In the popular soap opera Coronation Street, the character Megan has caused quite a stir with her actions. But who is the actress portraying this villainous role?
Introduced to the ITV show last year, Beth plays the role of an athletics coach for young Will Driscoll, who recently moved to Weatherfield from Hull along with his family, including his father Ben, grandmother Maggie, and Ben’s girlfriend Eva Price, who returned to the street after a long absence.
It was later unveiled that Megan has been grooming 16-year-old Will in secret before his relocation. Megan also forms a romantic relationship with another teacher, Daniel Osborne.
Recently, the soap revealed a surprising twist in Megan’s storyline by confirming her pregnancy. With more twists and turns to come on the long-standing show, let’s delve into the life of newcomer Beth Nixon.
Beth, aged 25 and from York, pursued drama studies at the Arden School of Theatre in Manchester. Juggling work and her acting aspirations, Beth was managing a skin clinic when she auditioned for Coronation Street.
Upon learning she landed the role of Megan, Beth, who had worked as a waitress for a substantial period, was overwhelmed with emotion. She recounted the moment her agent broke the news to her, expressing gratitude for the opportunity that came at a pivotal time in her career.
Coronation Street marks Beth’s debut in television. Before her soap opera debut, she engaged in stage plays, radio voiceovers, and even featured in a McDonald’s advertisement in Switzerland alongside her former partner, an actor.
Beth almost secured a role on Coronation Street before portraying Megan, having auditioned for different characters. Her persistence paid off when she finally landed the role, while another actress was cast as the character she previously auditioned for.
