A theory is circulating: the Hope trolling and Will grooming storylines are actually linked!

Viewers have discovered that the anonymous messages Hope receives begin at the same time Will disappears after training with Megan.

Many fans believe Megan or someone in her group is using a fake account to manipulate both children.

Another detail – Hope stumbles upon messages with the same phrases and emojis Megan uses – raises further suspicions.

If this theory is correct, the crossover episode will be an emotional storm: Hope discovers a secret, Will collapses with guilt, Megan is revealed, and one adult in Weatherfield may pay with his life.

A perfect blend of psychology, crime, and tragedy.
