All eyes were on Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) in Monday’s (September 25) episode of Coronation Street as his friends and family discovered what he’s been up to online.
A few months ago, Ryan started an account on a subscription-only website. After initially sending intimate photographs, Ryan then decided to start livestreaming his subscribers, all while receiving money for the content.
Throughout this whole storyline, Ryan has been using a filter on his face so his followers cannot see his facial scars. However, after an issue with the filter during his latest video, Ryan’s identity was revealed.

When Suki from the Gazette arrived, she explained that she had seen some screenshots of the videos and will soon be publishing an article on it. Ryan did his best to stop his secret from being exposed, but he wasn’t able to.
Entering the pub, the likes of Sean (Antony Cotton) and Glenda (Jodie Prenger) stared at their phones with wide eyes. Some of the residents joked and laughed, while Carla (Alison King) pointed out the severity of what Ryan was doing. Back at the flat, Ryan reacted with anger as Carla tried to get him to close the account down.
She argued that the videos and images were degrading, but Ryan pointed out that starting the account has made him feel something else other than ‘utter despair’ following his acid attack.
The trouble continued in Underworld as Ryan shouted at Carla when he discovered that she had phoned Michelle (Kym Marsh) about the site. Ryan was facing a whirlwind of emotions and told Carla to back off, leaving her shaken from his fury.
In Victoria Garden, Ryan was found by Daisy (Charlotte Jordan). Daisy told Ryan that he shouldn’t hide behind a filter because his facial scars are now part of him and that people think he’s ‘gorgeous’.
Back at Carla’s, Ryan apologised for his behaviour and said that he’s happy with what he’s doing online. Once again, Carla tried to point out that it was another representation he wasn’t coping but Ryan didn’t want to listen.
He said that he would stay at a hotel this evening and then find another flat elsewhere, but will things get even worse now he’s all on his own?
