Coronation Street airs shock exit for fan favourite Ryan Connor
CORONATION Street has aired a shock exit for acid attack survivor Ryan Connor.
The barman – who is played by actor Ryan Prescott in the ITV soap – has been struggling since he was doused with acid by Daisy Midgeley’s stalker Justin earlier this year.
He was left badly burned on the side of his face and his neck by the attack.
Viewers watched recently as Ryan turned a corner with his confidence and returned to work at the Bistro.
However a series of nasty customers and an embarrassing incident with a wine seller saw Ryan feel humiliated.
Tonight he quit his job and decided to go and stay with his mum Michelle at her new home.
“My flight gets in late so pick me up if you can, I just don’t want to shell out for a cab,” he told his mum on the phone as he packed his bags.
“I love you too.”
Outside, Carla said goodbye to her nephew with Ryan telling her: “You guys have really looked out for me, and I know I must have done your head in at times.”
She told him: “Give your mum a big kiss for me and tell her I know all about her new hot tub and I’m coming to get in it.”
Fans are in shock at Ryan’s sudden exit.
One wrote: “Ryan’s gone.”
A second said: “Ryan has gone to stay with Michelle – I hope his temporary exit isn’t too long. Michelle needs to come back some point. I miss her character.”
However The Sun can confirm that Ryan will return soon.
