Coronation Street‘s Sean Tully bravely defies Mick Michaelis’s threats next week as fears grow over the villain’s relationship with wife Lou.
Sean vows to expose the truth about his recent attack when it’s clear that Mick’s ongoing freedom is putting others at risk.
The drama unfolds as Kit Green taunts his old friend Mick over his secret past with Lou.
Show bosses have revealed that Kit could be the biological father of Mick and Lou’s teenage son Brody. This twist will play out on screen over the next few days.
In upcoming scenes, Kit’s mum Bernie finds Brody shoplifting following his release from the Secure Training Centre.
Kit pursues Brody to make him pay, sparking fresh tensions between him and Mick. As things turn heated, Kit mocks Mick about Lou not being as loyal as he likes to think.
Later, Lou suddenly goes out of contact with everyone, leaving Sean and Gemma Winter-Brown panicking about what Mick may have done to her.
Sean heads straight to the station, wanting to change his previous statement to clarify that Mick was the one who assaulted him a few weeks ago. Will Sean go through with it – and will Mick finally be brought to justice over the crime?
Meanwhile, Lou dabs at a suspicious head wound, urging Mick to come home and talk. Mick seems to have other ideas as he speeds off in his van, consumed with thoughts of revenge against Kit…
Joe Layton, who plays Mick, recently spoke to us about his character’s nasty incident with Sean.
“Mick has got this moral compass of his own. The reason he went for Sean is because Sean was badmouthing Brody,” Joe explained.
“If that jeopardises his son’s release from the STC, then he’s going to do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of that.
“If Mick could go back in time and change what happened between him and Kit, which we’ll see in the flashback, he would. That could have changed an awful lot for this man’s life. I don’t feel sorry for him because he does really dreadful things, but as we go through the story, there’s more shade to it.”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday 19 May on ITV1 and ITVX.
