Coronation Street viewers shared their shock online tonight (Monday) as an acid attack storyline was brought to life on screen. The ITV soap saw Ryan Connor take the full force of a glass of acid intended for bride Daisy Midgeley on her wedding day, in scenes some have termed 'horrendous'.
As Daisy prepared to marry Daniel Osbourne, Ryan stepped in to act as chauffeur after the wedding car was stolen. When the DJ went into the Rovers Return pub for barmaid Daisy, the pair were shocked to find her stalker Justin Rutherford inside.
Justin advanced on Daisy holding a glass full of clear liquid, telling her that no one would want her after this. As he threw the acid at Daisy, Ryan quickly stepped in between them and he was left screaming in agony on the floor, his skin burning, reports the Manchester Evening News.
