Coronation Street writer teases 'we'll hear from Mick and Lou Michaelis again' as she hints at return
Are the duo actually done causing trouble?
Coronation Street writer Jan McVerry has hinted that we haven’t heard the last of Mick and Lou Michaelis on the cobbles.
The pair were sent to prison earlier this year for their individual attacks on Craig Tinker (RIP) and Gary Windass.
But, they could be about to make their Corrie comeback in a huge twist.
Michaelis’ locked up
Mick and Lou Michaelis joined Coronation Street at the start of this year. They were branded the ‘nightmare neighbours’ of the Winter-Browns.
They were involved in lots of drama, with Kit Green turning out to be Brody’s biological dad, and with Mick turning violent in a quest to make him pay for sleeping with Lou back in the day.
As well as this, Mick had been abusing his wife Lou behind closed doors. His violent streak turned public though. This happened as he whacked PC Craig Tinker on the head with a baseball bat and killed him. After being locked up, Mick managed to escape prison. He ended up causing a stir at Weatherfield High before heading to the factory and leaving Sally Metcalfe in danger while demanding she handed over his daughter Joanie.
With Mick stabbing Kit Green, he was taken back to his cell once again. And, when it later came out that Lou Michaelis had attacked Gary Windass and left him for dead just months later, she was also locked up, leaving the kids in the hands of Sally and Tim.
Joanie and Shanice are being fostered by the Metcalfes while Brody Michaelis lives elsewhere.
But, this might not be the end of the couple’s story after all!
Coronation Street writer hints at Michaelis family return
Mick and Lou were like Marmite characters. You either hated them for being so horrible or loved them for being true soap villains.
It’s fair to say that they’ve been missed by many though, but a comeback is possible.
Speaking to the Stateside Street podcast, Jan explained: “We brought in the Michaelis family, him [Mick] and Lou, [it was] very explosive, hit the ground running.
“The viewers hated them, but they brought a lot of drama with them and they’ve left us a great legacy with Brody.”
She then said: “It’s not the end of the family. We are going to hear from them again.” So, we could be hearing from the Michaelis’ sooner rather than later!
