Coronation Street: Daisy admits she doesn’t know if she wants to marry Daniel

Daisy Midgeley admitted she doesn’t know if she wants to marry Daniel Osbourne anymore after he put her court case at risk in Coronation Street.

Daisy had been left in fear after being stalked by Justin Rutherford and the ongoing storyline culminated in a dramatic court case during Friday’s episode.

However, she wasn’t granted a stalking protection order against Justin after he arrived in a neck brace and told the court Daniel had attacked him the night before.

Daisy was left furious after learning that Daniel had jeopardised her court case and admitted that she needed some space from her partner as her stalker hell continued.

As the tense episode came to a close, she dropped the bombshell that she didn’t know if she wanted to marry Daniel (Rob Mallard) anymore as their future hangs in the balance.

An emotional Daisy (Charlotte Jordan) was near tears as she confessed: ‘I don’t know if I want to marry you anymore.’

The drama kicked off earlier in the episode when Daisy was seen in court in a bid to get a stalking protection order against Justin (Andrew Still).

She bravely opened up in court about her horrific stalking ordeal, with her fiancé Daniel sitting nearby to support her, while Justin was nowhere to be seen.

She told the court: ‘My life has been destroyed by the actions of the respondent Justin Rutherford. We met a few months ago at a hospital and since then, he has become obsessed with me. 

‘I been totally clear and told him I do not want any sort of relationship with him, but he ignores everything I say. 

‘I’m engaged to someone else, and we’re supposed to be planning my wedding but he harasses me online and in person. It’s sucking all the joy out of what should be the happiest time of my life.

‘I can’t turn on my phone without getting bombarded with messages. He won’t leave me alone and I am scared all the time. He found out where I live and sends me flowers with delusional notes, he hangs around my street waiting to see me. 

‘I work in a pub and he comes in there, he pretended to be my fiancé to get into a wedding fair where I was. He got a job as a delivery driver in my area just so he could get my phone number and hound me with calls.

‘He contacted my mother and took her out just to get close to me and he let himself into my house. You can see him on the doorbell camera, it’s all on file.

‘It’s relentless, I don’t feel safe and I need some help, please.’

However, things then took a turn as Justin arrived in court wearing a black neck brace and mumbled his apologies for being late, with Daisy looking shocked.

Taking his turn in the stand, Justin then denied being a stalker and claimed the situation had gotten ‘out of hand’ as he gave excuses for his actions.

He said: ‘I’m sorry but this thing is a whole misunderstanding that’s got out of hand… I just keep bumping into her, not on purpose. I work as a delivery driver so I have been on her street a few times. 

‘And like I said, we knew each other so connected on social media. I did go into her house but it was only because I was worried about her. I thought her fiancé was jealous and he might have done something to her.’

Daisy was then left completely shocked after Justin revealed Daniel’s attack on him the night before.

He continued: ‘And ever since then I have tried to steer clear but last night, I was finishing my deliveries when him and this guy did this to me. 

‘I went to A&E, they thought I might have said some cracked ribs, they’re just badly bruised thankfully. That’s why I was late today, I have my discharge form here. I’m sorry Daisy’s upset but I am not a stalker, if anything I am the victim here.’

Daisy was left concerned that his actions could change the outcome of her court case, and she was proven right as the judges returned with their verdict.

Ruling that the criteria for a stalking protection order had not been made, they said: ‘This is a civil application in a criminal court and therefore the case must be proven beyond reasonable doubt.’

Daisy jumped up and fumed: ‘Why? I’ve told you everything and it’s all true. You’re making a mistake, I’m telling you, he is dangerous.’

Later, after returning home, Daisy asked Daniel how he could have put her court case at risk as she begged him to explain his actions, accusing him of making her look like a ‘liar’.

She asked: ‘Can you explain, how you could do this to me?’

‘He is still out there! You are going to go and do something stupid again,’ she added.

To which Daniel hit back with: ‘That’s not fair, you hit him too remember.’

But Daisy said: ‘That’s not fair, I was scared, and I still am. My life is falling apart and it was supposed to be sorted today.’ 

Daisy then stormed out in tears only to be greeted by Justin, who was sinisterly lurking outside her doorway. 

He said: ‘I just wanted to see how you were.’

But seeing Justin, Daniel fumed: ‘What are you doing in here? Get out! Now!’

Justin told Daisy: ‘They want to push us apart, we need to be together.’

He went on: ‘Give us a chance, we could have an amazing time together. Don’t marry him Daisy, I’m only looking out for you.’

But Daisy insisted: ‘I am marrying Daniel because I love him.’

Justin said: ‘You love me, you know you do.’

However, Daisy said: ‘I will never love you!’

After returning to their flat, Daisy said she had only said everything was OK between her and Daniel to keep Justin at bay.

Daniel assured her: ‘The important thing is we’re OK.’ 

But she replied: ‘We are so far from OK.’ 

‘I said those things for Justin to go away. This nightmare is going to carry on now and it is all your fault,’ she added.

Daniel begged: ‘I made a mistake.’

But Daisy insisted: ‘You ruined everything.’ 

‘I would feel safe right now if it wasn’t for you and your macho heroics,’ she added.

Daisy then refused to return home with Daniel and asked him to leave as she remained devastated by his actions.

Later returning to speak to Daisy, Daniel assured her that he would return the next day to check on her, but Daisy asked him not to. 

She said: ‘I’m sorry but I need some space, cos right now I just don’t know about us.’ 

To which Daniel asked: ‘What are you saying?’

And Daisy confessed: ‘I don’t know if I want to marry you anymore.’

Their future hangs in the balance as it remains to be seen whether the couple will overcome the obstacle and make it down the aisle.

It comes after Daniel and Justin came to blows outside the pub after Justin said Daisy would be better off with cancer than engaged to Daniel.

Daniel then saw red and launched himself at Justin resulting in a dramatic end to the show. 

Earlier in Wednesday’s episode, fearful that Justin may have found out the date of their wedding, Daisy called the venue and rescheduled. 

The owner of the boutique then called at the pub and told Daisy that they’ve had a call from Justin accusing her of assault and they’re no longer prepared to lend her a dress as the publicity could damage their reputation. 

Daisy was gutted and when Daniel makes light of it Daisy was furious and stormed off. 

Back at No.1, she heard the doorbell and when she checked her app was horrified to see it was Justin. 

Daisy ordered him to clear off but when she returned to the living room, she was shocked to find Justin standing there having got in the back door. 

Doing her best to remain calm, Daisy asked Justin to leave. 

But her words fell on deaf ears as deluded Justin talked through their wedding plans.

Daniel then arrived home and was shocked to see Justin and called the police. 

At No.1 Craig then explained that unfortunately the only thing Justin was guilty of is trespass which isn’t a criminal offence.

Later Daniel’s clocked Justin lurking outside the pub and they came to blows.   

Daniel actor Rob Mallard talked about stunt scenes and seeking revenge after the episode.

Asked what the fight scenes were like to film he said: ‘It was good fun, I’ve not had the chance to do anything like that for a while so it was nice to do something physical. 

‘We had a fight arranger and a great director and it was shot on the street at night and I always think the street, the cobbles and the show looks it’s best at night… especially if it’s a little bit rainy! 

‘We all had a great time shooting it, those scenes are always fun.’

Asked what he thinks the audience will think about Daniel seeing red over Justin he responded: ‘It’s nice to see characters like Daniel doing things that aren’t necessarily wholesome all the time and I like the mixture of both sides of him because I think you need a bit of both.  

‘I think the viewers will think, ‘Well, it’s about time that you did something! You should have done that weeks ago!’
