Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) has left Coronation Street to spend time with his mum, Michelle (Kym Marsh).
The beloved character is continuing his recovery after being attacked with acid by Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still) a few months ago.
It’s been a long and difficult road for Ryan, who has had to overcome many hurdles while accepting that the ordeal has changed his life forever.
Most recently, Ryan decided to return to work at the Bistro.

During his first shift, he was tasked with looking after a group of children for a birthday party. However, one of the adults then asked Leanne (Jane Danson) to take over Ryan’s role, arguing that people didn’t want to see him and his facial scars.
In his next shift, Ryan completed jobs behind the scenes, so he didn’t have to interact with a lot of members of the public. He was successful in securing a wine contract with a lady called Rose but when she arrived at the restaurant and tried to ask Ryan out for a drink, he thought she was doing it as a kindness after noticing his injuries.
Struggling with his confidence, Ryan was then seen looking at images on his social media, with every single one being of him before his appearance changed.
In Monday’s (July 10) episode, as Ryan packed up his suitcase, we saw another sign of his self esteem being at an all-time low as he stared at himself topless in the mirror.
That evening, Ryan said his goodbye to Carla (Alison King) and jumped in the taxi, ready to switch off for a few weeks in Ireland before his return to Weatherfield.
