<\/p>\nCoronation Street newcomer Luca Toolan has admitted he felt guilty watching scenes where his character pulled a knife on someone.<\/p>\n
The actor – whose dad is well-known DJ Mike Toolan – joined the soap as bully Mason Radcliffe in October and has already made a name for himself on the cobbles with his bullying behaviour. Recent scenes saw the situation escalate, with Mason threatening Liam Connor (Charlie Wrenshall).<\/p>\n
Mason and his friends targeted Liam, taunting him and pushing him over as they chucked rubbish on him. When he tried to fight back, Mason stunned everyone by whipping out a knife. "Do that again!" he threatened, while holding the weapon in front of him.<\/p>\n
