Watch horrifying moment Coronation Street’s Daniel Osbourne crashes stolen car while drunk
DANIEL Osbourne made a dangerous mistake by crashing a stolen car while under the influence in Coronation Street.
Daniel (Rob Mallard) spiraled into a drunken mess after a row with his girlfriend Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), leading him to make a disastrous decision in tonight’s episode of Coronation Street.
Bethany was left gobsmacked when she discovered that Daniel had given her clothes to his ex-fiancée, Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan), instead of donating them to a charity shop as she had requested.
Despite Daniel’s efforts to convince Bethany that he was acting in her best interests, Bethany was left fuming over his secrecy and his continued friendship with his ex-fiancée.
Daniel was left at the Rovers Return pub, drinking himself into oblivion.
Daisy demanded he went home to sleep it off, after starting arguments with other Weatherfield residents.
But Daniel decided to steal a car and drive it instead, while Daisy watched in horror.
Daniel crashed the car into a wall, but managed to get out unscathed.
However, he panicked, fearing that he would go down for drunk driving and have his son Bertie taken away from him, forcing Daisy to take matters into her own hands.
Daisy ordered Daniel to go back to the pub, while she drove the car away from the street.
When she got back, she told Daniel to never mention the night’s events.
The next morning, copper Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) was on a mission to find the stolen car.
He was convinced it was joy riders, until he saw CCTV footage of Daisy driving the car.
Will Daisy continue to cover for Daniel when she is questioned by Kit?
Meanwhile, Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) suffered a painful arm injury, but it’s unclear how she ended up hurt. Did she get caught up in the crash?
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and is available to stream from 7am on ITVX.
Biggest soap stunts
Soaps are no stranger to dramatic stunts in the storylines. Not only do these moments create a spectacle for viewers, they also fundamentally change characters’ lives.
Here is a look at some of the biggest soap stunts from over the years.
CORONATION STREET
- Tram crash (2010): The ITV soap marked its 50th anniversary with a intense tram crash – and live episode to boot. Overall, the crash and its effects were broadcast across a week in December 2010. Its resulting chaos saw regular characters Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold) and Molly Dobbs (Vicky Binns) die.
- Richard Hillman tries to kill the Platts (2003): Of all the men unlucky-in-love Gail tied the knot with, Richard Hillman (Brian Capron) is probably the one she regrets most in hindsight. In 2003, murderer Richard tried to kill his step-family: first by gassing them with car fumes and then driving Gail (Helen Worth), Sarah (Tina O’Brien), David (Jack P. Shepherd) and Bethany (Amy and Emily Walton) into a canal.
EASTENDERS
- Queen Vic fire (2010): In September 2010, EastEnders bid farewell to matriarch Peggy Mitchell (Barbara Windsor) as a permanent fixture on the soap – she returned as a guest before the character’s death in 2016. In the build-up to her initial exit, Peggy had trapped crack cocaine-addicted son Phil (Steve McFadden) in the Queen Vic. However, he escaped and set the boozer on fire.
- Bus crash (2017): In April 2017, a total of 11 Albert Square residents had their lives at risk in a terrifying bus crash. The stunt saw a double decker bus – the 764 to Barking – lose control and crash through the Albert Square market before hitting a low-level bridge. Notable passengers at the time included Denise Fox (Diane Parish) and Louise Mitchell (Tilly Keeper).
EMMERDALE
- James Barton’s death (2016): Interestingly about James’ (Bill Ward) death was that it came in a spiral of events. After wife Emma (Gillian Kearney) locked James up in a jealous rage, he escaped and they tussled on a bridge over the bypass. Emma pushed him and James fell into traffic, in turn causing a 12-vehicle pile up, As well as James dying, key characters including Ashley Thomas (John Middleton) and Rhona Goskirk (Zoe Henry) were injured.
