Daisy’s stalking horror is set to have devastating consequences
The Rovers barmaid is looking forward to tie the knot with her on-off partner Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard).
But amid her careful planning and as her online presence grows, she’s become the target of Justin, portrayed by former Hollyoaks actor Andrew Still.
Initially, Justin began to reach out to Daisy on social media and his messages became more and more insistent over time.
Speaking to The Celeb Report and other press about the new storyline, Charlotte Jordan said: “He is cyber harassing her.”
Unfortunately, Justin shows he won’t be going away anytime soon when he tracks Daisy down at a wedding fair, leaving her “out of her depth.”
“That’s when she clocks, when he starts saying they’re going to get married”, Charlotte added.
“She realises that guy is totally delusional. She starts to get extremely scared.”
Yet going to the police with her fiancé won’t save Daisy as her ordeal turns to torment due to the fact authorities deem they can’t help her unless she keeps record of Justin’s actions.
And it all begins to take a toll on her.
“She’s not afraid to tell people to do one but what you see is this guy just totally take her power from her”, Charlotte explained.
“She feels totally powerless.”
“An intimacy-seeking stalker” convinced he’s in a relationship with Daisy, according to Charlotte’s research, Justin relentlessly tries to get her attention without realising she’s loosing herself in the process.
Daisy has made herself known to viewers as a bold, camp and assertive character but looking over her shoulder constantly will leave her empty, drained and uncertain of her future.
“She doesn’t know how far that delusion is going to go or what’s going to tip him over the edge. It’s a really scary situation for her to be in”, Charlotte continued.
Like many other survivors of stalking, Daisy will begin to crumble “and get smaller and smaller.”
“Justin eradicates all the things that make her Daisy. Nobody can really understand what she’s going through.”
“He’s slowly going to destroy everything that makes her her”, Charlotte concluded.
Who will she turn to for support?
Can Daniel help her build herself back up?
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8pm on ITV.
