Coronation Street acid attack twist leaves fans ‘in tears’ during disturbing scene

Corrie fans were left ‘screaming’ at their TVs after an emotional and disturbing plot twist in last night’s episode.

The dramatic scene saw Ryan Connor hit with a full glass of acid intended for bride Daisy Medley at her wedding, as she prepared to marry Daniel Osborne, with the scenes aired on Monday March 27th.

After the couple’s wedding car had been stolen, Ryan stepped in to act as chauffeur on her special day. As the DJ entered The Rovers Return to collect barmaid Daisy, the pair were stunned to see her stalker ex, Justin Rutherford, lurking there.

Justin approached the bride telling her that no one else would want her after this as he held a clear glass of liquid in his hand. As he went to chuck it at Daisy with full force, Ryan jumped across to block her and was left screaming on the floor in agony as his skin burned.

Daisy immediately called ‘999’ and followed the instructions of the operator as she proceeded to drag Ryan to the shower and turned the water on as she desperately searched for a pair of scissors to cut his shirt from him.

In unexpected shock, fans of the soap opera took to social media to applaud the actors’ performances in the harrowing episode which had watchers gripped to the edge of their seats and left in floods of tears.

One fan wrote: “This episode has really agonised me because I seen what acid attacks can do but thank goodness the face wasn’t harmed to Daisy and I feel so upset for Ryan.

“But you know what, this has been one of the best episodes of Corrie in 60 years and most importantly I got to applaud Ryan, Justin and Daisy for their amazing performances! 10/10.”

A second put: “Ryan’s screams went straight through to my soul. Absolutely agonising and heartbreaking to watch but incredible acting by both Ryan and Daisy.” A third added: “World class screen play from all tonight. Brutal.”

Someone found the screams chilling as they typed: “Usually acting doesn’t get to me but Ryan’s screams, I had to turn down the volume…haunting. Award winning acting.” And another was left in tears as they said: “Amazing acting tonight me and mum in tears.”

The soap set on the cobbles was praised for its standard of acting, with another fan saying: “Very powerful episode. I never moved the full hour, well done @coronationstreet.”
