Daniel’s drinking puts Bertie in danger in Corrie

Could he be about to lose Bertie for good?

30 MAY - 5 JUNE

As an anxious Daniel prepares for his return to work, Bertie presents him with a ‘World’s Best Teacher’ mug.

In the corridor, Lily taunts Daniel by reading out Truthteller2’s latest posts, and when she purposely bashes into him, he’s gutted to find his new mug smashed to pieces and breaks down in tears, as Jake films on his phone.

On a mission to get drunk, Daniel barrels into the Rovers, but when Adam bans Sean from serving him, Daniel storms out.

Spotting Megan in the precinct, Daniel lets rip at her for ruining his life. Is she in danger?

As Daniel checks his laptop for further vile posts, Jodie makes a throwaway remark, which makes him realise with horror that she’s his troll. Rounding on Jodie, Daniel fumes about how she’s caused him sleepless nights, paranoia and depression whilst acting as his confidante. Despite Jodie swearing that Truthteller2 has nothing to do with her, Daniel throws her out.

Drunk in the Rovers, Daniel announces that Jodie is his online stalker. Feigning tears, Jodie hurries out.

Back home, Bertie says he’s starving, but Daniel is too drunk to care and falls asleep on the sofa. As Bertie sets about making his own tea, smoke pours from the kitchen, and he dashes out, leaving Daniel dead to the world.

As Bertie wanders the streets, has Daniel’s negligence left them both in danger?

When Daniel is woken by a call from school, informing him that Bertie hasn’t turned up, he takes in his surroundings and realises with horror that there’s no sign of Bertie. Where is Daniel? And is Bertie safe?

As Adam and Daniel go at each other hammer and tongs over his irresponsible parenting, Adam references Sinead, and Daniel loses it. Lashing out, he accidentally catches Ken and sends him staggering.

Later, Tracy spells out to Ken and Adam that Daniel isn’t fit to look after himself, and they need to do something about it.

When Daniel calls at No.1, hoping to smooth things over with Ken, he’s put out when he insists that Adam and Tracy be a part of the discussion too.

When Ken suggests that he’s heading down the same alcoholic path as Peter, Daniel storms out. And he's later horrified to find social services on his doorstep.
