Coronation Street fans ‘complain to Ofcom' as they struggle to watch ‘inappropriate' and ‘too violent' scenes
CORONATION Street fans have vowed to complain to Ofcom over scenes they claim are 'inappropriate' and 'too violent'. The ITV soap said goodbye this week to killer villain Mick Michaelis in a shocking storyline. 2 2 Killer Mick broke out of prison, intent on taking revenge on police officer and his former best mate Kit Green. He beat Kit up, leaving him fighting for his life in hospital. And then while hunting his children down in an attempt to flee, he threatened Sally Metcalfe as she tried to talk him down. The grim scenes however have left some fans feeling like they want to complain. One wrote: 'Those scenes with Mick are just not appropriate for a soap IMO. 'It was sickening to watch Mick always grab a tool of some kind and violently beat someone. 'Same with Lou. I had to put the sound down and fast forward because I don't get any entertainment from brutality.' A second said: 'This show is more violent and full of misery than most crime thrillers.' Another added: 'Can't forget about Mason too but to be honest the worst one was Rob beating Lisa up in the car, I thought that one was sickening to watch.' A fourth commented: 'I thought the blood shot with it dripping through the metal grated floor a bit much for a soap. 'Like something out of a slasher movie.' The storyline has led to the exit of actor Joe Layton as he finished his planned stint as Mick on the show.

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 prison break as Mick Michaelis ESCAPES and launches desperate bid to reunite with family - with a life left hanging in the balance
Coronation Street 's Mick Michaelis escapes from prison and launches a desperate bid to reunite with family - with potentially deadly consequences. In upcoming shocking scenes of the ITV soap, the crook - played by actor Joe Layton - returns to the Cobbles in a bid to be with his kids Joanie, Shanice, and Brody again. As viewers will know, Mick was sent to prison after being arrested and charged for the death of the much-loved character PC Craig Tinker (Colson Smith). The police officer originally responded to a domestic which was called by Mick's wife Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty), but she told him to go away. But Craig later found Mick and the builder attacked him after finding out that his wife had an affair with Craig'sboss Kit Green (Jacob Roberts). Mick was sent to jail for his crime, but fans will see him break out of jail to be with his family again. He ends up going to Weatherfield High to see if he can catch his kids, but soon heads to Coronation Street after realising that Sally (Sally Dynevor) took her home from school. Little does Sally know that Joanie's evil dad isn't far behind them. Speaking ahead of the episode, actor Joe said: 'He isn't after revenge, this is about him wanting to get his family together and start a new life with them. 'The anger that we saw when he killed Craig has been replaced by desperation and love for his family, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous. 'Kit is potentially putting his life on the line once more in his attempts to stop Mick.' Mick first appeared on Corrie back in February 2025. He moved in with his wife and family at 12 Mawdsley Street. Since then he has appeared in 53 episodes. Back in Match Joe revealed he was leaving his role on the ITV hit soap. It was revealed that Joe's stint was always planned to be temporary after he originally joined on a fixed contract for a special storyline, with no 'shock' exit planned. An insider has since told The Mirror that Mick's character will remain on screen until late July, with the soap source teasing there was 'lots more to come'. Corrie's Mick and wife Lou have caused quite a stir on the Cobbles with their arrival as they quickly made friends with Chesney and Gemma. After landing the role, Joe explained that it was a dream come true to join the ITV show. He said: 'Coronation Street is such an institute in British television and to get to walk down the cobbles in Mick's shoes is so exciting. 'To also do it alongside Farrel is awesome - we are having great fun together and connecting really well whilst developing our characters. 'It also gives the opportunity to get a look behind the curtain of this huge machine and be a small cog within the big picture of Coronation Street and to work alongside people who take such pride in their work. 'It's just a really happy place, friendly and welcoming. I'm going to relish every moment of it.' Previously discussing his villain role, Joe explained that he was very excited to be portraying an 'interesting' character. He added: 'I really enjoy playing what people would refer to as a baddie or a villain, because for me the most interesting thing is all how we move past the first initial judgement of them, especially when you're going to be playing them. 'It's really interesting because when you're playing a character, a part of you has got to love them and empathize with them and understand them. 'I always think 'how do I get into this character's shoes and why is it the way he is and why does he do the things that he does?' So I always find it really rewarding and a real kind of privilege to any character, but especially the psychologically complex characters. 'Working with Sam and Dolly-Rose has been amazing, like I said, everyone at Corrie is so welcoming and the Winter-Browns are an iconic family!'
