Coronation Street fans are becoming increasingly worried about Daniel Osbourne as his life continues to fall apart. The teacher has faced one problem after another in recent weeks. And many viewers now believe he is heading towards a complete breakdown.
After his latest clash with Adam and Ken Barlow, fans are asking why nobody is stepping in to help a man they see as completely broken. Scroll down to see what the fans’ take is on the entire matter.
Daniel’s Struggles Keep Getting Worse In Coronation Street
Daniel has been struggling ever since he learned the truth about Megan Walsh. He thought they were in a genuine relationship, but later discovered that Megan was only using him to hide the abuse she was carrying out against teenager Will Driscoll. The revelation left Daniel devastated and struggling to cope.
Things became even harder when rumours started spreading around the school. Some students believed Daniel knew that Megan was involved with a teenager. As his reputation suffered, Ken Barlow and Adam Barlow encouraged him to take a break from Weatherfield and clear his head. Daniel eventually left Bertie with them, but it soon became clear that he had no plans to leave the cobbles himself.
Instead, Daniel stayed alone in his flat. He sat in the dark drinking alcohol and letting his negative thoughts take over. His situation became even worse when Jodie Ramsey created a fake online account called “Truthteller” and posted cruel messages about him. The posts spread quickly, leaving Daniel struggling to defend himself without losing his temper.
A Shocking Incident Leaves Fans Concerned
This week, Daniel’s problems reached another worrying stage. After drinking too much, he fell asleep on the sofa and left Bertie alone. While trying to make himself something to eat, Bertie put a metal tray into the microwave and unknowingly put himself in danger.
Adam later found Bertie and was furious with Daniel for neglecting his son. The situation led to a heated argument between the two men. When Adam mentioned Daniel’s late wife Sinead Tinker, Daniel completely lost control. Daniel tried to punch Adam, but he accidentally hit Ken instead. The shocking moment left viewers even more concerned about how badly Daniel is coping.
After the episode aired, many Coronation Street viewers took to social media to share their concerns. A lot of fans felt that Daniel’s family were focusing on criticising him instead of recognising that he needs support. One fan wrote: “Breaks my heart that they all are being so harsh on him he needs help”. Another said: “Daniel needs help and support from his family not a lecture about his drinking trying to compare him to peter which is unfair.”
Right now, many fans fear Daniel is heading towards a very dark place. With his drinking getting worse, his emotions boiling over, and his family struggling to reach him, viewers are worried that the broken teacher may be closer than ever to hitting rock bottom.
