Coronation Street fans demand bullying storyline is axed after humiliating fight
CORONATION Street fans are demanding the bullying storyline is axed after tonight’s humiliating fight.
The ITV soap is exploring the serious issue of teenage bullying with Liam Connor falling victim to thug Mason and his silent gang of back-up bullies.
In tonight’s episode Liam decided the only way to stand up for himself involved fighting the older and much bigger Mason.
However things didn’t exactly go to plan.
Instead of fighting Mason, Liam found himself scrapping with Dylan after being manipulated.
And he found himself hauled up by the headmistress for attacking Dylan – rather than what actually happened.
To make matters worse, Liam was then summoned to the police station by Craig Tinker to be interviewed for assault.
Dylan’s dad Sean, blissfully blind to his own son being a bully, reported Liam for the tiny scuffle.
He took great delight in grandstanding over his parenting decisions for the son he didn’t see for the best part of a decade.
And it’s just too much for fans.
They want the storyline axed completely.

Another added: “Once again #Corrie dragging out a storyline for drama rather than showing that bullying doesn’t win. Set an example!”
