Ryan Connor terrified as he relives acid attack horror for Justin’s trial in Coronation Street
JUSTIN Rutherford is facing justice for attacking Daisy Midgeley and injuring Ryan Connor.
But the Coronation Street waiter played by Ryan Prescott finds it excruciatingly hard to face his attack in court.
Will Justin get the comeuppance he deserves for his vile actions? ITV viewers could find out next week as Andrew Still's on-screen alter ego faces justice.
But the trial is no easy feat for Ryan Connor who, along with Carla Connor (Alison King) is appalled to see Justin's sister Karen in the Rovers and a furious row ensues.
Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) learns to be more lenient, particularly as Karen offers her support but an angry Ryan throws insults and reminds the barmaid how she went out of her way to split him up from Alya Nazir.
Ryan later leaves for court, ready for justice to be brought to him and Daisy, but when Karen admits she passed on what she gleaned about Daisy's history of manipulation to Justin's lawyer, he becomes too distressed to go to court.

Noticing his absence, Carla desperately tries to call him while Daisy calls at the Street Cars flat.
Ryan reveals to Daisy that Karen had been spying on them all along.
Daisy is stunned but soon begs him to reconsider not taking a stand against Justin as, without him, her tormentor could walk free.
Without Ryan to back her up, Daisy is left beside herself which prompts her other half Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) to take some action of his own.
