Coronation Street fans are convinced they’ve sussed when Mason Radcliffe will make his return to the cobbles, following speculation he didn’t actually die after being stabbed
Coronation Street fans believe they’ve figured out when Mason Radcliffe will make his return, amidst rumours that he’s not actually dead.
The young character (played by Luca Toolan) first appeared on the cobbles in 2023 as a school bully. After tormenting Maria Connor’s (Samia Longchambon) young son, Liam Connor (Charlie Wrenshall), Mason was sent to a Young Offenders centre.
He was later released and returned to Weatherfield, determined to change his ways and distance himself from his violent family – including brothers Logan (Harry Lowbridge) and Matty (Seamus McGoff).
Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) took him in and he secured a job as a chef at Speed Dahl. Additionally, Mason began a relationship with Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin), the daughter of police officer DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).

However, earlier this month, events took a terrifying turn when Mason’s brothers tracked him down for reporting them for the murder of Betsy’s mum Becky. Realising he needed to leave Weatherfield for his own safety, as his brothers would likely seek revenge, Mason made plans to depart.
But disaster struck when Matty and Logan found Mason and stabbed him with Dylan Wilson’s (Liam McCheyne) zombie knife. Abi Franklin (Sally Carman), whose own son Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) tragically died after being attacked in 2021, tried desperately to save Mason as he bled from a stab wound in the children’s play area, reports Plymouth Live.

Mason was swiftly taken to hospital as soon as the ambulance arrived, but it wasn’t long before there were shock waves on the street, as it emerged that Mason had tragically passed away. The cobblestones are left reeling over the heartbreaking news.
But fans aren’t convinced by this turn of events, with some believing that Mason might still be alive and caught up in a jaw-dropping witness protection plot twist. Speculation is rife among viewers, who have taken to social media to share their hunches about when he’ll reappear.
According to online chatter, fans are betting he could make a spectacular entrance at his own funeral, causing a proper soap opera stir. On a Corrie fan page on Facebook, one user wrote: “Who else thinks Mason will return at his funeral? ” Another followed suit saying: “I was thinking that.” Then, a third chimed in: “If the witness protection twist is true that would be epic.”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
