ITV Coronation Street fans grow frustrated as they're left baffled by Spider Nugent's role in extremist gang

Coronation Street fans have made their feelings clear about its current major storyline. Last month it was revealed by the ITV soap that Max Turner would find himself being groomed into joining an extremist gang and ultimately putting his own life and that of his friends and family in danger.

It started when Peter Barlow confronted eco-activist Griff and his mates when he discovered the band they have invited him to see are playing racist songs. Toyah Habeeb also tackles Spider Nugent about the company he is keeping, unaware that he is an undercover cop who has infiltrated the gang to expose their activity.
