The new-look Max Turner was introduced to the Coronation Street cobbles in September, and Corrie fans have been complaining about his transformation into a bad boy.
Max, the adopted son of David Platt, got a new face as Paddy Bever took over the role from Harry McDermott.
And viewers have also noted a change in character for the 15-year-old.

Summer Spellman, who has been mentoring the school boy, was horrified when she watched his documentary film about the night of the sewer collapse, suggesting a conspiracy theory linking Johnny Connor’s and Natasha Blakeman's deaths.
Summer railed at Max, demanding he took down his troublemaking video for the sake of his cousin Sam whose mum Natasha was gunned down last month.
@DennydimpDen asked: "Is it impossible to have a nice child on a soap?"
@RyanGTweetsTV said about Max, whose biological father was the villainous Callum Logan: "Max is just like his father Callum. Like father like son."
And @bajillap asked: "When did Max become so vile??"
Max previously caused trouble for teacher Daniel Osbourne by stealing his wallet and Daniel was accused of assaulting the pupil.
And Max taunted Daniel over his past relationship with his aunt Bethany.
However next week the boy finds an unexpected ally when he gets a hard time over the video at school and he confides in Daniel how he wishes he could put things right.
Harry, from Bury, played Max in the soap from 2010.
The character grew up in foster care and was returned to his mum Kylie in 2011 after a period spent living at the Rovers Return with his aunt, Becky McDonald, when Kylie sold him to her and her husband Steve for £20,000.
Kylie managed to turn her life around and become a responsible parent with her husband David.
In 2016 Kylie was stabbed to death by Clayton Hibbs in horrifying scenes.
With Max's dad Callum Logan also dead, after he was killed by ex Kylie as he attacked Sarah Platt, Max has stayed in adoptive dad David's care alongside his half-sister Lily.
