This person was going to kill his mother whatever his "inspiration". 99.999% of Corrie viewers got through the episode without murdering someone. Statistically, it shouldn't even be considered as a factor.
Spot on Studio, the majority of people realise that its not real its only make believe, and as you say this lad suddenly didn't become a nutter of night, there's been failings along the line, like there is in most cases like this blaming a TV program is the easy way out
