Coronation Street fans were left reeling after the long-running abduction story came to a dramatic conclusion.
Months after it was revealed villain Pat Phelan (Connor McIntyre) had been keeping Andy Carver (Oliver Farnworth) prisoner in his basement, his captive met a tragic end.
Warning! Massive Spoilers Alert!
In a violent and shocking showdown, Phelan forced Carver to shoot fellow captive Vinny Ashford (Ian Kelsey) in a deserted mill before Phelan turned the gun on Carver, as viewers compared the soap to a horror film.
He then dumped their bodies in a lake.
Viewers took to social media in their droves to compare the graphic scenes to those in the Saw series of horror movies.
One wrote: "Who needs Saw when you've got Pat Phelan on #corrie" as another said: "Jigsaw Phelan's watched too many Saw movies. "
Another wrote: "Am I watching Corrie or 'Saw'?" as one more said: "This is like Saw with the 2 guys stuck in the grotty bathroom and Phelan is Jigsaw!"
Another fan wrote: "Corrie is more like a horror movie tonight" as another hailed Phelan as "Corrie's number 1 villain".

I really don't agree with this #Corrie storyline. It's gone way too far and its uncomfortable to watch now.
