Coronation Street‘s Dylan Wilson fears for his safety next week as Mason Radcliffe’s return
storyline continues.
Dylan receives an ominous threat as newcomer Betsy Swain takes it upon herself to back up Mason
following his reappearance in Weatherfield.
Mason has been released from Young Offenders after being locked away for threatening Liam Connor with a knife. He still holds a grudge against Dylan for testifying against him in court.
Next week, Stu Carpenter is concerned to spot Mason and Betsy stealing food in the local area.

Mason explains his actions by revealing that he’s homeless. Stu kindly offers him a place to stay at No.6, but Mason is unimpressed and rudely refuses to accept any charity from him.
Later in the week, Stu changes tactics by offering Mason a job as a pot washer at Speed Daal.
This sparks a backlash from some of the Weatherfield residents – including Liam’s stepdad Gary Windass, who makes his disapproval very clear.

Liam McCheyne, who plays Dylan, recently told Digital Spy: “Obviously Dylan is on high alert. He’s very worried for himself, he’s very worried for his dad.
“He’s in a twist [about it], but whether Mason’s going to be a bad lad or he’s going to try and turn it around, who knows?”
He continued: “All I can say is we really want to focus on the relationship between Dylan and Sean. Where Mason’s going to tie in with that, there’s exciting things to come. Watch this space.”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, August 5, Wednesday, August 7 and Friday, August 9.
