Corrie's Ryan Connor star on how shocking acid attack scenes were filmed and character's future revealed

Viewers were left in tears over harrowing Coronation Street scenes which saw Ryan Connor take the full force of a glass of acid intended for bride Daisy Midgeley. As Daisy prepared to marry Daniel Osbourne in tonight's Corrie (March 27), Ryan stepped in as a chauffeur after the wedding car was stolen.

DJ Ryan, played by Ryan Prescott, had been set to make a fresh start in Ibiza when he went into the Rovers Return for barmaid Daisy. But the pair were shocked to find her stalker Justin Rutherford lurking there. 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 writhing in agony on the floor, his skin burning. Daisy called 999 and, having listened to the operator’s instructions, dragged Ryan into the shower and turned the water on. Finding scissors, a frantic Daisy cut the shirt off his back.
