Coronation Street fans expressed concern that Max Turner could be set for a racism storyline after he was told he couldn't have a place back at Weatherfield High School. The troubled teen, who was expelled from school and sent to a pupil referral unit after a smear campaign against teacher Daniel Osbourne, was hoping to return to his local school.
As part of a school project on displacement, Max conducted an interview with his new friend, a refugee from Iraq. They enjoyed a friendly chat at Roy's Rolls cafe supervised by Weatherfield councillor Maria Connor.
Meanwhile, Max's dad David Platt and David's wife Shona were disappointed when deputy headteacher Orla Crawshaw informed them that Max couldn't return to Weatherfield High, as there are no places available. Volatile Max was devastated when he found out that Daryan is starting at Weatherfield High but he couldn't.
