Coronation Street viewers were astonished to realise where they’ve seen the actor Joe Layton, who portrays Mick Michaelis, before his memorable entrance on the iconic show.
Joe Layton made quite the entrance into Coronation Street earlier in the year, assuming the role of Mick, a thug who descended upon Weatherfield with his wife Lou (played by Farrel Hegarty).

Branded as “nightmare neighbours,” it wasn’t long before Mick and Lou stirred up some serious drama in their new neighbourhood.
Their arrival on Mawdsley Street brought them into the orbit of Gemma (portrayed by Dolly-Rose Campbell) and Chesney Brown (played by Sam Aston), quickly forming what could only be described as an interesting friendship.

Mick has not shied away from causing a commotion with locals such as Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) and Ronnie Bailey (Vinta Morgan). Notably, last month saw Mick’s aggressive streak surface when he violently lashed out at Sean Tully (Anthony Cotton).
Sean’s unintentional revelation to authorities concerning Mick’s son Brody (Ryan Mulvey), who had been bullying Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne), was the catalyst for this savage attack, reports Leicestershire Live.

Recent episodes have brought to light a significant backstory between Mick and corrupt policeman Kit Green (played by Jacob Roberts), teasing a special flashback episode to explore their shared history.
Adding to the brewing storm, despite their fresh faces on the Street just a few months ago, news has broken that both Lou and Mick will be exiting Weatherfield later this summer as part of an explosive narrative arc.

He previously starred alongside Jodie Comer
Before taking up residence on Corrie, actor Joe Layton is no stranger to the limelight. His past roles include appearances on international hits like Agents Of S.H. I..E. L..D and Young Wallander.
Joe’s performance as Craig Watts in the BBC drama Thirteen is finally clicking for fans, with many recalling his 2016 role opposite Jodie Comer’s Ivy Moxam. The series revolves around Ivy’s escape after being held captive for 13 years, with Joe playing the fiancé of Ivy’s sister.

It seems fans have been hit with a wave of recognition, with social media buzzing over the rediscovery. A Corrie fan page shared a snapshot of Joe in Thirteen with one user commenting, “Literally just remembered that the actor who plays Mick was in the Jodie Comer drama Thirteen.”
Other fans also expressed their realisations saying, “I thought I recognised him!” and another confirmed, “Oh yeah you’re right.”
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
