In a dramatic episode of Coronation Street, the web of deception woven by Christina Boyd finally fell apart, exposing a jaw-dropping scheme that nearly cost Jenny Connor everything. At the heart of it all was Daisy Midgeley, who, after being pushed to her limits, not only turned on her mother but also made a life-altering decision of her own—leaving Weatherfield for good.

The episode began with Jenny still enchanted by her mysterious online beau, “Dom,” unaware that the man who had swept her off her feet was nothing more than a fictional persona crafted by Christina and Daisy as part of an elaborate scam. Their goal? To con Jenny out of a large sum of money with promises of a lucrative investment. But while Jenny was prepared to invest her trust and her savings, the con was already falling apart behind the scenes.

Things took a sharp turn when Daisy unexpectedly caught her mother, Christina, getting far too cozy with the man pretending to be Dom in the pub’s beer garden. Hidden from view, Daisy listened in horror as Christina made it clear that not only was she cutting her daughter out of the deal, but she also had no intention of sharing a penny.

“You reminded me of all the trouble she’s caused over the years, that girl,” Christina said with a smirk, clearly unaware she was being watched. “And I tell you, when we are sitting in the sun, sipping cocktails, I won’t be giving that daughter of mine a second thought.”

That betrayal lit a fire in Daisy, who immediately went to warn Jenny. She found her in a state of confusion—already uneasy about the situation—and told her she had narrowly avoided being defrauded. Thanks to a last-minute move by the bank, Jenny’s money had been transferred to a safe account, saving her from financial ruin.

Playing her cards carefully, Daisy dropped subtle clues to implicate her mother without outright confessing her involvement. When Jenny ranted about conmen and their cheesy one-liners, Daisy slyly mentioned the phrase “flame-haired sorceress”—a line Christina had proudly boasted about using as Dom. The seed of doubt was sown.

Jenny soon took matters into her own hands and stormed into the Rovers, cutting off Christina mid-bingo session. In front of the whole pub, Jenny revealed she had almost been conned. To prove it, she called “Dom”—only for Christina’s phone to ring, revealing her as the catfish in front of everyone. The contact name? ‘Ron Weasley’—a savage jab that sealed her humiliation.

Kit Green promptly escorted Christina out and took her to the police station. As she was led away, Daisy whispered one final request to her mother: keep Daisy’s name out of it. Christina gave a small, complicit nod, clearly acknowledging her daughter’s threat.

Back at home, Daisy continued to play the role of the concerned daughter. When Jenny brought up Daisy’s past involvement in catfishing, Daisy denied any knowledge of Dom and Christina being together, still trying to keep her own hands clean.

However, Daniel Osbourne wasn’t buying her act. Now aware of the whole con, Daniel confronted Daisy about her supposed moral turnaround. He figured out the truth: Daisy had only turned in Christina because she had been double-crossed herself.

“Here was me thinking you had a glimmer of conscience to do the right thing,” he said sharply. “You shopped Christina because she betrayed you.”

Still determined to stay one step ahead, Daisy put yet another plan into motion. She visited the station under the guise of concern for her safety and advised the police to keep Christina overnight—claiming she feared Dom might retaliate. In reality, it was a calculated move to buy herself more time and ensure Christina stayed locked up long enough for Daisy to make her exit.

The episode ended with Daisy telling Jenny that she needed a fresh start away from all the lies and pain. She announced her departure from Weatherfield—effective immediately. Her final episode airs Friday (May 2), marking a shocking farewell to the scheming yet complicated character.

As for Christina, while she’s out of the picture for now, her story is far from over. She’s set to return later this year, and if this episode is anything to go by, her unfinished business with Jenny—and perhaps with Daisy—could lead to even more chaos in the months to come.

With friendships broken, family ties severed, and trust shattered, the fallout from this storyline is just beginning. One thing’s for sure—Weatherfield won’t forget Christina or Daisy anytime soon.
