Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) received his marching orders on Wednesday's Coronation Street after he admitted to his son Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) that he knew Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths) was Harvey Gaskell's (Will Mellor) brother.
After a terrifying gun siege earlier in the week, Damon was arrested after being set-up by Nick, who had been blackmailed by the criminal to run drugs through the Viaduct Bistro.
Nick was relived his family were no longer in danger but the youngster couldn't see past his father's betrayal and asked him to leave their home after discovering that he had been lied to for some time.
