CORONATION Street fans are predicting a twist after Daniel Osbourne pushed Max Turner down the stairs.
The teacher - who is played by actor Rob Mallard in the ITV soap - found Max in his flat, in the middle of smashing it up.
Max had even destroyed the last thing Sinead made for her son Bertie before she died.
Realising what Max had broken, Daniel lost it.
Grabbing the schoolboy by his coat Daniel dragged him to the door.
“Do you know what this is?” he screamed picking up the piece of Sinead’s last artwork for Bertie.
“You expect me to believe it was an accident? That was one of the last things I have left of Sinead.”
Max sniped back: “Like you care, you were onto our Bethany soon enough after she died.”

But when the police arrived Daniel decided to lie about what happened.
Giving him their statement, he said: “He came out of my bedroom - I don’t even know what he’s done in there.
“I asked him what he was doing. We exchanged words, I told him to leave.
“I escorted him to the door. Then I closed the door behind him, and the next thing I heard was…”
