Coronation Street’s Ryan Connor to return with dark secret as he takes drastic action to cope with acid attack trauma
CORONATION Street’s Ryan Connor will return with a dark secret after fleeing the cobbles this week.
The barman – who is played by actor Ryan Prescott in the ITV soap – left Weatherfield suddenly after struggling to come to terms with his acid attack trauma.
He saved Daisy Midgeley from the attack by stalker Justin – but has ended up badly scarred by it.
The Sun can exclusively reveal how the barman will turn to steroids and social media in an effort to get his confidence back – and risk his health in the process.
Viewers saw a hint of Ryan’s displeasure with his looks before he left this week.
He was seen looking at his body in the mirror – and despite clearly having abs – he slapped his stomach and looked crestfallen with what he saw.
But after spending time with his mum Michelle in Ireland, Ryan will return with a dangerous plan.
A source said: “Ryan has been through a horrible time and his struggles aren’t going away.
“He’s always relied on his good looks to get him through life and now he’s struggling to come to terms with not having them anymore.
“He can’t do anything about his scarring but he can turn his body into a ripped gym-honed version of itself.
“However with everything that’s gone on, he’s going to try to take a short cut and use steroids to kickstart his body transformation.
“They come with huge downsides and Ryan’s going to be risking a lot just to make himself look better on social media.
“There a real dangers with using these black market drugs and Ryan will plunge deeper and deeper just for some online clout from his headless torso selfies.”
Viewers will see Ryan court online attention with his new anonymous social media accounts.
He’s set to hide his face and scars while showing off his body in a bid to get his confidence back.
