Coronation Street airs tragic Sam Blakeman scenes and psychosis fears in early ITVX release ...Middle East

With his hallucinations worsening, Sam Blakeman's (Jude Riordan) family have finally realised that he needs medical help in Coronation Street.

The teenager's mental health is suffering, as a result of blackmail attempts from vile groomer Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) and her victim Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale).

The two engaged in secret relationship, and were determined to prevent Sam from speaking out about her abuse. Sam desperately attempted to find evidence that would support his claims, even planting a hidden camera in her flat – but was knocked back as vicious Megan threatened to expose him as a voyeur.

In the aftermath, he became hooked on ADHD medication to manage his stress levels, and collapsed in the street.

He finally addressed his fears, but that didn't end his turmoil. He began to envision Will threatening to kill him, and in more recent weeks, has seen multiple versions of his best pal Roy Cropper (David Neilson).

The fake Roy has made Sam believe that he can't trust anyone around him, and in today's episode, he reached breaking point.

Walking down the street, he zoned out following a conversation with Chesney Winter-Brown (Sam Aston), and heard Roy's voice echoing through his head. He felt compelled to head to the Rovers Return to meet with Will, who was playing a shooting game on his console.

'Roy' warned that Will was going to try and kill him too, and he darted out to the safety of the cafe.

While in there, the real Roy found Sam in a state of distress. He urged him to unlock the door and speak to dad Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) and stepmums Toyah (Georgia Taylor) and Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson), but Sam was spooked by the sight of two versions of Roy, and didn't know who to believe.

The trio of parents were alerted to the unfolding situation and cried out for Sam to accept help. Unfortunately, he listened to the imaginary Roy's orders, and threw a chair across the room towards the real Roy.

By the time the group managed to gain access to the cafe, Sam had run off again and Roy was injured on the floor.

Carla Connor-Swain (Alison King) then found him on a bench in the precinct, and could see that he was terrified. She tried to comfort him while quietly contacting Nick.

When Sam caught sight of his dad approaching, he tried to escape and was wrestled to the ground. Carla explained that the situation reminded her of her own psychosis, and that he should be taken to hospital.

Nick was devastated to realise the full extent of his son's mental health episode, and had to try and reassure him that they were in fact going home.

An exhausted Sam fell asleep in the car, and when he awoke, was horrified to see that they'd arrived at Weatherfield General.

Will Sam get the help he needs?
