Here’s our first look at the Coronation Street family reunion from hell, as bad boy Brody Michaelis catches up with his parents Mick and Lou.
Brody’s time in the Secure Training Centre is about to come to an end, which could be bad news for the residents of Weatherfield.
The troublesome teen has been serving time alongside Sean Tully’s son Dylan Wilson, making his life a misery.
Next week, it’s all change as Brody gets his freedom again – and top of the agenda is getting to know his new home…
“Once Brody is out, the trio head to Speed Daal for a meal to celebrate. But if the local residents thought that living alongside two members of the Michaelis family was bad enough, how will they cope with three?”
One person who surely won’t be happy to see Brody is Sean. Brody repeatedly blackmailed Sean earlier this year, threatening Dylan’s safety in the STC if he didn’t cooperate.
When Sean tried to do the right thing by reporting Brody’s nasty games to the bosses at the STC, Mick retaliated by brutally beating up his neighbour.
Brody’s release airs during next week’s special episode exploring the secret backstory between Mick, Lou and local detective Kit Green.
Corrie bosses have confirmed a huge twist on the cards, as Kit finds out that Brody could be his biological son rather than Mick’s.
Jacob Roberts, who plays Kit, recently told us: “Kit would know that Brody has just come out of the STC and I don’t think you can change a lad – the damage has already been done. He thinks Mick is Brody’s dad and Kit has got nothing to do with this kid.
“It would come as a shock to Kit and he’d certainly be upset or angry that Lou never told him he had a child. He’s not ready for a kid, we’ve seen that he’s not ready for a baby, so how can he be ready for a 16-year-old lad who’s already learnt from his dad Mick?”
Asked whether this could bring Kit closer to his estranged mum Bernie, Jacob replied: “Bernie’s probably the best person to speak to about it, because again, Kit has got no-one else to talk to. That’s what you will see – it’s little subtle hints that Kit needs Bernie there while he’s talking to Brody. He’ll need Bernie on his side because he’s questioning if he’s doing the right thing, and if he’s feeling the right emotions.
“But I do think Bernie might get a bit too involved in it as well!”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Friday 16 May on ITV1 and ITVX.
