Craig Tinker (Colson Smith)’s killer Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) is a man on a mission in upcoming Coronation Street episodes, as he hatches a plan to break out of jail and go on the run with his family.
When Mick gets reports that, back on the cobbles, his family is falling apart he decides he has to do something.
We’ve seen a struggling Lou (Farrel Hegarty) taking increasingly desperate measures to get cash. Meanwhile Brody (Ryan Mulvey) is struggling after having recently discovered that his biological father is Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and not Mick, who brought him up.
And Brody’s sisters Shanice (Molly Kilduff) and Joanie (Savanna Pennington) are increasingly being cared for by Sally and Tim Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine), as Lou is failing to cope.

So Mick comes up with a plan to get his family back together again and enlists Brody’s help.
‘He feels like it’s the one thing he can do,’ Ryan Mulvey told us. ‘He’s promised his mum, he’s promised his dad that looking after the family is now his job and that’s why he’s doing everything to keep them together. He feels like that’s his duty as a brother, his duty as a man, to keep them together. He has got morals and he does know it’s wrong, but he’ll definitely blindside that to try keep his family together and keep his loved ones close.’
Brody’s part of the plan is to get Shanice and Joanie from the Metcalfes, but when he gets there Sally tells him that Tim has taken Joanie to an open day at Weatherfield High.

As a determined Mick heads to the school to find his daughter, she’s actually on her way back home with Sally after getting upset by some comments made by the other kids about her dad.
Lou is questioned by the police about Mick’s prison escape but she denies all knowledge. Meanwhile the pupils of Weatherfield High are terrified when Mick turns up and demands that Joanie should be handed over.
He’s fuming to realise his daughter isn’t there and heads off, not before locking Mrs Crawshaw (Carla Mendonça) and Daniel (Rob Mallard) in an office as the terrified kids run for cover.
Back in Coronation Street there’s a violent altercation between Mick and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), who has tried to stop him getting access to Joanie, who’s in the factory with Sally. Kit is left fighting for his life as Mick makes an escape.
Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) keeps watch
