Next week, Mason Radcliffe of Coronation Street will return to the cobbles following the revelation of the facts surrounding the recent Speed Daal theft.
Mason, fresh off his most recent time in Young Offenders, sets off an enraged confrontation in an attempt to settle some scores.
Betsy Swain lost it last month after Mason repeatedly turned her down romantically.
At Speed Daal, the unruly adolescent exacted her revenge by hiding a customer’s pocketbook inside Mason’s jacket.
Mason was mortified as he realised that Betsy had set him up, but nobody believed his protestations of innocence. As Mason was still on parole following the knife crime incident with Liam Connor, he was sent straight back to Young Offenders to serve further time.
Next week, Dylan Wilson urges Betsy to come clean about who was really to blame for the purse incident.
When Betsy refuses, Dylan takes matters into his own hands by telling his dad Sean Tully the truth.
Later in the week, Betsy, Dylan and Liam all meet up to discuss the news that Mason is being released.
Sure enough, Mason soon arrives to confront his enemies. Fortunately, Liam wastes no time before tipping off his stepdad Gary Windass, who breaks up the row by grabbing Mason.
Stu Carpenter is also quick on the scene and he shows where his loyalties lie by pulling Gary off Mason.
Feeling terrible over how things went last month, Stu apologises to Mason for not believing him and offers him his job back.
Later in the week, there are signs of further trouble for Mason when he turns up for work at Speed Daal with a black eye. He claims that he hit his head in an accident.
That evening, Mason sneaks back into the restaurant once it’s closed and pulls out his sleeping bag, needing somewhere to stay. Will Stu and Yasmeen find out how much he’s still struggling?
