Coronation Street star Ryan Prescott has teased a “dark road” ahead for his character Ryan Connor following his horrific acid attack.
Over the past few months, ITV viewers have watched his character struggle to come to terms with his facial scar after he was hit with acid when Daisy’s evil stalker Justin tried to ruin her wedding day in the Rovers Return.
Following his attack, his current girlfriend Crystal called it quits with him and he faced a second refusal after he tried to connect with his ex Alya Nazir.

When asked how his character will adjust to life with a facial scar, Ryan explained: “I think Ryan is largely in this place of denial about who he is and what’s happened since the trauma of the acid attack.
“And I think that could go any way, I think that he’s trying to find himself again and I think that he’s trying to find his place back into society and that proves to be very hard for him this year.
“He does get very focused on something that helps alleviate those symptoms but it does take him down a darker road.”

It comes as Ryan has been growing closer to his former flame even though the barmaid has been catfishing him as his ex Crystal.
The actor hinted that his relationship with Daisy could blossom into something more as the weeks go on despite the fact that she is engaged to Daniel Osbourne.
He hinted: “When you’ve been through something as traumatic as that, it does bond you in a way and I don’t think Daisy or Ryan were expecting to see something there but there definitely is.

“It could play out in many ways. Obviously she’s in a relationship with Daniel, engaged and soon to be married, and I think Ryan has respect for Daniel as well.
“So I think it’s something that she knows is very awkward and very complicated but there are feelings there.”
