Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan has said that her character Daisy will be "heartbroken" when she learns the truth about Ryan's (Ryan Prescott) steroid use.
In scenes airing tonight, Ryan shocks Daisy when he flips out at Gav (Noah Olaoye) for accidentally spraying him with a drink, triggering a flashback to his acid attack.
"They go for a walk, and Ryan gets some water splashed on him, and he just totally snaps," explained Jordan.
"I think Daisy does instantly realise that it put him back in the mental state of when the acid attack happened. So she does say to him, 'it's not real, it's okay'.
"But she doesn't really understand quite why he's so aggressive. He's ready to beat people to a pulp. And that's not obviously the sort of person he is normally, and there have been previous displays of aggression and snappy behaviour. She's not too sure what's going on, but she's determined to find out."
Later, Ryan admits to her that he has been taking steroids for some time in order to gain a sense of self-control, leaving her devastated.
"She's just heartbroken for him again, like with the distance she put between them to try and save her and Daniel's relationship," Jordan continued. "She just feels responsible all over again.
"But she also knows that no-one's really getting through to him at the minute, and you can't help someone if they don't want to help themselves. So she just says, 'look, you call me when you're ready to have these conversations and you're ready to change the things you're doing. This isn't who you are.'"
Coronation Street continues tonight at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
