Fans of the the long running soap opera, set in Yorkshire and filmed in Leeds, have been calling for a 'major change' as the character of Dan makes things 'worse'. Tonight's episode saw Dan Spencer, portrayed by actor Liam Fox, visit a hospital where a man who he punched was lying in a coma.

Ryan Glendenning said: "Dan, you're making things a whole lot worse. If you know what is best for you you'll stay away."
