Opening up about the impact of his character's death on the soap going forward, Mason star Luca Toolan said: "Originally Mason was a really secluded character and wouldn't have had much impact on anyone else because he wasn't integrated onto the street as a cast member, but now he's found his feet within the street and that's such a nice feeling.
"It would have been such a shame for him to go out with the same attitude as he came in with. There's been a lot of warmth from Mason recently, especially with Betsy, so it's been nice to play and see that different side to him and realise that he's actually a human after all.
"This all adds to the gravity of his death, the story and raising more awareness of knife crime and how it has such a detrimental effect for everyone involved."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
