Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan has thanked fans for their praise after harrowing scenes which saw her character Daisy Midgeley targeted with acid by stalker Justin Rutherford. Bride Daisy was seen going through a myriad of emotions after twisted Justin turned up at the Rovers Return just as she was setting off for her wedding day in Monday night's episode.
As she was locking up the pub with Ryan Connor, who stepped in as her chauffeur, Jutin stepped out of the shadows with a clear glass of liquid and hurled it in her direction. Devastatingly it was Ryan who took the force of the acid as he stepped in.
After dialling 999, a frantic Daisy got Ryan into the shower under running cold water and cut the shirt off his back. In a heartbreaking exchange with DS Swain, the barmaid, who had a stalking protection order rejected, pointed out how many times she had reported Justin. "You knew everything about him and he was still free to do this," she seethed.

Daisy, who was pursued by Justin ever since they met at the hospital as she waited for test results over a cancer scare and was kind to him, was also distraught as she blamed herself. "It wasn't meant for him, it was meant for me," she told her stepmum Jenny Connor. "It's my fault. I moved this to the next level."
As Daisy waited at the hospital for news on Ryan, she spotted Justin staring at her from his car parked outside. In an emotional final confrontation she kept him talking until police swooped and arrested him on suspicion of GBH.
Impressed viewers tipped Charlotte, co-star Ryan Prescott who plays Ryan and the soap to win awards.
