This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.

Sean Tully (Antony Cotton) was left horrified in tonight’s episode when he learnt that new neighbours Lou and Mick Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty and Joe Layton) were the parents of Dylan Wilson’s (Liam McCheyne) mate Brody (Ryan Mulvey).

Brody took Liam under his wing when he first arrived at the STC, and has since threatened and attacked him to convince Sean to do his bidding.

However, Sean has since realised that he was in too deep, and ended up reporting Brody’s behaviour.

When Mick paid his son a visit in tonight’s episode, Brody protested his innocence, and Mick promised to deal with the problem – something that would end disastrously for Sean.

Meanwhile, during his shift at the pub, Sean over heard Lou telling Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) about her son, and soon realised that it was the same Brody who had been causing Dylan so much trouble.

When Gemma headed to the bar for a drink, Sean was quick to warn her about who her new friend really was.

Lou and Gemma headed home after their drink, where they were soon joined by Mick, who suspiciously demanded that Gemma and Lou tell anyone who asked that he’d been with them all afternoon.

It soon became clear what had happened, when Theo Silverton (James Cartwright) found Sean battered and bruised in the ginnel.

After being taken to hospital, Sean reported Mick for the attack, and he was soon taken in for questioning by PC Craig Tinker (Colson Smith).

When Gemma found out that it was Sean who had been assaulted, Gemma confronted Mick, insisting that she wasn’t going to lie about his alibi.

However, Mick soon showed his true colours as he turned nasty, grabbing Gemma by the arm and threatening the quads if she turned on him.

Terrified, Gemma rushed home where Lou was looking after the kids. When Gemma suggested that Mick may actually have been responsible for Sean’s attack, Lou was furious, and warned her to watch what she was saying.

Without Lou on her side, frightened Gemma confided in Sean that Mick had threatened her kids, and asked him if reporting the attack was the best thing to do.
