeting him.
They do not think it’s Will though, and believe Sam’s conviction that Will is out to get him has left him paranoid, and suffering from hallucinations. As for the phone call, fans do think someone called him, but maybe faked Will’s voice.
The suggestion is that it was Megan, wanting to get back at Sam for exposing her. They wonder if she is using an AI app to mimic Will’s voice to get to Sam, while some viewers also wondered if Hope Stape, who Sam has confided in, is pranking Sam in the same way.
One viewer said: “If it turns out the teacher is using an AI voice changer I will officially stop watching.” Another fan wrote: “I bet Megan called and used a AI program to sound like Will.
“She’s probably doing it to keep Sam scared and full on have a mental health crisis.” A third viewer said: “I don’t think it was him, the voice seems very strange, like robotic, could have it been AI or something like that?
“That was so strange.” A further post read: “It could’ve been AI,” as another said: “Wasn’t Megan messing with AI voices in an earlier episode or have I dreamt it?”
As for Hope, one fan suggested: “I think Hope has something to do with it I think she’s messing with his head with the calls and making him more paranoid.”
