Tonight’s Coronation Street scenes saw Daniel Osbourne’s life spiral further out of control when a fire broke out while he was supposed to be caring for son Bertie.
After falling asleep on the sofa, Daniel had no idea that Bertie had attempted to make himself some food using the microwave. The situation quickly turned dangerous when the appliance exploded, leaving the flat filling with smoke.
Although Adam arrived in time to help, the fallout from the frightening incident is only just beginning, with social services arriving shortly.

Daniel’s flat fills with smoke in Coronation Street
Today, Jodie tried to reassure Daniel over the messages posted by Truthteller, suggesting that whoever was behind the account probably never intended to meet him in person. However, Daniel soon realised that Jodie was the only person who knew about his plan to arrange a meeting with the online troll.
Certain he had worked everything out, Daniel confronted Jodie in the Rovers and accused her of being both Truthteller 1 and Truthteller 2. As concerned locals urged him to sober up, Jodie denied having anything to do with the second account.
Back at the flat, Jodie eventually admitted that she had created the original Truthteller profile. Upset after learning that Daniel planned to ask her to leave once Bertie returned home, she confessed that she had targeted him online so she could offer support and stay close to him. However, she maintained that she wasn’t responsible for Truthteller 2 and claimed somebody else had continued the trolling.
Furious at the betrayal, Daniel ordered Jodie out and made it clear that he didn’t want to see her again.
After the dramatic confrontation, Daniel headed home and passed out despite being responsible for looking after Bertie.
When Bertie became hungry, he decided to sort out his own dinner and attempted to use the microwave. But things soon went badly wrong when it exploded and filled the flat with smoke. Unable to wake Daniel, Bertie left and made his way to Ken’s house in search of a biscuit.
Thankfully, Bertie mentioned what had happened. Realising the seriousness of the situation, Adam grabbed the spare key and rushed over to Daniel’s flat, only to find it engulfed in smoke. Even when Adam shouted that there was a fire, Daniel failed to respond.
