Coronation Street fans have flooded social media with theories over the fate of Max Turner (played by Paddy Bever) after his own father David Platt (Jack P. Shepherd) calls the police over the trolling of Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon). However, ITV viewers believe his dad has made a bad judgement call.
Max was arrested on Wednesday’s episode of Coronation Street for making online threats to kill Maria.
Hiding behind the username Sadboy55, someone has been making life a misery for the aspiring politician.
Suspicious viewers have speculated on Twitter about the true identity of the troll.
Roberto tweeted: “I deffo think there will be something going on between Tim and Aggy #corrie @itvcorrie and poor Max I don’t think it’s him maybe shona [sic].”

Maria was the target of photoshopped images, with deepfake technology which made her look like she starred in an adult film.
She told the South Wales Evening Post: “She’s absolutely mortified.
“One, that it even exists, and two, that [her son] Liam has seen this video and thinks that it’s her – these deepfakes actually look like the person.
“So she’s absolutely mortified thinking that everyone’s going to think that she’s been doing pornography.
“She thinks that everyone who voted her in as councillor will see this video and think that she’s someone that she’s not.”
The storyline started after Maria requested to have the bins in the area changed to allow more recycling.
Since her recycling crusade has progressed, the amount of hate online has increased.
But, fans will have to wait to see whether it is Max who is the guilty @sadboy55.
Coronation Street continues Friday at 8pm on ITV.
