Coronation Street bad boy Callum Logan will grow closer to his son Max as he spends time with him in an upcoming storyline.

Sean Ward, who plays Callum, was spotted filming on location with youngster Harry McDermott, who plays Max, earlier this week.

During the filming in Manchester, it appears that Callum meets Max in the park and begins to make up for lost time as he bonds with his son.

While full details of the storyline are currently unclear, this latest turn of events won't be good news for the Platt family given Callum's drug-dealing and violent nature.

Although Kylie (Paula Lane) has already warned Callum to stay away from her son, the show's executive producer Stuart Blackburn recently hinted that Callum could have rights as Max's biological father.

Speaking at a Coronation Street press event last month, Blackburn said: "There is some incredibly moving, powerful stuff. I think all of you know that there will come a point where, for obvious reasons, Kylie vanishes.

"The story doesn't end there because, by then, David will have wound up Callum, who is not only Kylie's violent ex but is also the father of Max.

"He will do anything he can to get payback from David. We might also find that he has a few legal rights over Max as well given that he is his natural father."

Coronation Street newcomer Sean Ward is to become a permanent fixture on the cobbles after landing a one-year contract, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.

The actor has impressed show bosses with his portrayal of bad boy Callum Logan, who has been appearing on screen since early October.

Callum was originally only brought into the show to facilitate the temporary departure of his old flame Kylie Platt, but Corrie's team have now decided to make him a regular character.

Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn revealed the news to Digital Spy at the RTS North West Awards on Saturday evening (November 15).

Blackburn explained: "On Sean's first day of shooting, I got texts about him from five of the actors and four of the crew, which has never happened before. They were saying, 'This kid is brilliant'. He's going to be staying for a lot longer."

Discussing his new one-year deal, Ward added: "I'm very excited. I only found out myself a week ago. There's a lot that we can do with Callum, so I was praying that the writers could see that!"

Paula Lane, who plays Kylie, has now gone on maternity leave as she is expecting her first child. She will remain on screen until Christmas, when Kylie's recent mistakes are expected to catch up with her in dramatic fashion.

That means more screen time for Kylie. Oh no

Coronation Street star Sean Ward has hinted that viewers could see a softer side to his character Callum Logan as his paternal instincts for son Max kick in.

Callum had a crucial role in the breakdown of Kylie Platt's (Paula Lane) marriage to David over Christmas. As David (Jack P Shepherd) steps up his plan to find his wife next week, Callum continues to play games with him.

However, as David worries about his lack of legal parental rights over Max, his fears are compounded when he discovers that Callum has introduced himself to the youngster.

Ward said: "He's still getting to know Max and each time he sees him, he gets a little bit closer to actually wanting to get to know his son.

"I think he slowly starts to see himself in Max and vice versa and Max really seems to look up to Callum. I think he sees him as the cool guy that brings him cool presents and doesn't tell him off and drives a nice car.

"Callum's never felt adored before and he's not had that family love before, so his paternal instincts will kick in. Callum is intrigued when he hears Max calling David 'David', and not dad. He then realises that the 'dad' spot is still open and he can use that against David."

Discussing whether fans will see a softer side to Callum as he grows fonder of Max, Ward said: "Possibly! Whether that's through Max or through some trouble that Kylie ends up in, I don't know.

"I think if either of them were found to be in danger, you would see Callum step up to the mark. It would hurt him."

Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn recently confirmed that Callum will fight David for Max in a custody battle which will pave the way for Kylie's return.

However, as David worries about his lack of legal parental rights over Max, his fears are compounded when he discovers that Callum has introduced himself to the youngster.

Confirmation that David never formally adopted Max. That makes sense since the latter's always called David by his given name. I wonder why the adoption storyline was never followed up?
