Coronation Street star Luca Toolan has left the soap after more than a year in the role of Mason Radcliffe.
The young actor’s exit storyline aired in Monday’s episode as the ITV soap launched a new storyline focusing on knife crime.
Corrie fans have recently seen Mason make plans to leave Weatherfield for a fresh start in Germany, where Stu Carpenter had offered him a job as a trainee chef.
The teen’s decision to leave was solidified when he helped the police to gather evidence linking his brothers Matty and Logan to the death of DS Lisa Swain’s wife Becky.
Sadly, Monday’s episode saw Matty and Logan get released from police custody before Mason could make his escape.
The pair of thugs cornered Mason in the Weatherfield Precinct and subjected him to a brutal beating.
Mason’s former schoolmate Dylan Wilson stepped in and tried to scare off Matty and Logan with the zombie knife that he’d purchased last year.

Dylan’s intervention only served to inflame the situation further, as Matty and Logan quickly grabbed the knife and Mason was stabbed amid the chaos.
