In last night’s episode of Coronation Street (Monday March 27, 2023), the Rovers became the scene of an acid attack.
As Daisy’s stalker, Justin, threw acid at the bride to be, Ryan jumped in front of Daisy and got hit with acid.
Now, Coronation Street fans have branded the ‘harrowing’ scenes the best episode ever.
Coronation Street: Justin’s acid attack
On Daisy’s wedding day, Ryan and Daisy got ready to lock up the Rovers before making their way to the wedding venue.
Ryan had stepped in to be Daisy’s chauffeur after her wedding car was nicked.
However, as they were about to lock up, Justin revealed himself to be sitting in the pub.
He told Daisy that nobody would want her after this, before throwing a glass of acid at her.
Ryan dived in front of Daisy and became covered in acid whilst Justin rushed off. Daisy also was hit by the acid, but it was Ryan that suffered severe burns across his face.
The wedding was forgotten as Daisy focused on ringing an ambulance for Ryan whilst covering him with water in the shower.
With Ryan later in hospital, Justin turned up. He told Daisy that he wanted to ruin her looks so that he could get rid of all of the superficial love interests. That would leave him to care for her.
Daisy confronted Justin and was able to stall him so that the police could arrest him.
Fans brand ‘harrowing’ scenes best episode ever
Coronation Street have praised the soap for its portrayal of such a hard hitting storyline.
