Daisy Midgeley terrified as stalker Justin steps up his harassment in Coronation Street
AS she prepares her nuptials with Daniel Osbourne, Daisy Midgeley faces extreme danger.
Her stalker Justin is seemingly determined to make her life in Coronation Street increasingly difficult.
The beloved Rovers barmaid played by Charlotte Jordan has not only been focusing on her upcoming wedding but has also dedicated time to her social media presence.
In scenes due to air on ITV, Daisy tells her fiancé Daniel (Rob Mallard) and her estranged mother Christina (newcomer and TV legend Amy Robbins) that she intends to drum up some freebies for her wedding through her social marketing.
But this won’t have the perks she was hoping for.
When Daniel calls at Preston’s Petals, asking Tracy Barlow if she’ll provide the wedding flowers free of charge, the florist is seriously unimpressed.
Christina is just as unhappy as Daisy shows her a photo of the freebie wedding dress she’s managed to find.
Unfortunately for Daisy, becoming an increasingly prominent figure only has its downsides as her stalker ordeal picks up a pace.
She receives several messages on her phone from Justin (former Hollyoaks star Andrew Still) asking why she blocked him.
Daisy immediately deletes the messages, clearly worried and, in later scenes, opens up to Glenda Shuttleworth, admitting Justin is proving to be a pest.
Glenda (Jodie Prenger) encourages Daisy to talk to Daniel about her situation before taking it up to Christina and Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews).
Can the women really help Daisy?
Although preoccupied for her own safety, and after having blocked Justin online, Daisy gleefully posts on social media – without making sure her location remains secret.
While at the wedding fair, which Daniel fails to attend, she shares a selfie, unaware there’s a poster in the background.
She soon realises her mistake as she tries on a wedding dress.
The owner of the stall tells her that her fiancé has arrived and Daisy is mortified when she finds Justin, who reveals he saw her selfie online.
Things go from bad to worse when it’s clear Justin is convinced they’re engaged and she threatens to call the police.
Later on in the Rovers, Daisy finally explains the ordeal to Daniel… before Glenda emerges with a funeral arrangement of flowers for her.
Daisy assumes they must be from Justin and her fear grows.

Again, Justin goes the extra mile when he comes face to face with Daisy and Daniel.
He promptly jumps in his delivery van and roars off.
But Daniel has had enough of him terrorising his other half and, after spotting him on the Street, he warns him to stay away from Daisy.
A deluded Justin, instead, tells Daisy that he’s prepared to back off to give her time to break the news to Daniel that she doesn’t love him any more.
Once again, Daisy shows no hint of good judgement when she posts another selfie to show off a sample wedding invitation, giving Justin every opportunity to crash the ceremony…
What does Justin have planned for Daisy?
