Coronation Street viewers slam soap as ‘horrible to watch’ over racist storyline

Griff has been grooming Max

Coronation Street fans have slammed the racism storyline after schoolboy Daryan was attacked by Griff and his friends.

Griff has been grooming Max Turner into joining his hate group and has introduced him to Lauren.

But Lauren accused Max’s colleague, teenage refugee Daryan, of harassing her.

Now fans are furious after Griff and his friends targeted and attacked Daryan after he finished work.

Coronation Street racism storyline gets worse

In last night’s episode (Monday, November 14) Griff picked Max up to take him to school and he told him how Daryan was giving him evils.

Griff then went head to head with Alya who accused Max of vandalising the restaurant.

Later Alya shared her suspicions about Griff with Yasmeen.

After hearing Alya’s suspicions, Toyah reminded Spider of the racist concert and suggested Griff could be involved in a hate group.

But she has no idea that Spider is investigating Griff.

Alya ended up having a stand-off with Griff and his mates in the Rovers and she warned them to leave Daryan alone.

Meanwhile Max agreed to spread flyers for Griff’s next speech but Spider tried to warn him off.

However Max didn’t listen and he and Lauren spread the flyers in Roy’s café.

Griff targets Daryan

Later at Speed Daal, Yasmeen encouraged Daryan to finish after a long day.

As he walked outside, he was confronted by Griff and his friends, wearing masks.

They cornered him in Victoria Garden where the group began shouting racist remarks at him.

As Daryan tried to leave, he was punched and told to go back to Pakistan – even though he’s not from Pakistan.

Daryan managed to get away but fans were horrified by the scenes and have said they hate the storyline.

Coronation Street: Griff’s hate group

Earlier this year, viewers were introduced to Spider’s ‘friend’ Griff, a supposed environmental activist.

However it was revealed that Griff and his friends are part of a racist hate group and Spider is an undercover officer investigating them.

A couple of weeks ago, Griff began grooming Max and introduced him to his friend’s daughter Lauren.

Lauren’s dad is also part of the hate group.

Meanwhile Max began working at Speed Daal alongside Daryan.

While waiting at the restaurant for Max, Lauren accused Daryan of making her uncomfortable, turning Max against him.

However it became clear that Lauren is a racist.

Last week, Spider threw red paint across Speed Daal, vandalising the outside for Griff’s group.

Coronation Street usually airs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV.
