Ryan Connor will get to see his face injuries following Justin\u2019s vile acid attack<\/a> for the first time in\u00a0Coronation Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ITV soap is airing a hard-hitting storyline, seeing the bartender played by Ryan Prescott<\/a>\u00a0left with life-altering injuries in a terrible attack that was meant to target Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan).<\/p>\n

Prescott, who\u2019s promoting a conversation on the prevalence of acid attacks on his social media accounts, has weighed in on his character\u2019s reaction to seeing his face after removing the bandages.<\/p>

\u201cFor Ryan, I don\u2019t think he expects it to be as bad as it is,\u201d the actor told press, including RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has never seen major burns before so he doesn\u2019t know what to expect, and because he has been in bandages for so long he gets into a little comfortable zone with just wearing the bandages. Once his facial injuries are revealed to him, it knocks it right out of him again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corrie has worked alongside Emmy, BAFTA and RTS Award-winning SFX artist Davy Jones (known for the Blade trilogy and Pirates of the Caribbean) and makeup prosthetics supervisor Beks Scott to create Ryan\u2019s face injuries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe initial glances are heartbreaking,\u201d Prescott continued.\u00a0\u201cThe first time he sees his face, he is thinking, \u2018I am never going to have love in my life again. I am going to be the one that people look at in the street.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that moment, all those feelings he was trying to ignore come rushing to the surface and he realises that there is no way this is going to heal and he is going to look like his burns haven\u2019t been there. It confirms to him that this is going to affect every aspect of the rest of his life, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

The soap star has researched for the storyline by meeting acid attack survivors, making sure to honour their stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to do this storyline because I thought it was a great responsibility to be able to open up a dialogue about acid attack survivors, especially after some research [when] I realised how much more prevalent acid violence is than what I originally thought,\u201d he explained.<\/p>
