Coronation Street fans were left gobsmacked as the identity of Mason Radcliffe’s attacker finally came to light in the ITV soap.

The attacker of Coronation Street’s Mason Radcliffe has been revealed, amid his return to the cobbles.

The soap bully, played by Luca Toolan, first rocked up last year – and caused plenty of drama. Viewers of the soap were left horrified as they watched him terrorise Maria Connor’s (Samia Longchambon) young son, Liam Connor (Charlie Wrenshall).

After months of bullying his fellow students, Mason built quite a reputation for himself both inside and outside of the school grounds. And things took a dramatic turn on the ITV soap when Mason pulled a knife on Liam.

Things got so bad for Liam though, that he thought about taking his own life. However, in April, Mason was sent to a Young Offenders centre for threatening Liam with the knife.

During the trial at court, Dylan bravely stood up to Mason, testifying against him. But over in the soap this week, the soap bully was back on the cobbles, after getting released from the Young Offenders centre.

During Monday’s episode (July 20) Stu (Bill Fellows) is shocked to find a bloody and battered Mason near the precinct. Stu, who had no idea who was Mason was and his history, quizzed the bully on what had happened to him.
