It wasn’t all doom and gloom as some fans jumped at the chance to speculate how his final storyline will pan out.  

After the soap saw the return of scheming Janine Butcher, some wondered if she would be the person to take over the legendary Queen Vic pub. 

Janine (played by Charlie Brookes) recently shocked Mick with proof that his wife, Linda (Kellie Bright) was drinking again as she made it her mission to end his marriage once and for all.

One fan attempted to predict the plot as she suggested that we could see Mick murdered by Janine, in another of her wicked schemes. 

What’s next? Danny who has starred on the popular BBC soap since 2013, has allegedly signed up to a new drama series with Sky for a six-figure sum
