The mum of murdered Alice Ruggles hopes Coronation Street's harrowing stalking storyline will make perpetrators aware of the fear and devastation they cause.
Over recent weeks viewers of the ITV soap have watched barmaid Daisy Midgeley, played by Charlotte Jordan, being terrorised by obsessive stranger, Justin.
After a chance meeting in a hospital waiting room the stalker, played by Andrew Still, bombards Daisy with messages and unwanted gifts, follows her and even lets himself into her home.
