Coronation Street fans are certain Mason Radcliffe isn’t actually dead – and they have ‘proof’.
The youngster (Luca Toolan) made his debut back in 2023 – rocking up to the cobbles as the school bully. After terrorising Maria Connor’s (Samia Longchambon) young son, Liam Connor (Charlie Wrenshall), Mason was sent to a Young Offenders centre.
He was later released and headed back to Weatherfield, adamant he wanted to turn his life around and get away from his violent family – including brothers Logan (Harry Lowbridge) and Matty (Seamus McGoff).
He was taken in by Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) and Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine) and bagged a job as a chef at Speed Dahl. What’s more, Mason also struck up a romance with Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin), the daughter of copper DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers).

This week though, things took a horrifying turn when Mason’s brothers hunted him down for turning them in for murdering Besty’s mum Becky. Mason realised he needed to leave the cobbles for his safety, as his brothers would likely seek revenge. He decided to take up Stu Carpenter’s (Bill Fellows) job offer in Germany for a fresh start.
However, tragedy struck on Monday night (January 6) as Matty and Logan tracked down Mason and ended up stabbing him with Dylan Wilson’s (Liam McCheyne) zombie knife. Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) – whose own son Seb Franklin (Harry Visinoni) tragically died after being attacked back in 2021 – then desperately tried to save him.

As the ambulance arrived and Mason was rushed to hospital. However, it was soon revealed that Mason had tragically died with the cobbles left reeling over the devastating news.
However, fans now reckon that Mason is actually still alive as part of some shock witness protection twist. Sharing their thoughts online, viewers pointed out we were informed by paramedic Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) about Mason’s death, not a doctor.

“Maybe Mason has gone into witness protection? The same happened with Sid on Hollyoaks a few years ago. It was announced he died but was still alive, so maybe Mason is in witness protection to help bring his brothers down,” said one person.
Other fans agreed, as someone else mused: “Regarding Mason, no doctor came out to say he had died and Asha left the room as they were working on him.” A third wrote: “This theory would be great.” Another said: “True! I never thought of that.”
