A Coronation Street character is declared dead in upcoming scenes – by her own son.

Ever since his arrival on the cobbles, Brody Michaelis (Ryan Mulvey) has caused nothing but trouble for his neighbours, and his mother, Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty).

Brody’s behaviour got even more erratic after dad Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) was arrested for Craig Tinker’s murder, and convinced Brody that he had been set up.

He instantly suspected Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and took his anger out on him by trashing his flat.

The relationship between Kit and Brody has been a difficult one, and it only got worse in recent episodes when Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) revealed that Kit was Brody’s biological father.

Brody was horrified to learn that she had taken his DNA to do a test, after learning that Kit had slept with Lou 16 years ago.

Lou was understandably furious that Brody had been told the truth, and Brody didn’t exactly take the news well either.

In upcoming scenes, Bernie urges Brody to make amends with Lou, but he refuses, insisting she is dead to him.

With Brody currently living under Bernie’s roof, she comes up with a plan to try and repair his relationship with his mum.

Dragging Lou round, Bernie implores Brody to hear her out.
