Coronation Street fans left shaking after "harrowing" episode as Ryan Connor was attacked by Justin in horror scenes.
The ITV soap aired some harrowing scenes this evening, as Justin took an even more evil turn and decided to throw acid at Daisy Midgeley on her wedding day in revenge for her rejecting his advances.
He has been stalking her ever since the pair met in a cancer treatment centre and what seemed to initially be like a harmless friendship soon turned into a harrowing ordeal for Daisy.
In shock scenes tonight, Ryan was hit by acid as Justin made a lunge for Daisy with the corrosive liquid.

"You think everybody wants you because you're so perfect, aren't you? Nobody's going to want you after this," he said as he threw the acid and Ryan jumped in, immediately screaming and clutching his face as the liquid hit him.

Actor Ryan recently told The Mirror that he will slowly realise the gravity of what has happened to him, as his life "changes forever".
He explained: "He's started seeing life will never be the same again, in which he's kind of trying to reach out and clutch on to whatever he can within his life that will allow him to deny this reality. One of them being Alya, this new love interest Crystal.
"As he sees these things slipping away he tries to reach out and grab a hold of them in desperation, but I think he knows."
He added: "As soon as something like this happens there are stages of acceptance and denial, but slowly bit by bit he starts to understand the gravity of his wounds and what has happened."
