Coronation Street reveals Daniel’s new horror after Jodie’s deception

Coronation Street‘s Daniel Osbourne is attacked by thugs in a dramatic first-look clip from next week’s episodes.

Daniel’s torment moves from online to the real world, as he becomes a target thanks to Jodie Ramsey’s vicious posts under the alias of ‘Truthteller’.

In next week’s episodes, Daniel looks forward to an enjoyable time taking his son Bertie for a day out alongside the youngster’s grandfather Ken Barlow.

The trip looks set to be briefly delayed when Bertie and Ken both insist on taking last-minute toilet trips at No.1, leaving Daniel outside to wait for them.

All of a sudden, Daniel is attacked by a pair of lads who were slyly watching him earlier on.

The unwelcome visitors throw paint at Daniel and film his reaction. It seems they’ve got the controversial content they were hoping for when Daniel lashes out in response, which could make his reputation online even worse…

Hit play below to see the scene in full:

Earlier this week, Corrie officially confirmed that Jodie is responsible for the malicious ‘Truthteller’ posts which are targeting Daniel.

The internet harassment has unfairly painted Daniel as complicit in Megan Walsh’s grooming of local teen Will Driscoll.

Jodie seems to be stirring up trouble so that Daniel is reliant on her friendship, as she doesn’t have anywhere to stay. Is it only a matter of time before Daniel realises that she has betrayed him?

“Jodie’s smear campaign against Daniel has spiralled out of control,” explains our Corrie source. “Now it’s not just her anonymous account dragging his name through the mud, as people are attacking him on the street based on lies over Megan. It’s beyond cruel…”

Upcoming scenes do see Jodie start to regret her ruthless tactics, especially when she finds out that Daniel’s troubles are starting to affect Bertie.

By this point, though, various other trolls have already joined in with her attacks – making the situation even more volatile.
