Coronation Street Star Teases Dark Scenes Ahead, Including Explosive Prison Escape and Moral Battle for Teenager

Strategic Insights -

Actor Ryan Mulvey, who plays Brody Michaelis, has revealed the turmoil and conflict that his character is about to face, including a desperate plan to help his father escape prison and a moral battle with his new biological father, Kit Green.

The dramatic scenes, which will air next week on ITV, see Brody's father, Mick Michaelis, trying to escape the law and take his family with him, putting many lives at risk. Meanwhile, Brody is struggling to come to terms with the news that Kit is his biological father, and the two are embroiled in a complicated and emotional situation.

"I think it's hard because he's only just found out about Kit being his dad," Mulvey said. "So it's all, again, very overwhelming for Brody and he doesn't really know how to process it. The idea that someone who could offer him a better life, and he knows that he could offer him a better life, Brody's clever, could also be taken away is tough."
