Coronation Street fans have been left completely baffled after watching Max Turner get caught up in a bomb horror. As viewers of the ITV soap know, the teen is completely oblivious that he's being groomed by eco-warrior Griff into joining his extremist gang.
It started when Griff, played by Michael Condron, spotted Max being the victim of persistent school bullies and at the time, Max was also mad at his family for accusing him of being Maria Windass' troll and turning him in to the police.
Things have since escalated, with Griff targeting Alya Nazir and her new Speed Daal waiter Daryan and clashing with councilor Maria Windass over her refugee project while also roping Max in to help with their propaganda videos but buying him a new top-quality laptop for all his editing.
