Coronation Street’s Max Turner could soon be in for a nasty shock after being embroiled in a racism storyline.
The teen, played by Paddy Bever, has been groomed by dodgy Griff’s gang, who are slowly turning him against Muslims and his former employers at Speed Daal.
The far-right gang includes his new girlfriend Lauren, who took Max up to bed in an attempt to secure his loyalty, despite his reservations about Griff’s world-views.

Now firmly entrenched in the racist rhetoric, Max is only digging a deeper hole for himself – but fans now think they’ve figured out a dark secret about Lauren.
Some think she could be Max’s half-sister, and that evil Callum is her biological father.
Callum was killed off by Kylie Platt after attempting to rape Sarah, and hidden under the floorboards in the Platts’ home for years.
But he certainly had time to give birth to a few other kids on the cobbles – or one fan certainly seemed to think so.
Taking to Twitter, one avid Corrie viewer penned: “I think Lauren is probably Callum’s daughter.”
Someone else quickly followed up: “This is such a good theory. But it would technically mean her and Max are v dodgy together lol.”
Things are prepared to get even darker, as some fans think Lauren could already be pregnant with Max’s baby.
One social media user said: “Oh dear, Lauren’s gone upstairs with Max. That’s her up the duff then!
“What with there being no contraception for the under 20s in the Twilight Zone known as Weatherfield!”

Elsewhere, their relationship has had fans “skin crawling”, as one Twitter user said: “Max and Lauren his obnoxious little sidekick make my skin crawl!”
Another agreed: “Max, open your eyes and smell the coffee because Griff and Lauren are brainwashing and grooming you.”
Someone else branded them “disgusting” after the racist attack on Daryan on Monday (November 14) – with plenty urging Max to “bin” his new racist pals.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8pm on ITV1.
