Coronation Street villain killed off in shock scenes after just 16 months on the cobbles
A CORONATION Street villain has been killed off after just 16 months on the cobbles.
The ITV soap’s newest episode saw the shocking murder of Mason Radcliffe as his brothers hunted him down for grassing them up for murdering Betsy’s mum Becky.
Shocking scenes saw Mason attacked by his brothers and flee – but the thugs chased him down.
And when Dylan tried to intervene – bringing Mason’s knife – it was taken from him and used to stab Mason.
He stumbled into the playground and hallucinated a future where he reunited with Betsy and planned for his new life in Germany.
But as the truth was revealed about Dylan’s involvement, the reality was shown as Abi Webster found Mason bleeding out.
She screamed for an ambulance and tried to apply pressure to his wounds, desperate to save him.
Mason told her: “I’m going to die, aren’t I? I’m going to die.”
Abi said: “You’re not going to die. Mason, listen to me, an ambulance is on the way and you’re not going to die.”
However the ambulance was distracted by a hoax call and delayed in getting to Mason so he was in a bad way by the time it arrived.
Rushed to hospital with a weeping Betsy and Abi with him, the doctors battled to save his life.
But sadly there was nothing they could do and Masson died in the hospital leaving Betsy devastated.
Meanwhile back on the cobbles Sean found Dylan alive and told him they had to go to the police to report what he knew, not realising that Dylan had been the one to bring the knife.
Will Dylan face up to the consequence of his actions?
And how will Betsy cope with losing her boyfriend to the same people who killed her mum?
