Tonight in Coronation Street (Tuesday, June 2), Daniel Osbourne was meant to be looking after son Bertie when a fire broke out.

With Daniel asleep on the sofa, Bertie tried to use the microwave but it ended up exploding cause causing the flat to quickly fill with smoke.

With Adam coming to the rescue, it isn’t long before social services are on the case in the weeks to come.

Daniel’s flat fills with smoke in Coronation Street

Daniel’s nightmare week went from bad to worse as shocking scenes saw him left unconscious in a smoke-filled flat while young Bertie wandered off alone.

Earlier in the day, Jodie attempted to calm Daniel’s fears over the messages posted by Truthteller, insisting that the person behind the account probably never intended to meet him face-to-face. However, Daniel quickly realised that only Jodie knew about his plan to arrange a meeting with his online troll.

Convinced he had uncovered the truth, Daniel publicly accused Jodie in the Rovers of being both Truthteller 1 and Truthteller 2. As locals watched on and urged Daniel to sober up, Jodie strongly denied being behind the second account.

Back at the flat, Jodie finally admitted that she had created the original Truthteller profile. Hurt by Daniel’s plans to ask her to leave once Bertie returned home, she confessed that she had targeted him online so she could then support him and remain close to him. Despite her admission, Jodie insisted she knew nothing about Truthteller 2 and claimed somebody else had taken over the trolling campaign.

Furious over the betrayal, Daniel ordered Jodie to leave immediately and warned her not to come back. Jodie then returned to the Platts’ house, where her attention once again turned towards David.

After everything that had happened, Daniel headed home and passed out, despite being responsible for looking after Bertie.

Feeling hungry, Bertie tried to sort out his own dinner and attempted to use the microwave. Disaster struck when it exploded, filling the flat with smoke. With Daniel refusing to wake up, Bertie left the flat and headed over to Ken’s house in search of a biscuit.

Thankfully, Bertie mentioned what had happened. Alarmed, Adam grabbed the spare key and rushed to Daniel’s flat, where he found the property full of smoke. But even when Adam shouted that there was a fire, Daniel remained unconscious.

Coronation Street spoilers see Daniel lose Bertie as social services arrive

Later on in the week, spoilers confirm that Daniel panics when he loses Bertie. Receiving a phone call from the school, he realises that his son never turned up.

Daniel is soon criticised by the Barlows on his parenting ability, being compared to Peter and his alcoholic ways.

This leads to Daniel lashing out and actually hitting Ken in the face. Adam and Tracy then fear that Daniel’s unable to cope and take action.

It isn’t long before social services then turn up at Daniel’s door, ready to have a chat with Bertie. Will Daniel lose Bertie for good though? Or, can he prove that he’s able to look after his son with some support?

Jodie lied to David

Jodie headed back to the Platts' and turned her attention back towards David. She then suggested that he'd said her name when he accidentally slipped into bed with her.

David didn't remember it at all (because it didn't happen), but Jodie made him second guess himself.

Lisa was a woman on a mission

Lisa realised that Todd's phone had been taken from Theo on the night of the murder. It meant that Summer could possibly be freed from prison if she found the phone and forensics were able to find who the real murderer was. But, will her detective skills be successful?
