Explosive Corrie trailer sees Craig's killer escape prison as dark plan exposed
Things are about to get very intense on Coronation Street, as a brand new trailer teases a dramatic prison break when killer Mick Michaelis makes a desperate bid to flee Weatherfield with his children.
Fans will see Mick (Joe Layton) go on the run in an episode set to air on Monday, July 14, after orchestrating a daring escape from prison. With nothing left to lose, the desperate character is on a mission to reunite his fractured family – but his plan could leave even more destruction in its wake.
Mick is spurred into action after hearing that his family is falling apart without him. Convinced that they belong together, he makes a bold and risky move to take Brody, Joanie and Shanice away from everything and start a new life elsewhere.
But with police in hot pursuit and his violent past catching up with him, the fugitive poses a serious threat to anyone who gets in his way.
His first stop is Weatherfield High, where he is determined to track down his daughter Joanie. But when he realises she's already been taken home by Sally ( Sally Dynevor), Mick heads straight for the cobbles – with DC Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) not far behind.
Completely unaware of the danger that's coming, Sally takes Joanie to Underworld to give her a quick tour while the factory girls are at the pub. But things quickly take a sinister turn when Mick arrives on the street, ready to do whatever it takes to get to his daughter.
With Kit in pursuit, it's only a matter of time before the situation explodes. What exactly does Mick have planned – and will Kit manage to stop him before it's too late?
Actor Joe Layton has spoken about the dramatic scenes coming up, explaining: "He isn't after revenge, this is about him wanting to get his family together and start a new life with them. The anger that we saw when he killed Craig has been replaced by desperation and love for his family, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous. Kit is potentially putting his life on the line once more in his attempts to stop Mick."
Viewers will remember that Mick arrived in Weatherfield earlier this year with wife Lou (Farrel Hegarty), and quickly became the street's nightmare neighbour.
Things turned deadly when Mick brutally murdered police officer Craig Tinker by bludgeoning him to death with a bat after a tense confrontation.
Craig had been trying to arrest Mick following a suspected drink-driving incident, but it ended in tragedy. Mick has been behind bars ever since – but that is soon set to change.
Will Mick escape with his kids? Or will his twisted quest to reunite his family end in disaster?
Mick's escape episode airs on ITVX and YouTube at 7am on Monday July 14th and on ITV at 8pm

Coronation Street icon makes shock return to soap set almost a YEAR after disappearing
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CORONATION Street favourite has made a shock return to the cobbles - nearly a year after leaving the soap.

The mum-of-two took to Instagram to reveal that she's back on the Corrie set as she posed for a photo in her dressing room. Lucy wrote: "And just like that she's back." A Coronation Street spokesperson confirmed that "Lucy will be returning to filming in the summer after maternity leave, as always planned and that Bethany will be back on screen in October." However, there were rumours that Lucy had quit the ITV soap for good - amid the shock cast cull. It was revealed that the star had signed with the talent agency Off Limits - leaving fans fearing she won't be returning to Corrie. And viewers had seen the likes of Craig Tinker, Eileen Grimshaw, Mason Radcliffe and Yasmeen Nazir all given the boot within weeks of each other. Lucy's latest social media post confirmed she will be returning to the cobbles... but for how long? Before her dramatic exit earlier this year, Bethany returned to the Street on New Year's Eve 2023 - and wasted no time diving headfirst into chaos. She quickly rekindled things with ex Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), but happiness was short-lived. Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon pregnant with her second child as she shares news with footballer boyfriend and son Bethany came face-to-face with vile abuser Nathan Curtis (Christopher Parker) following his prison release, and later underwent botched cosmetic surgery in Turkey. The risky op left her battling sepsis and needing a permanent stoma bag. Then, just as things seemed to be looking up, Daniel popped the question on Christmas Day - and Bethany said yes, unaware that his ex Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) had just discovered she was pregnant… and Daniel might be the dad after a one-night stand. The truth didn't stay buried for long - and with emotions running high, Bethany packed her bags once again, ditching Daniel and heading back to London for a fresh start. Bethany Platt's biggest Corrie storylines Bethany is the daughter of Sarah Platt (Tina O'Brien) and her classmate Neil Fearns (Paul Holowaty). Sarah fell pregnant at the age of just 12-years-old, much to the horror of her family. When she was a child, Bethany's was involved in a major storyline when she took ecstasy tablets. This was when her uncle, David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd), hid them in her doll. The character departed the soap in 2007 with her mum for a new life in Milan. Her return storyline saw the teenager run away back to Weatherfield with a new actress as Lucy Fallon took over the role. Storylines since then have included major school bullying. Her teachers said she was skipping school as she told them that she was attending grief counselling. Sarah and David soon realised that Bethany intercepted letters and emails from the school. She was being tormented by a group of girls, which included her mainbully Lauren (Shannon Flynn). Gary notices the bullying and reports it to the school. Due to several incidents, Lauren makes out that Bethany is the bully and they are both suspended. During this time, Bethany helps David out at the salon and Lauren comes in for a treatment. David then threatened her to leave his family alone. This was before she was expelled from the school after other girls came forward about the torment. Bethany was later at the centre of one of Corrie's darkest storylines when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator Nathan Curtis. The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her. The storyline was based on a real life story and also drew inspiration from the child sex abuse ring in Rochdale, which saw nine men jailed in 2012. But what brings Bethany back to Weatherfield? And with Daisy now gone... will she pick up where she left off with Daniel? Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX. 5 Bethany underwent botched cosmetic surgery in Turkey, leaving her needing a permanent stoma bag Credit: ITV 5 She accepted Daniel's proposal unaware that his ex Daisy had just discovered she was pregnant Credit: ITV
