Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ who really hurt Shanice and it’s not sister Joanie

Coronation Street Shanice’s real abuser ‘unveiled’ in sick twist and it’s not sister Joanie

Coronation Street fans have ‘worked out’ who really gave youngster Shanice bruises on her arm and it’s not who you think.

The sisters made their debut on the ITV soap earlier this year, with brother Brody (Ryan Mulvey), as Mick (Joe Layton) and Lou Michaelis’ (Farrel Hegarty) children.

In recent weeks though, it’s been a difficult time for the siblings following the arrest of both of their parents.

As fans will recall, Mick was sent to prison for killing Craig Tinker (Colson Smith), while Lou is behind bars for attacking and blackmailing Gary Windass (Mikey North).

After Mick and Lou got arrested, Shanice, Jonnie and Brody were taken in by Sally (Sally Dynevor) and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine), with the couple trying to bring some sort of normality to the kids’ lives.

This week though, Sally was left shocked when she discovered bruises on Shanice’s arm, after Joanie was sent to her room for fighting over the TV with her younger sister.

Shanice said she got the bruises from falling over at school, but a startled Sally shared her concerns with Tim that Joanie could be responsible.

Later on though, after telling Brody the situation, he quickly shut down the conversation, and when Sally insisted they should tell social services, Brody pleaded with her not to.

Fans have ‘worked out’ a heartbreaking twist

And now, fans reckon they know who has really been abusing Shanice in a heartbreaking twist. Sharing their thoughts on a Corrie Facebook fan page, fans think it could be Brody.

One person penned: “I think it’s Brody bruising Shanice.” Someone else added: “I thought the same especially when I saw Brody’s face tonight. He looked frightened but it looked more to me like guilt, rather than him being worried they’d be separated.”

A third chimed in: “I think Brody is the abuser. I assume Mick abused him so maybe he did the same to his sisters.” Another also wrote: “Bet that it is Brody that is abusing his little sister.”
