Coronation Street star Ryan Prescott has issued a statement to fans as he defended the soap‘s recent ‘scary’ storyline. Scenes this week have seen Ryan Connor take the brunt of an acid attack intended for barmaid Daisy Midgeley.
Daisy was confronted by stalker Justin on her wedding day. But Ryan came between Daisy and Justin, and ended up with a faceful of acid.
As Justin fled, Daisy rushed Ryan into the shower and poured cold water over his wounds. Current scenes on the show have seen Ryan in hospital, having his injuries treated. Justin was subsequently arrested, after being tracked down by Daisy.
In Wednesday night’s episode, Daisy visited Ryan in his hospital room. Bandaged over the side of his face and body, Ryan was downcast and dismissive.
Some viewers spoke out against the soap for going ‘too far’ with its upsetting storyline – slamming the soap for including yet another miserable story. However, actor Ryan Prescott has defended the story in a social media post issued today.
