Coronation Street Soap Scoop! Will’s major turning point
Coronation Street aired a mysterious cliffhanger tonight, as an unknown character appeared to be robbing The Rovers Return. But who was behind the surprise theft and why did they target the pub?
This week’s instalment of the ITV soap ended with Eva Price’s young daughter Susie coming down the stairs of The Rovers, where she and the Driscoll family live. As she reached the ground floor, she noticed someone rummaging around in the back room, and slowly crept in for a closer look.
While Susie appeared to have identified the thief, viewers simply saw her shocked expression. But upcoming episodes reveal that it was Will Driscoll who was taking money from the safe, which landlord Ben had accidentally left open earlier that day.
How will Susie react to the theft, and will the teen be able to keep her quiet?

In tonight’s scenes, Will finally agreed to go and stay with his mum, just to get a break from the teasing at school. However, viewers will soon learn about his real plan to run away to France with groomer Megan Walsh, using the £2,000 he stole from the safe.
In next week’s episodes, Will packs his bags and waves goodbye to his family in Weatherfield, who believe he is making his way to Scotland. He jumps in a taxi, driven by Tim Metcalfe, and heads to the train station.
On the way, Tim discovers the train to Glasgow has been cancelled, and when Will insists on continuing to the station, his suspicions are raised. He gently encourages Will to open up by sharing his own experiences as a victim of grooming.

Coronation Street is set to have another mystery on its hands with a thief at large when the Rovers Return safe is robbed. The cobbles will be covered in police tape following Carla Connor and Lisa Swain’s wedding when a body is found.
But that’s not the only crime that is set to occur in the soap, with a mysterious person found rummaging in the safe when it is accidentally left open.
Upcoming scenes will see Ben Driscoll suggest to his son Will that he go and live with his mother for a while after everything that has happened to him recently. To Ben’s surprise, Will agrees to go the next day.
In the Rovers, Ben takes some cash out of the safe, but at the same time, Sean Tully tries to offer him some parenting advice.
It distracts Ben from the task at hand, so when he walks out of the room, he accidentally leaves the safe door open.
Eva Price’s daughter Susie heads downstairs and is shocked to find someone rummaging in the safe. Who could be helping themselves to the pub’s earnings, and how will it impact Ben?
“After everything the Driscolls have been through with Will recently, a mystery theft is the last thing they need,” warns our Corrie source.
“Ben and Eva are trying their best to concentrate on Will and what’s best for him after everything that happened with Megan.
“Susie is sure to be the top witness who can explain what’s going on – but will she speak up about what she’s seen, or will she keep quiet out of fear?”
