Annoyed Coronation Street fans all have the same complaint over killer new story
It was confirmed last night that Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) will escape prison next week and go in search of his children Brody (Ryan Mulvey), Joanie and Shanice.
Mick was put behind bars earlier this year after he murdered Craig Tinker (Colson Smith). The crazed character attacked Craig with a cricket bat after learning that Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) is actually Brody's biological father.
In an episode that airs at the start of next week, Mick will leave prison and make his way to Weatherfield High, searching for Joanie.
He then learns she isn't there, as Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) has taken her out of school. To keep Joanie occupied, Sally decides to take her for a tour at Underworld.
Mick changes his route and heads for the cobbles instead. He is closely followed by Kit though, who is determined to prevent Mick from putting other residents in danger.
The trailer released last night certainly looks exciting and packed full of drama, but fans of the ITV soap have unfortunately reacted with negativity.
Over on our Metro Soaps Facebook page, plenty of readers have called the plot 'ridiculous' and argued it's 'more doom and gloom'.
Reader Stephen Price said 'Change the record', while Karen James said that the show is 'getting dark to watch'.
On social media platform X, the same view is noted. Audience members have also pointed out that Mick's escape plan comes just months after Rob Donovan (Marc Bayliss) did the exact same thing.
'How can Rob AND Mick escape from the same prison only months apart?', this user of X wrote. More Trending
Echoing the opinion, this audience member said: 'Oh come on. That's the second character to break out of prison this year.

Let's not forget yet another prison break storyline that's aired in recent years, which saw Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) return to the cobbles in search of revenge on Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson).

Kym Marsh, 49, seemingly hits back at resurfaced Hear'Say 'fat-shaming' clip as she flashes her abs in a black sports bra while posing for a sizzling mirror selfie
Kym Marsh has seemingly hit back at a viral 'fat-shaming' clip from her Hear'Say heyday as she flashed her abs in a mirror selfie on Instagram on Tuesday. In the resurfaced 2002 clip, the singer, 49, was seen being ordered to ' lose weight ' by judge Nigel Lythgoe - who earned the nickname 'Nasty Nigel' for his scathing behaviour on pioneering ITV talent show Popstars. Now, taking to social media, Kym showed off her sizzling figure as she posed for a new selfie. The star turned heads as she flaunted her toned physique in a black sports bra and leggings. 'Building a better me,' she penned on top of the snap. It comes after her former bandmate Myleene Klass, 47, took to Instagram to lash out at comments made by judge Nigel on the ITV show. In the resurfaced 2002 clip, the singer, 49, was seen being ordered to ' lose weight ' by judge Nigel Lythgoe - who earned the nickname 'Nasty Nigel' for his scathing behaviour on pioneering ITV talent show Popstars During their time on the show, Nigel criticised Kym's looks and instructed her to 'lose some weight' as he quizzed her over her diet and fitness during the formation of Hear'Say, their band which ran from 2001 to 2002. In the clip, Kym asked, 'Do you think I'm fat?', to which Nigel replied, 'I think you've put weight on over Christmas, are you exercising, is the diet right?' Kym replied: 'I've just started it today', prompting Nigel to add, 'You need to lose some weight you're going on show six weeks from now, six weeks.' Myleene has reshared the video to her Instagram Stories and said being fat-shamed was a 'daily' occurrence, while stylists would remove sizes from clothes to hide 'the shame' of having double-digit sizes. She wrote: 'Yes Daily. Stylist often cut the sizes out of some bands outfits to hide the 'shame' of 'double digits'. 'My Hear'say diaries are FULL of this s***. The boys were also shamed. Remember, TFI Friday had scales on set.' Kym has been open about her struggles with self-image in the past, saying she became bulimic after she started comparing herself to smaller girls while at stage school when she was younger. Nigel previously defended his comments about Kym on the show, saying: '[She's] looking fabulous now, acting brilliantly, and she's made a huge career for herself.' Hear'Say formed on ITV show Popstars in 2001 and found success with their number one hit Pure and Simple. Their first album Popstars, was a huge hit but their success quickly dwindled by the time they released their second album Everybody. They split up in October 2002, less than two years after being put together on Popstars and cited 'abuse from the public' at the time as the primary reason behind the breakup. Speaking last year, about what pressures she felt as a young person in the spotlight, Myleene told Loose Women viewers their management would 'control how much we were eating' as they were scared they would become 'fat'. She said: 'I mean the scrutiny for a start. My daughter is 17 and if I look at one of my band members Suzie she was 18, so that's one year away. 'I think if someone put my daughter through that level of scrutiny or pressure...' Although she admitted that things have got a lot better since then, Myleene went on to add: 'Some of the experiences that we went through we were in no way equipped for it. 'We were just five kids in a room at the end of the day - not unlike these five kids in a room and that's all you have.'

Walking Dead star makes UK TV return after a decade and fans are beside themselves
Andrew Lincoln best known for his role as Rick Grimes in the hit show The Walking Dead is returning to UK TV for the first time in over a decade as she stars in ITV's latest series Coldwater ITV has revealed the first glimpse of its upcoming thriller, Coldwater, which is set to premiere this autumn. The six-part series, which is set in Scotland, will see The Walking Dead star Andrew Lincoln star in his first UK TV show in over a decade. The series, written and produced by David Ireland, was filmed in Glasgow and is set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater. Filming for the show took place in July 2024 around Glasgow in the areas of Dennison and the city centre, as well as in Strathaven and Dunlop. While Doctor Who director Lee Haven Jones directs the first three episodes, Andrew Cumming, best known for directing Shetland, directs the second half of the series. And it's predicted to be one not to miss. The series follows Lincoln's character John, a repressed man who grows frustrated with his mundane existence as a stay at home dad. After witnessing a violent confrontation in a local playground, which he fails to intervene, John relocates his whole family from London as far as possible, up to the rural idyll of Coldwater. Amidst his mid-life crisis, John quickly befriends his mysterious next door neighbour Tommy, played by Ewen Bremner. A friendly, charming man who is well loved in Coldwater, he is a pillar of the community and self appointed leader of the village's all-male book group. Tommy is also married to the local vicar Rebecca, played by Eve Myles. Whilst John is totally fascinated by Tommy, his wife Fiona (Indira Varma) is completely unsettled by him. As Fiona strives to reignite the spark back into their fading marriage, she is wary of John and Tommy's bond, as it is increasingly becoming intense. Fiona's suspicions are correct, when John's long-repressed rage comes to head with disastrous results and he soon finds himself unexpectedly indebted to his new friend, unaware that Tommy himself is harbouring horrifying secrets. As Tommy's mask starts to slip, his shock secrets come to the surface and John begins to wonder who the real Tommy actually is. The official synopsis reads: "This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous." The series is already gathering hype online with fans taking to various social media platforms to discuss the show, in particular Lincoln's role. Taking to Facebook, one excited viewer commented: "Andy Lincoln, thriller series and Scotland…all my dreams have come true." As another plead: "Coming this Autumn?? Can we not have it earlier please!!!" A third fan couldn't hide their joy of seeing Lincoln back on screen, saying: "Fabulous news, he's a great actor, miss not seeing him on anything. I'm so excited." Other fans were eager to see Scotland on their TV screens, as one expressed: "Looking forward to seeing this, some of the Church scenes were filmed in Dunlop Church." Coldwater will air on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV player this autumn.
