Amy Barlow turned to alcohol after Aaron Sandford left Weatherfield following an emotional conversation with the Coronation Street stalwart where he finally acknowledged his guilt.
Aaron (James Craven) told Amy ( Elle Mulvaney ) last week that he had decided to drop his libel case against her, which was instigated when she accused him of being a rapist in an online blog post.
The mechanic began to question his innocence when Amy's family were prepared to sell everything they owned to support their daughter.
