Coronation Street viewers were left fearing for Eliza Woodrow after she took a phone call from a mystery older man during Friday’s episode.
Eliza (Savannah Kunyo) has had a tough time of late after she was taken in by Stu Carpenter (Bill Fellows) after her mother Bridget (Beth Vyse) was sent to prison for murder, the same killing Stu had done time for despite not being involved in the crime.
It emerged Bridget was the actual culprit and her mother Lucy Woodrow (Lynda Rooke) had helped cover her daughter’s tracks.
Eliza was left devastated when she recently learned her mother was being transferred to a prison in another part of the country, meaning she would see less of her.
In a bid to cheer Eliza up, Stu bought her a new tablet, unaware he could be putting her in danger, with Eliza using it to contact the older man.

Breaking down in tears, she told the nurse: ”Just going back with a pack of tablets, in my hand, waiting. How long is it going to take, will it be days, hours?
‘Making tea, or doing the washing up and just waiting. Waiting for my baby to slip away.
‘I’m sorry, I can’t. I can’t do it. Please it’s just too much. I’m really sorry, you don’t understand.’
The nurse replied: ‘You lost a baby. I saw that in your notes. I’m so sorry Sarah.’
Fans shared their thoughts on social media, with one person writing: ‘This episode is tearing me apart.’
‘Tina O’Brien is incredible tonight,’ another added.
‘I know Sarah cheated but I do feel sorry for the character – no woman should have to go through the pain of losing a baby,’ someone else shared.

Speaking to The Mirror Tina recently revealed that she doesn’t think there is any going back for Sarah and her husband Adam.
‘I think she thought, he’s a solicitor. She’s usually the one that’s up and down. He can get very cross and angry but he’s generally kind of level headed. She wouldn’t have seen it coming from him.’
Tina thinks Sarah believes she will be able to talk him round, however the actress admitted ‘I think it’s the possibly final nail in the coffin in the department of trust.’
‘It’s clarified it for her, she wants her family and she wants her life back on track,’ explained Tina.
