The teen has been put through hell.
Liam Connor (Charlie Wrenshall) is to face police questioning this week, after a fight with Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) in tonight’s Coronation Street (22nd January 2024).
For months, Liam has been bullied by Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan), with Dylan then switching sides as he ditched Liam as a friend and allowed Mason to influence his behaviour.
After avoiding school, Liam was found out by mum Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon), who finally realised her son was being bullied.
His step-dad Gary Windass (Mikey North) offered Liam advice, saying the only thing bullies responded to was violence.
Although Gary took back his words, Liam was all geared up to meet Mason so he could get his stolen phone back.
Dylan urged Liam not to go to the meeting, but when he overheard Dylan telling Mason that Liam was a loser, Liam saw red and slammed Dylan into a wall, swinging a punch at him.
Mason found the whole thing hilarious, giving the phone back purely because of how amused he was by Liam’s attempt to fight back.
But when Mrs Crawshaw (Carla Mendonça) clocked the altercation, Mason claimed that Liam had attacked Dylan for no reason!
Unaware of Liam’s torment, Mrs Crawshaw called Liam and Dylan to her office, and Liam told her that Mason’s account was the truth.
With both boys brought home from school, Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) was angry that son Dylan had apparently been targeted, while George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) was not convinced by this version of events.
Meanwhile, Maria was stunned that her boy would resort to violence – until Gary admitted his earlier words of ‘wisdom’.
Maria was fuming, but the couple’s discussion was interrupted when police officer Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) arrived to inform them that Liam had to be accompanied to the police station for questioning the following day. Will Liam be arrested?
