Killer Mick broke out of prison, intent on taking revenge on police officer and his former best mate Kit Green.
He beat Kit up, leaving him fighting for his life in hospital.
And then while hunting his children down in an attempt to flee, he threatened Sally Metcalfe as she tried to talk him down.
The grim scenes however have left some fans feeling like they want to complain.
One wrote: “Those scenes with Mick are just not appropriate for a soap IMO.
“It was sickening to watch Mick always grab a tool of some kind and violently beat someone.
“Same with Lou. I had to put the sound down and fast forward because I don’t get any entertainment from brutality.”
A second said: “This show is more violent and full of misery than most crime thrillers.”
Another added: “Can’t forget about Mason too but to be honest the worst one was Rob beating Lisa up in the car, I thought that one was sickening to watch.”
A fourth commented: “I thought the blood shot with it dripping through the metal grated floor a bit much for a soap.

“Like something out of a slasher movie.”
The storyline has led to the exit of actor Joe Layton as he finished his planned stint as Mick on the show.
