RYAN Connor's injuries were revealed in behind the scenes photos after the acid attack on Coronation Street.
Upcoming scenes on the ITV soap will see Ryan (Ryan Prescott) come to terms with his life-long injuries after protecting Daisy Midgley (Charlotte Jordan) from an acid attack.
Daisy's stalker storyline reached its epic conclusion in Monday night's episode.

However it seriously backfired when Ryan impulsively intervened to protect her.
Ryan fell to the floor screaming in agony as some of the acid began burning on his face and on Daisy’s skin.
