New Villain Unleashed in Coronation Street: Meet Mason

Coronation Street fans, brace yourselves for the arrival of a new villain who will wreak havoc on the Cobbles - and he comes with a famous dad. The ITV soap has confirmed that Luca Toolan, 19, known as the bad boy Mason at Weatherfield High's Year 11, will be causing trouble for the children on the street.

A Familiar Face

In tonight's episode, viewers will get their first glimpse of Mason. He is introduced as one of the students who mocks Ruby Dobbs, the fire-starter and daughter of a serial killer. This sets him on a collision course with Hope Stape, who defends her sister.

The Dreadful Influence

The drama intensifies as Mason takes Dylan Wilson, played by Liam McCheyne, under his wing and selects Liam Connor as their new target. Will Dylan realize the danger of Mason's influence before it's too late?

Escalating Torment

Over the next few months, Mason's torment of Liam will escalate, not just pitting the pupils against each other but also causing conflict among the parents. Sean, Maria, and Gary will find themselves pointing the finger of blame at each other's sons.

A Dark Turn

Luka Toolan, whose famous dad is radio DJ Mike Toolan, has teased that the storyline will take a dark turn. He expressed his excitement but also acknowledged the pressure and responsibility to do justice to the role.

Luca won the part after submitting a self-tape and auditioning with co-star Charlie. He kept the news a secret until he got the role. On the day he received the good news, his dog sadly passed away. Despite the mix of emotions, Luka was thrilled about landing the role and immediately called his dad to share the news.
