Coronation Street star Luca Toolan has shared his 'hate' for his character and watching himself play Weatherfield High bully Mason Radcliffe as he teases it's "only going to get worse".
Luca made his debut in the ITV soap last as Mason and over the months viewers have both been brought to tears and left shouting at their TV screens over Mason's actions. The teen has been relentless in his bullying campaign against Liam Connor.
He's been behind the cruel taunting and abuse of the fellow teen online and in person- with his gang of mates, including Liam's neighbour and former friend Dylan Wilson. The horrifying abuse has recently led to the heartbreaking discovery that Liam was contemplating taking his own life.

Liam is now preparing for professional help, and it appeared Dylan was willing to confess to headteacher Mrs Crawshaw about what had happened after a heart-to-heart with his dad, Sean Tully. But Mason has since got to him first and in upcoming scenes, the bully will threaten Dylan into keeping quiet.
Speaking about Mason's actions and what is to come, Luca said: "It's just a ticking time bomb, because it's just getting worse and worse, and the anger inside him is just like an acid, it eats him up so I can't really see it getting any better."
He continued on what he expects from his character in the future: "I can just see it getting worse because of his upbringing. In his head I don't think it ever registers he's doing anything bad, it's just the way he's been conditioned by his family, like that's always been the way for him in my backstory.
