Coronation Street viewers were confused by a new character in tonight's show.
Wednesday's episode continued to explore the dark storyline as Max Turner continues to be groomed by a gang of extremists. The character, played by Paddy Bever, has fallen under the spell of the group's leader, Griff.
Griff has turned his attention to the impressionable young Max after he spotted he was being bullied. The character, played by Michael Condron, won Max's trust after he threatened the bullies and ordered them to stay away.
