Coronation Street fans were left siding with Daniel Osbourne, as he pushed Max Turner down a flight of stairs after the teenager broke into his teacher's home.
The tense showdown came after David Platt was forced to tell son Max about the harrowing sexual assault after Daniel alluded to the ordeal in a conversation with Max after a consent workshop.
On Tuesday, vengeful Max broke into Daniel's flat and tore through the place, even breaking a clay imprint of late wife Sinead's hands next to Daniel and their son Bertie's hand-prints.
