Dylan, finding himself under pressure from Mason, neglected his friendship with Liam and began joining in the bullying, straining Maria and Sean’s friendship.

In an interview with digital spy and other outlets, Longchambon teased upcoming scenes for the characters, hinting that Dylan will receive a stern word from his father.

“This is affecting Maria and Sean’s friendship,” she began. “Maria and Sean have always gotten along well, except for the time she was with Marcus, Sean’s boyfriend years ago. But since then, they’ve had a pretty good relationship.

“Obviously it has a huge effect on their relationship because at the moment Sean is in complete denial that Dylan is wrong. But I think one day he will learn the truth. And I hope they can get back on track .”

The star, who has played Maria since 2000, also spoke about her personal connection to the storyline, revealing her experience of being bullied throughout her school years.

“I was bullied throughout my childhood at different times. I was bullied a little bit in elementary school, and then I was also bullied in high school. So that I can tell you what it was like for me,” she began.

“It’s important to talk to people (and) not bottle things up. Even though people are afraid of being a snitch, or that kind of stigma attached to it, the biggest thing is you have to say it to an adult, you need to tell your friends, you just need to keep talking.”

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and broadcast on ITVX.
