Coronation Street's Max Turner made a reappearance on screens on last night's episode of the ITV show, leading fans to reach a conclusion on what his latest antics mean for his future.
Max has been out of the limelight on Coronation Street after being detained for his far-right activities.
Last night (Friday 5th May, 2023), Max, played by Paddy Beaver, made a return to the cobbles and appeared in a scene with David Platt, where they were discussing the possibility that his sentence may be shortened.
Later at a class where Max was encouraged to discuss his feelings in a journal. Instead of taking the class seriously, he mocked Daniel Osbourne and then later proceeded to take his phone when Daniel left the room - much to the dismay of viewers.
'Bet max will be texting daisy pretending to be daniel,' said one Corrie fan.

And a third wrote, 'Seriously, what is wrong with Max? Daniel shows him nothing but kindness, and yet Max treats him like rubbish. Now he's stealing his phone! Max should realise who his friends are.'

Other Corrie fans had some strong words on Max’s return - and not all of them were pleased to see him back.
With another writing, 'Really hoped during his absence “Max” would have got some acting lessons. Sadly not.'
