Coronation Street's Rob Donovan hit Tina McIntyre over the head with a metal pipe in a surprise twist last night (28.05.14).
Audiences saw Michelle Keegan's character appear to fall to her death after plunging from a balcony during a scuffle in Tuesday's episode (27.05.14), but in a dark twist, the seedy character attempted to silence Tina once and for all with a weapon.
Although Rob (Marc Baylis) offered to call an ambulance for Tina after her fall, the brassy barmaid - who survived the plunge - threatened to tell the police that he had deliberately pushed her, which lead to his frenzied attack.
Tina has now been left fighting for her life in hospital, but she tragically dies in next Monday's double bill (02.06.14) as doctors are unable to save her.
Michelle - who is engaged to former 'The Only Way Is Essex' hunk Mark Wright - has bowed out of the ITV soap after six years playing the the stunning soap favourite and she previously revealed she would be watching her last ever scenes from the comfort of her dad's house.
She said: "That's where I watched the episode when I was first on, so I'm going to watch the last episode with him. It'll be quite emotional."

'Coronation Street' newcomer Andrea Beckett is secretly married.
The flirtatious brunette, played by Hayley Tamaddon, has worked her way into cab driver Lloyd Mullaney's (Craig Charles) heart since making an appearance on Weatherfield's cobbles six months ago, but a new twist will see her secret husband of 20 years, Neil, come back into the picture next month.
Her cuckolded partner is set to storm into the Rovers Return pub and create a showdown with Andrea's lover.
The comedy reveal on the ITV soap will involve Neil mistakenly thinking Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is his wife's new lover.
He rages: "Is this really who you've left me for? Are you having some sort of breakdown? We have got a beautiful life together and you want to turn it all in for him?"
An embarrassed Andrea replies: "You are making a fool of both of us."
And the situation only becomes more dramatic when Lloyd arrives and declares: "It's me, I'm the one you want to knock out."
While Lloyd is left heartbroken at Andrea's deception, her good friend Steve is furious.
He rants to his girlfriend Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh): "She's been lying to us all for month. We thought she was Andrea from college, Lloyd's missus, my mate - turns out she was some other sap's wife."

Singer Foxes has landed a role in 'Doctor Who'.
The 25-year-old singer - real name Louisa Rose Allen - will make her acting debut in an episode of the upcoming eighth series of the hit BBC sci-fi drama.
The 'Youth' songstress will perform a track on the show and appear in a new adventure starring Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor.
She said: "I can't believe I'm actually going to be in an episode of 'Doctor Who'! Especially as it all came about from a chance meeting. I was playing a gig and got chatting to the show's production team who'd been watching my performance. I was telling them how much I loved 'Doctor Who' and next thing they invited me to be on it. I couldn't think of a better place to make my acting debut than on one of the UK's most iconic shows!"
Executive producer Steven Moffat added: "We are completely thrilled that the amazingly talented Foxes is joining us on board ... well, you'll see. Let's just say, the Doctor is finally catching up on his phone calls."
The new series of 'Doctor Who' - which also feature guest appearances from Frank Skinner and Keeley Hawes - begins on BBC One in August.

Amber Heard expects to be typecast.
The 28-year-old star - who is dating Johnny Depp - believes women are either treated as sex objects or they play an ugly best friend in movies.
She told W magazine: "As a woman, I usually have two options: Sex Object or the Best Friend Who Isn't Sexy. It's not creatively fulfilling to just be sexy. I did nothing to look the way I look. The genetic cards that anyone is dealt are not in their control, so to take pride in my looks would be a mistake. And besides, in L.A. there's always someone more beautiful!"
Heard was thrilled to find 2009's 'Zombieland' director Ruben Fleischer didn't expect her to play a sexy zombie but she was able to embrace a more gory look.
She added:"I remember getting a small part in the movie 'Zombieland'.
"I said to the director, 'Do I get to play a true zombie or am I a cleavage zombie?' I had this fear that he was going to want me to be a zombie in my underwear! He said, 'No--take it as far as you want.' I said, 'Get the vomit packs ready! I'm going to be ugly and gross!' "

The 28-year-old actress and boyfriend Justin Long have their own paddle boards and she's revealed she regularly takes her beloved German Shepherd Finn out on the waves because the mutt loves the water.
Talking on UK TV show 'This Morning', she said: "My boyfriend and I recently got a paddle board thanks to MRC who did 'A Million Ways to Die in the West' and Finn gets on the paddle board and we paddle out in the lake and he just sits on it. He's the best."

