Coronation Street’s next ‘villain’ has been unveiled – but it doesn’t sound like they’ll be in Stephen Reid’s league so fans can breathe a sign of relief. A new ‘baddie’ is set to be seen on the cobbles soon as Sean Tully’s son Dylan returns to school.
The news hasn’t been confirmed by the ITV soap, however, the newcomer’s locally famous dad has revealed all. Hits Radio host Mike Toolan took to social media this week as he shared his pride at his son Luca bagging the role of a character named Mason.
He shared pictures of his son appearing to have a great time on the famous, Salford-based street with Dylan actor Liam McCheyne. The pair could be seen posing on the cobbles outside the iconic Roy’s Rolls while another snap showed them getting cosy with Liam Connor actor Charlie Wrenshall.
