CORONATION Street fans were left furious over Yasmeen Nazir’s arrest tonight and have claimed it will be stop domestic abuse victims coming forward.
Viewers of the ITV soap were stunned following tonight’s turn of events as it was revealed Geoff survived being stabbed in the neck with a wine bottle following months of being manipulated and controlled by him.
Paramedics were able to find a pulse as they arrived at the bloody scene after abused wife Yasmeen stood over his body.
Cops arrested shaken Yasmeen who confessed she had attacked Geoff to the 999 caller.
However, viewers were up in arms at the treatment of Yasmeen by the case detective, who seemed hell bent on getting a confession out of her despite Yasmeen’s attempts to suggest she was acting in self-defence.
One furious fan tweeted: “Surely the police would know about Geoff’s past and pick up on Yasmeen saying that she just wanted it to stop?”
“Is this supposed to bring coercive control into the public eye and encourage victims to come forward?!!!” another shared. “I should think that woman detective will make them despair #Corrie.”
A third wrote: “Heartbreaking to see what Yasmeen is still going through. The interviewing officer and so called friends already deciding she is the guilty party.
“I’m still hoping that Geoff will be exposed for the evil piece that he is & Yasmeen gets justice #CoronationStreet”.
“My God if any woman is watching this and is in Yasmeen’s situation the last people you would contact is the police,” another viewer said. “Where did they get this female detective from, Rent a Cop. Her attitude absolutely stinks, it’s so WRONG. From a woman no less.”
A final fan shared: “#corrie I thought police are supposed to be objective? Very unprofessional of this police lady. This story is getting annoying now #Yasmeen #Geoff.
Traumatised Yasmeen smashed her monster husband around the head with a bottle, before jamming the jagged end into his throat in one of soap’s most disturbing scenes ever.
The violent outburst followed months of abused, with fans celebrating that he finally got his comeuppance.
But as Yasmeen was quizzed in custody, Geoff’s life was being saved in hospital.
His son Tim sat by her bedside and told wife Sally: “They’ll have to operate. He’s lost a ton of blood and is lucky not to have severed an artery. They’re on the way to give him a blood transfusion.
“He’s very weak and a very slow pulse with a very dodgy ticker. I think we might need to prepare ourselves. Imagine a world without our Geoff.”
HOAR revealed Coronation Street was hit with 276 Ofcom complaints about Friday night’s episode.
