Coronation Street tackled the issue of knife crime in a recent episode, which left viewers devastated. The storyline follows the death of Mason Radcliffe, who was stabbed by his brothers Logan and Matty.
Harry, who attended the Central Youth Theatre in Wolverhampton, plays Logan Radcliffe - one of Mason Radcliffe’s criminal brothers. Coronation Street fans were left devastated as Mason (Luca Toolan) died following a knife attack by Logan and his other brother Matty (Seamus McGoff) on Monday night. Coronation Street bosses say the storyline was inspired by an 80% rise in knife crime in England and Wales over the last 10 years, according to a report by the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The West Midlands has seen some of the worst incidents in the UK with 16 year-old Pooja Kanda stabbed to death in Wolverhampton in 2022. The city was also the setting for the horrific murder of Shawn Seesahai who was knifed to death by two boys aged 12 at the time of the chilling crime in November 2023.Following the episode Harry posted a picture of him with his fellow Corrie stars on his instagram page and commented: “These lads did an amazing job”. His followers responded by praising the show for showcasing such an important issue. One said: “Absolutely incredible portrayal… brilliant effort from you all! Let’s hope it stops just one more person dying from knife crime” Another said: “Well done lads, you all did outstandingly well, best storyline that Corrie has done for a while. “They need to have more talented young actors like you lads more often and focus on certain topics like knife crime or anything that affects young people these days. Absolutely devastated about Mason, it was an honour to have met Luca in 2023.”Speaking about appearing in the episode, Toolan said: “I truly am honoured to be a part of this storyline. “I’ve always enjoyed Coronation Street as a viewer, but I completely underestimated the power that it has on its audience until I was involved in the bullying storylin
