🔥 DANIEL OSBORNE’S BL0OD LUST: DARK SIDE EXPLODES AS HE VOWS A DOUBLE MUR*DER ON THE COBBLES 🔪

Look out, Coronation Street. The Demon Headmaster is coming out to play.

Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) is a man at breaking point.He was devastated to discover that his girlfriend Megan Walsh (Beth Nixon) was only ever dating him to hide her predatory grooming of an underage student, Will Driscoll (Lucas Hodgson-Wale).

This was especially embarrassing for Daniel, as he was the one who employed her. Megan was one in a long line of ‘damsels in distress’ which he had chosen to rescue, only for it to all blow up in his faceHis first wife Sinead Tinker (Katie McGlynn) tragically died of cancer, Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) cheated on him, and his engagement to Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) fell apart due to his inability to get over Daisy.

Worse still, the explosive aftermath of Megan’s exposure as a child-abuser is starting to affect the troubled headmaster’s job. When Hope Stape wrote a mocking poem about Megan’s relationship with Daniel at school, he exploded in a rage and tried to snatch the poem out of her hand. This resulted in Hope accusing Mister Osbourne of assault and Mrs Crenshaw suspending him from Weatherfield High.

Ashamed and disgraced, Daniel hid his suspension from his family and lied about ‘planning to visit the Lakes,’ when in fact, he was spiralling in the flat and drowning his sorrows.

Just when you think things couldn’t get any worse for the tortured intellectual, he’s apparently taking in strays.

And not just any strays. We’re talking about bunny-boiling baddie Jodie Ramsey (Olivia Frances-Brown).

After her vengeful plan to punish her sister Shona (Julia Goulding) by seducing her husband David (Jack P Shepherd) ended in disaster, Jodie was left without a roof over her head.

So like any completely sane person, she snuck into Daniel’s flat and when he caught her red-handed, threatened to tell his family about his little drunken pity parties unless he basically let her claim squatters’ rights. Still a better love story than Twilight…

But this unlikely pair forge a surprising connection now that Daniel has been targeted by a vicious online troll going by the name ‘Truthteller’.

The vile online posts suggest that Daniel knew all along about Megan grooming Will,and that he was once guilty of grooming Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) . Jodie suggested that Megan herself might be the troll.

This wass, of course, classic gaslighting. Because as yesterday’s episode revealed, the identity of Truthteller is… drum roll…

…. Jodie

Presumably, Jodie is trolling Daniel to keep him spiralling and therefore keep a roof over her own head.

This is about to backfire big time in upcoming episodes of Corrie, where Jodie’s toxic social media posts send Daniel over the edge when they start to negatively impact his son Bertie.

Stressed, Daniel confides in his father Ken (William Roache) that Bertie’s being bullied as a result of Truthteller’s trolling and he intends to confront whoever is responsible.

Meanwhile in the flat, Jodie reads Daniel’s furious reply to the post. When Daniel enters and demands to know what she is looking at. Has Jodie been caught out?

Unable to sleep, Daniel scrolls through all the vile posts. Jodie points out that Truthteller doesn’t appear to have posted for a while and it would seem other trolls have jumped on the bandwagon.

She’s not kidding.

On his way to No.1, Daniel is ambushed by two youths who pelt him with paint and hurl insults. This makes Daniel explode in rage as he threatens to kill the lads… who unfortunately, film his reaction.

Then Daniel finally hits breaking point in Speed Daal when he sees Idris laughing at the footage of him getting painted by the thugs.

Has Jodie pushed Daniel too far?
