LIAM Connor has been tormented by Mason Radcliffe for several weeks and Dylan Wilson is starting to see sense.
The lad gets tired of the troublemaker wreaking havoc in Coronation Street and lets the police know he's responsible for another crime.
Mason (portrayed by Luca Toolan) has been trying to drag Dylan (Liam McCheyne) down with him for months.
But in scenes due to air next week on ITV, everything unravels for Dylan as he realises Mason is only in it for himself.
Once he's able to swallow the hard truth, Dylan decides to do what is right by turning on his pal... and revealing his involvement in Eliza Woodrow's hit and run.
Coming up, under pressure, Liam admits to his stepfather Gary Windass (Mikey North) and mother Maria (Samia Longchambon) that Mason threatened him with a knife.

They take a terrified Liam to the police station to report the crime, where Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) and another officer call at No.11.
They proceed to tell Dylan's father Sean Tully (Antony Cotton), Eileen Grimshaw (Sue Cleaver) and Dylan that they have reason to believe they’re hiding a zombie knife that was used in an assault but the knife can’t be found.
Dylan insists he knows nothing about it, terrified, but in later scenes, Mason orders him to get the knife and meet up with him in the ginnel.
Later on, Dylan waits nervously while Craig spots and approaches him before finding the knife in Dylan’s bag.

The youngster is immediately arrested and realises, much to his horror, that Mason set him up to cover his tracks.
Once at the police station, Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) joins Sean and Dylan in the interview room.
She impresses upon a terrified Dylan that it’s time to stand up to Mason and tell the police everything he knows.
Unable to believe his son could be up to no good unless he was under someone else's influence, Sean is defensive of Dylan as Eileen and George Shuttleworth (Tony Maudsley) ask questions.
After Dee-Dee tells Dylan he needs to think about his plea, he bumps into Liam and apologises for bullying him.
He's then horrified when Liam tells him he contemplated suicide but can both boys ever truly put the past behind them?
While this remains to be seen, Mason later finds Dylan in Victoria Garden and thanks him for taking the rap.
Unfortunately, Dylan is done enabling him and makes it clear that the rift between them could be permanent.
Dylan looks at Mason with contempt and tells him that he told the police about the hit and run too, hinting huge trouble for the bully.
