There’s terror for the residents of Coronation Street in upcoming episodes when killer Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) breaks out of prison – and causes havoc at the school and factory.
Mick, who is in prison following his murder of PC Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), is upset by news from his family. With Lou (Farrel Hegarty) in serious trouble, there’s a risk that the family will fall apart. Mick knows he’s got to do something and desperately enlists the help of his son, Brody (Ryan Mulvey).
He wants Brody to round up his sisters and the plan is that Mick will escape from prison and join them and the whole family will go on the run. Brody, who’s recently found out that Mick isn’t his biological father, is still keen to impress the man who raised him and he agrees to the plan.
Brody goes off to pick up the girls, who are staying with Sally (Sally Dynevor) and Tim (Joe Duttine), only to find that Joanie (Savanna Pennington) has gone to Weatherfield High for a taster day.
She’s not having a great time as some of the other kids are having a go at her because of her infamous dad. She gets upset and the school staff call Sally and get her to come and pick her up.
Meanwhile Lou is being questioned by the police after Mick has broken out of prison. She denies all knowledge.
Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) is at the school for an interview, and he and Mrs Crawshaw (Carla Mendonça) are shocked when they’re suddenly confronted by Mick, demanding to see his daughter. Mrs Crawshaw tells him that Joanie isn’t there, and was picked up by Sally earlier.
Frustrated and angry, Mick locks the pair in the office.

Meanwhile, the kids are terrified by the presence of Mick, whose behaviour seems out of control.
They try to hide as best they can. Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) is shocked later to hear from Hope Stape (Isabella Flanagan) that his son, Sam (Jude Riordan), was left on his own in a corridor after his cousin Lily Platt (Brooke Malonie) refused to let him hide in the classroom where she was taking refuge.
There’s short-lived relief as Mick heads off towards Coronation Street, with Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) in hot pursuit.
But with Mick ever more desperate to find his children and with an unaware Sally showing Joanie around the factory, the violence is far from over – and lives will be left in the balance.
Tim notices him marching into the building, and as a menacing heartbeat sound effect rings out, Mick watches Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) from afar.
She’s terrified when he grabs her phone and smashes it on the floor, before grabbing her by the neck. Tim begs him to stop, just as Sally and Joanie reenter the factory.
Desperate to keep them concealed, she rushes the youngster up a staircase out of sight.
