Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan has thanked fans for their praise after harrowing scenes which saw her character Daisy Midgeley targeted with acid by stalker Justin Rutherford. Bride Daisy was seen going through a myriad of emotions after twisted Justin turned up at the Rovers Return just as she was setting off for her wedding day in Monday night's episode.
As she was locking up the pub with Ryan Connor, who stepped in as her chauffeur, Jutin stepped out of the shadows with a clear glass of liquid and hurled it in her direction. Devastatingly it was Ryan who took the force of the acid as he stepped in.
After dialling 999, a frantic Daisy got Ryan into the shower under running cold water and cut the shirt off his back. In a heartbreaking exchange with DS Swain, the barmaid, who had a stalking protection order rejected, pointed out how many times she had reported Justin. "You knew everything about him and he was still free to do this," she seethed.
