Coronation Street slammed for horrifying acid-attack scenes as fans say soap has gone ‘too far’

CORONATION Street has been slammed by fans who accused bosses of going "too far" with a horrifying acid-attack storyline.

In last night’s Coronation Street episode Daisy Midgeley’s stalker Justin threw acid at her but ended up dousing Ryan Connor in disturbing and upsetting scenes.

As she stepped out ready to go to the wedding venue, Ryan told the one remaining drinker that it was time to go.

But as Daisy walked out she heard Justin (played by former Hollyoaks star Andrew Still) behind her, saying: “Look at you. 

“You think everyone wants you because you’re so perfect, don’t you? No-one’s going to want you after this.”

With that he threw a glass of liquid at Daisy by Ryan dived in the way not realising what it was.

He fell to the floor screaming in agony as some of the acid began burning on his face and on Daisy’s skin.

She crawled over to Ryan who was rolling around the floor in agony and grabbed her phone to call an ambulance.

Daisy dragged him into the back and into the bathroom and put him in the shower, holding the constant flow of water over his wounds.

She ran into the kitchen and grabbed scissors to cut away Ryan’s melting shirt but his howls of pain and anguish were too much for viewers.

They accused the soap of going too far with the storyline.

One wrote: "Can’t believe Coronation Street would air something like that! Shocking!"

A second said: "Difficult to watch that"

And a third said: "This is too much."

The police and ambulance quickly arrived with Daisy ripping into the detective for not stopping Justin before he went on to attack her.

After Ryan and Daisy were taken to hospital, news got to the wedding party and Daniel and Jenny rushed to be with her.

Alya soon followed to be with Ryan - but seeing Alya’s distress, Daisy went outside for some air.

She was horrified to see Justin staring at her - and ran to confront him.

He insisted he loved her so she manipulated him into opening his car and she then grabbed the keys, hit the horn and attacked him until the police arrived to arrest him.
