FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD Liam Connor is thrown into the spotlight next week as he crosses the path of another troublesome lad.
His mother, Coronation Street councillor Maria Connor is in for a huge fright when her son is rushed to hospital as a result.
The feisty hairdresser portrayed by Samia Longchambon has encountered many villains during her time in the ITV cobbles.
However, next week, her son is the one to face adversity as viewers of the Manchester-based program will be introduced to Mason, played by Luca Toolan.
Liam becomes a target for the youngster and things quickly get out of hand.
It all begins at the bus stop when Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) and Mason enjoy some banter while Liam (Charlie Wrenshall) struggles with his asthma.
Mason pokes fun at him and Gary Windass (Mikey North) witnesses the exchange, unimpressed.
In later scenes, matters go from bad to worse when Mason, Dylan and a reluctant Liam, plan their day skiving off school.
While in the precinct, Mason hands the lads disposable vapes, prompting Dylan to try it before feeling sick.
Mason forces Liam to try the vape causing him to suffer an asthma attack.
