ITV Coronation Street newcomer teases 'twists' in Ryan Connor's acid attack recovery amid predicted 'romance'

Coronation Street's newest star Erin Austen has teased what is to come amid Ryan Connor's acid attack recovery. Viewers of the ITV soap saw Crystal appear on the cobbles last month when she got chatting to Ryan and Daisy Midgeley in the Bistro.

It soon came to light that Crystal was a club promoter in Ibiza and Ryan's eyes lit up as he revealed he'd seen her out there during his own time DJing on the island. She handed him his business card and after revealing to former girlfriend Alya Nazir that he'd been offered a job, she told him she was happy for him and Ryan saw it as a sign that she wasn't interested in anything romantic and took the job.

He also started to get cosy with Crystal but Ryan's world was turned upside down when he was involved in a horrific acid attack. The character, played by Ryan Prescott, found himself in the crossfire when Daisy's stalker Justin Rutherford returned to Weatherfield after months of harassing the barmaid.

The menacing character, played by Andrew Still, was lurking in the shadows at the Rovers Return as Ryan and Daisy, played by Charlotte Jordan, locked up the pub ahead of her wedding to Daniel Osbourne. Donning her wedding dress and ready to head to the venue to marry her fiancé, Daisy's blood ran cold when she heard Justin's voice.

After suggesting things were too perfect for her, Justin hurled acid in Daisy's direction. But in a shocking twist Ryan jumped in and was left writhing and screaming. Daisy, who was also caught by the acid as Justin barged his way out of the pub, called 999 and was instructed to get him into the shower.
