Mason’s return to the town has left fans rolling theories. The troubled character is showing signs of a deeper storyline. Coronation Street spoilers suggest that it hints at a possible redemption arc that’s eerily similar to Jacob’s. However, not everyone is on board—many viewers fondly remember Jacob’s charisma and aren’t convinced Mason has what it takes to fill his shoes. What’s next for him? Keep scrolling to find out!
Reddit Fans Roll Out Theories On Mason’s Permanent Stay In Weatherfield
Mason’s return has everyone talking. After being taken in by Stu and Yasmeen, viewers wonder if Mason is set to become a permanent resident. It seems the show might be diving into Mason’s troubled past, exploring the reasons behind his behaviour, including a possible confession of abuse.
His growing concern for Betsy, especially after noticing her bruises, suggests that Mason might genuinely care about her safety. However, not everyone is thrilled about this potential storyline. Some fans are asking, “Why didn’t they just keep Jacob?” His redemption plot was widely praised.
Redditors argue that Jacob was a better character, played by a more charismatic actor, and his transformation felt more natural and compelling. On the other hand, Mason’s introduction hasn’t been as well-received. Critics of the character argue that, unlike Jacob, Mason lacks the same appeal.
One fan pointed out that Jacob didn’t bully a child into contemplating suicide, and they have no interest in seeing Mason’s redemption. Another echoed this sentiment that the character is wholly unlikeable, too, and that won’t change because the actor has no charisma.
Despite the backlash, there’s still speculation about where Mason’s story might go. Some believe he might become more cunning and manipulative, especially with Betsy’s advice. Others think the show might go the ‘Hollyoaks’ route by possibly making Mason, Liam, and Dylan friends.
However, this idea also faces resistance as viewers believe Gary would never let that happen. Interestingly, some fans have seen a different side of Mason, like when he stood up for Yasmeen during Sean’s outburst. They believe he has potential and might surprise everyone.
Yet another theory says that the writers want the audience to care about Mason, only to shock them with his death at Joel’s hands after he finds the lawyer’s truth.
