đȘ Coronation Street Goodbye: Baddie Beth Nixon Shatters the Internet with Emotional Behind-the-Scenes Farewell!
The reign of terror is officially over on the cobbles, but the love for the woman behind the monster is reaching a fever pitch. Following the historical courtroom verdict that saw the monstrous Megan Walsh found guilty of sexually grooming her long-time victim, Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale), and hauled off to a prison cell, actress Beth Nixon has broken her silence to officially bid farewell to Weatherfield.
Megan Walsh will easily go down in television history as one of the most hideous, chilling villains to ever walk the street. Whether she was playing the sweet-talking school teacher and sports coach, or flipping the switch into a manipulative, Machiavellian sexual predator, Beth Nixon’s flawless performance had millions of viewers screaming at their TV sets praying for her ultimate downfall.
But while fans are thrilled to see Megan locked behind bars, the bitter consequence means losing one of the most talented young actresses on British television. Taking to Instagram, Beth uploaded a heart-melting carousel of 13 behind-the-scenes images to say goodbye, writing a hilariously blunt caption:
“Megan, youâre a cow and Iâll miss you like a hole in the head. Thank you, thank you, thank you to every single person at Coronation Streetâyouâve changed my life! Peace out âïžâš”

The post instantly triggered an avalanche of emotional tributes from her Corrie castmates, proving that while Megan was completely isolated on screen, Beth is deeply loved in real life:
-
Sydney Martin (Betsy Swain): “You are just incredible. Canât wait to watch you soar xxx”
-
Catherine Tyldesley (Eva Price): “We love you! Outstanding!!!!”
-
Olivia Frances-Brown (Jodie Ramsey): “SMASHED IT!!!”

Perhaps the most touching tribute came from her key on-screen rival, Jude Riordan, who plays the traumatized Sam Blakeman. Meganâs relentless psychological torment famously pushed young Sam completely over the edge into a devastating mental breakdown.
To show fans that their real-world relationship is a complete contrast to their toxic on-screen warfare, Jude posted a beautiful, candid photo of the two embracing on set after filming wrapped.
“FRIENDS REALLY!” Jude captioned his tribute warmly. “I really enjoyed working with Beth. Megan really tormented Sam and pushed him right over the edge, but shows what a great baddie she is!”
Moved by the gesture, Beth quickly replied to the young star: “Aww Jude, you can see the tears in my eyes here! I loved working with you and you are smashing this storyline, the nomination is so so well deservedâyou are a star!”
With fans and critics alike universally praising her for handling such a delicate, heavy-hitting storyline with absolute grace and powerhouse talent, Beth Nixonâs future outside of Weatherfield is looking incredibly bright. Best of luck, Beth!
