Fans of the ITV soap were left in tears as they watched Mason die as a result of being stabbed in an attack by his brothers

Coronation Street fans think they have ‘worked out’ what will be happening next for Betsy Swain following Mason Radcliffe’s horrifying death.

Fans of the ITV soap were left in tears as they watched Mason die as a result of being stabbed in an attack by his brothers, Matty and Logan. The teen had been planning to leave the cobbles after being offered a job in Germany by Stu Carpenter.

It comes after Mason had recently been seen trying to turn his life around after he was imprisoned himself for possessing a knife amidst a cruel bullying campaign against fellow school pupil Liam Connor. But Mason couldn’t escape his past and his brothers arrived to cause havoc, not just for their sibling, last year.

During Monday night’s (January 6) trip to Weatherfield, Mason and Dylan Wilson were attacked by Matty and Logan as Mason tried to retrieve some family photos from their flat to take with him to Germany after accepting a job offer from Stu. After Mason was seemingly fine after a beating from his older siblings, things changed as Mason was seen going about his day.

During it, he and Liam discussed the latter carrying a knife for protection before the screen blurred back to reality. Mason was back sitting on the playground, only this time, he was bleeding heavily from a stab wound, inflicted by his brothers. It was revealed that a terrified Dylan had brought the zombie knife, which he’d been hiding for months, in a bid to help save Mason from his siblings.

But his decision backfired as Logan took the knife and as Mason jumped to Dylans defence, Matty pushed his younger sibling in Logan’s direction and right into the blade. It was Abi Webster who was then the first at the scene to find Mason bleeding and did her best to stop the flow of blood.

She was also aided by Gary Windass before Betsy rushed to be by her boyfriend’s side before the ambulance showed up, which was delayed due to a hoax call. It was later confirmed Mason had died from his injuries.

The news was broken to Betsy by paramedic Asha Alahan with the teen breaking down in tears and falling into Abi’s arms before her mum, DS Lisa Swain, arrived and was incredibly moved by seeing her daughter in such a state.

Following Mason’s death, some Corrie fans think Betsy will now face a pregnancy surprise. @Kelsian_03 said: “After today’s episode does everyone think that maybe Betsy is pregnant due to Mason. If she is pregnant that would be another traumatic experience for Besty. Lisa would be put in another difficult situation. This maybe where Carla opens up about her miscarriage #Swarla #Corrie.”

@darrennpassey replied: “I have been thinking about this theory for ages, would be another traumatic experience for Betsy and would give her another storyline!” @TVMusings22 shared: “I think a pregnancy story is looming.” @gretasrobbins added: “Calling it now- betsy is pregnant. mason’s cute dinner date would have been enough to establish that they’re a sweet teenage couple. lisa caught them but no real aftermath of that with lisa & betsy? but corrie made a point to show that they were sleeping together so… #corrie.”
