Coronation Street fans watching Friday’s ITVX early release (February 13) were left stunned when DC Kit Green swooped in for a dramatic arrest in the closing moments.

After weeks of suspicion and simmering tension, Daniel Osbourne finally began to unravel the truth about who really attacked him – and it wasn’t the man everyone thought.

Daniel attended his restorative justice meeting expecting to come face to face with his attacker, Colin. But as they spoke, Daniel quickly realised something didn’t add up. Colin revealed he suffered from a condition that caused him to limp, and Daniel was certain the person who attacked him had run away.

Despite Colin insisting he was guilty, Daniel began to suspect the evidence had been planted. Colin then admitted he’d confessed so he could have somewhere warm to stay, choosing a roof over his head over the truth.

But is Will really headed for prison over Daniel’s Christmas attack? And could Maggie, who helped him cover his tracks, soon find her
