His character is currently behind bars but when he does return to the cobbles, Max Turner will be sporting a very different look. Coronation Street star Paddy Bever, who has played the step-son of David Platt since taking over the role 2021, took to Instagram to show off his transformation as he currently spends less time on screen.
Last month, viewers of the ITV soap watched as the teen pleaded guilty to encouraging terrorism. In horror scenes aired in January, fans saw fellow teen Blake appear intent on causing damage as he live-streamed his visit to Maria Connor's refugee drop-in which was being held in Alya Nazir's restaurant which she runs with her gran, Yasmeen.
It came after both Maria and Alya become the target of an extremist group led by eco-warrior Griff Reynolds and his racist gang who groomed troubled Max. And upon seeing the videos Max helped create for the terrifying gang, Blake decided to pull his own horrifying stunt. Max tried to stop him after seeing his live video but it was too late and Blake launched towards Maria before Alya saved her life.
