A couple of months ago, Coronation Street fans’ hearts were breaking for Johnny Connor, as he struggled with the awful shock of son Aidan killing himself.
But sympathy for the grieving dad has run out and now many have a few choice words for him.
While his erratic and aggressive behaviour was forgiven for a while, the tide has changed.
He’s taken his frustrations out on poor Jenny consistently, pushing her away while embarking on an affair with Liz McDonald.

And this week we saw him raise a fist to his wife, before snatching his granddaughter Susie from her cot, leaving mum Eva in a desperate panic.
Johnny hid out in a hotel and confided in Liz about what he’d done, suggesting they run away together and raise the baby.
But Liz did the decent thing and raised the alarm to police.
Johnny was apprehended as he collapsed by the canal, and when Liz came to see him in hospital he cruelly dumped her, telling her he would never forgive her for betraying him.
Meanwhile, he’d told Jenny that it was her that he wanted to be with.
Is he a man mad with grief making decisions and hurting the people he cares about in a way he wouldn’t normally?

Clearly, but fans of the soap are in no mood to make allowances.
One raged on Twitter: “Johnny is the scum of the earth. He’s used both Liz and Jenny.”
Another wrote: “Johnny Connor is doing my head in #corrie Liz and Jenny you’re both better off without him # selfishsoandso”
A third said: “That numpty Johnny is so vengeful and spiteful he does not deserve to even see the baby he is so full of hate.
“And as usual he is thinking only of himself, like Monday night when he jumped from Jenny and wanted to move in with Liz? Manipulative sod!!! Eva gets the baby!”

So what does the future hold for the obviously deeply troubled Johnny? Will he go to prison? Will Jenny stand by him? Some viewers are speculating that she might kill him or Liz for their affair!
