Coronation Street bosses have dropped a trailer showing a desperate Mick Michaelis (played by Joe Layton) on the run from prison on a quest to reunite with his children. Following the news that his family is falling apart at the seams, the dramatic instalment of the ITV soap, which is airing on Monday, July 14, follows Mick's jailbreak as he attempts a runner with Brody (Ryan Mulvey), Joanie (Savanna Pennington) and Shanice (Molly Kilduff).
A Coronation Street spokesperson said: "With the desperate killer having little to lose, he poses a danger to anyone who gets in his way. His first port of call is Weatherfield High, but when he realises that his daughter Joanie has been taken home from school by Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor), he heads for the cobbles." When Sally offers Joanie a tour of Underworld, she has no idea Mick has returned to the cobbles and is closely followed by Kit Green (Jacob Roberts).
But what exactly does Mick have planned and will Kit be able to stop him in his tracks?
Actor Joe said: "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"The anger that we saw when he killed Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) has been replaced by desperation and love for his family, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous.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."
Will Kit put his life in danger in the explosive instalment of the ITV soap? Mick has killed once - so could he kill again? Or will another cobbles character manage to stop Mick from leaving Weatherfield with his children?
Mick's escape episode airs on ITVX and YouTube at 7am on Monday, July 14 and on ITV at 8pm.
