Luca Toolan, who plays the role of Mason Radclyffe on Coronation Street, is revealed to have a famous father, Mike Toolan, a well-known radio DJ. The surprising connection was highlighted by social media users after Luca's character became involved in a controversial bullying storyline.
Soap actor Luca Toolan made his professional acting debut on Coronation Street at the end of 2023 playing the role of bad boy student Mason Radclyffe who was introduced as part of a storyline tackling the issue of bullying in schools. But Luca is not the only famous member of the Toolan family with his father Mike also well-known across the UK.
Mike Toolan is a radio DJ, currently presenting a show on Hits radio every weekday afternoon working alongside the likes of Coronation Street's Brooke Vincent and Hollyoaks' Gemma Atkinson. As Corrie viewers know, Mason was the leader of the heartbreaking bullying storyline which saw the new character being relentless in his targeting Liam Connor Jnr ever since his arrival on screen. The bullying campaign, which included Mason pulling a knife on a terrified Liam, came to a head as Mason went to the Young Offenders centre. In more recent scenes, Mason has now served his time and fellow young Corrie character Dylan feared for his safety after learning that Mason had been released. Dylan bravely stood up to Mason earlier this year, testifying against him in court. This helped to secure justice as Mason faced his punishment for threatening Liam with a knife. In new scenes airing tonight at 8:00pm on ITV1, fans will see dark and shocking scenes as Mason is stabbed by his brothers Matty and Logan. While Mason's backstory is currently underexplored, New Corrie boss Kate Brooks is said to be keen to shine a light on the issue of knife crime with Mason at the centre of it. However away from Corrie, Mason star Luca returns to his family home with his famous dad.
