Commenting to a fan who said: "I swear to god that better be Mick's last scene. #Corrie," the soap star replied: "Affirmative. Loved my time on the cobbles!" The actor's final scenes played out after a failed prison break that saw Mick banged up for good. In Wednesday's episode he made one final appearance from prison to speak to son Brody. Brody told his dad he would get the girls and they'd move to be near whatever prison he ended up. But in a chilling scene, Mick turned on Brody and disowned him. 'You finished? Because I'll be honest lad, all I hear is a lot of whining. You seriously think I want to see you again after all of this? 'And don't you dad me. Don't you dare call me that ever again. Ever again, do you hear me? I'm not your dad and I never was. 'You think I want to see you? Have you come visit me? Don't make me laugh. You or the girls. Or your mum. Any of you. 'But especially you Brody because the others, at least they're family but you are nothing to me. Coronation Street quietly recast show legend's daughter - just weeks after original star 'disappeared' from soap 'The one good thing to come from this is not having you as a son anymore. You're his, and that disgusts me. You disgust me and I…' Mick put the phone down, hid it under his bed as the guards opened the door to him. Head in his hands, that was Mick's final appearance on Coronation Street.

Coronation Street Mick star leaves fans stunned with real voice 'wasn't expecting that'
Coronation Street's Mick Michaelis star Joe Layton appeared on Wednesday's This Morning Coronation Street fans were left stunned over Mick Michaelis star Joe Layton's real voice on Wednesday's This Morning. The actor appeared on the ITV chat show to talk about his recent storyline involving Mick, which concluded this week. Soap watchers will recall that it's been an explosive few months for Joe's character Mick. Earlier this year, after discovering that enemy Kit Green was his son Brody's biological father, Mick went out in search of revenge. However, it was poor PC Craig Tinker who received Mick's wrath and as the police officer pulled Mick over for speeding, as well as drink-driving, he attacked him with a baseball bat. Craig later died of his injuries in hospital and Mick, after holding Kit and the latter's mother Bernie Winter hostage, was eventually arrested. However, in scenes this week, Mick managed to escape from prison as he attempted to go on the run with his family. Yet, in true soap style, his plan backfired and after a showdown with Kit on the cobbles, where he stabbed him, Mick was arrested once again. Talking about the explosive scenes on Wednesday's This Morning, viewers were left stunned over Mick actor Joe's real voice. Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: "WOW Joe Layton sounds so different in real life to his character Mick Michaelis. #Corrie #ThisMorning", a different account put: "How posh is real life mick great actor #thismorning" while another added: "Oh isn't he posh #thismorning." Elsewhere, a different viewer commented: "Wow he's posh! #thismorning", another account put: "Chuffing 'eck! Joe Layton speaks dead posh! #Corrie #ThisMorning", a different viewer said: "Not the real voice I was expecting to come out of Corrie's Mick's mouth. #ThisMorning #corrie #coronationstreet" while another added: "How posh and clean cut is real life Mick? #thismorning." Talking about what's next for him after Coronation Street, Joe said he's involved in a touring UK production of Lost Atoms, which is written by Anna Jordan, whose credits include Succession and Killing Eve, and directed by Scott Graham. A synopsis for the play reads: "Lost Atoms tells the story of a relationship: an extraordinary, transformative love. Or is that only in hindsight? Perhaps it was just typical? Or toxic? Or doomed from the start? One thing's for sure: It changed their lives. "Two people plunge deep into their shared pasts and propel themselves into multiple imagined futures. At times hilarious, at times devastating, Lost Atoms explores how memory impacts the way we look at love, and asks what makes a truly 'successful' relationship?" Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITV X from 7am.