Although she loves her pet pooch she has no plans to have him preserved when he eventually dies.
The 'A Million Ways To Die In The West' star said: "I haven't got one in a while now. I have a baby horse. Like a miniature horse. Then I have a fox, a pygmy goat ... They're not toys, just to be looked at. Although sometimes I give them a nice little pat.

Selena Gomez's grandfather has confirmed she is secretly battling lupus.
The 'Come & Get It' hitmaker was previously the subject of rumours she had the disease, and her family have now admitted she was diagnosed with the auto-immune condition "a couple of years ago" but has her symptoms under control.
Her grandfather Ricardo Gomez said: "She's in treatment. She's getting along pretty good."
Earlier this year, Selena - who has an on/off relationship with Justin Bieber - checked into rehab and her elderly relative is desperate for her to now follow medical advice and take a break from her career.
He told RadarOnline.com: "We just saw in some newspaper that she was doing drugs. I called her and said, [you] need to watch out ... She was working a lot. She was exhausted. She hardly takes some time out. There was some pressure, first because it's a lot of work.
"The doctor was telling her she needs to take some time out It's just too much pressure what she's going through. It's just too much! She doesn't have a single day's break ... It's getting to the point with all this pressure ... that it's too much.
"Everyone was telling her, even her agent and the doctor, 'Selena take some time to yourself!' "
And Ricardo - who hasn't seen his granddaughter since last November - also claimed the former Disney star is keen to give up her pop career.
He added: "She was saying she don't want to sing no more, she just wants to be an actress ... but she's going to combine it, it looks like."

Rob Kardashian has vowed to hit the gym every day to lose weight.
The sock designer missed his sister Kim Kardashian's wedding to Kanye West at the weekend because he reportedly felt too self-conscious about his size to appear in photographs.
He's now had enough of being overweight and is determined to get back into shape.
Celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson told TMZ he had received a text message from the reality TV star when he returned to Los Angeles from Florence, Italy, and is determined to "hit the ground running" with a new fitness regime and wants to work out every day until he feels slim again.
Rob previously lapsed his workouts and visited the gym just a few times before flying out to Europe, but is now determined to get into a regular routine.
Gunnar told the website he will show his client "no mercy" and plans to put him through an hour of high-intensity full body exercises, cardio and resistance training every day.
He added: "Rob is locked and loaded."
It was previously claimed the 27-year-old star - whose over-eating began following his break-up from Rita Ora in 2013 - allegedly got into an argument with Kim over her lavish wedding extravaganza, which he branded "superficial bulls**t".
Things kicked off between the siblings during a lunch at designer Valentino's Château de Wideville in Crespières, France, and Rob headed for the airport shortly afterwards.
An insider said: "Rob is not in a good place right now at all and his family should be very worried about him. He was embarrassed to go to the wedding in the first place because of his weight gain and to be ridiculed by Kim and basically rejected has put him over the edge."

Emily Blunt is "obsessed" with her daughter Hazel.
The 'Edge of Tomorrow' actress and her husband, John Krasinski - who stars in the US version of 'The Office' - welcomed their first child into the world in February and while she's promoting her latest film with three premieres in London, Paris and New York City today (28.05.14) she's missing the tiny tot who is being looked after by her spouse.
Talking on British chat show 'Lorraine', she said: "She's gorgeous of course, I'm obsessed with her."
Before she added: "She's with Daddy right now though, I don't think she would have done very well with the 24 hour whirlwind!"
Since becoming a mother she admits her priorities have changed and she's going to be more "specific" about the roles she takes on.
Emily explained: "I think I'll be very specific about what I do because it does switch your focus and everything in me just wants to be with her right now so it'll be interesting."
Emily has been getting used to sleepless nights taking care of the little one and insists she'll look better than her co-star Tom Cruise when they finish their day in New York.
She added: "That's why I'm actually going to be in better shape than anyone else on this 24 hour whirlwind because I'm used to no sleep. Tom [Cruise] will look terrible by New York!"

Miley Cyrus won two World Music Awards at the ceremony in Monaco last night (27.05.14).
The 'Wrecking Ball' singer looked stunning in a green strapless gown while performing her hit song at the event at the Sporting Club in Monte-Carlo, before being handed her gongs for Best Female Act and Best Pop Video for 'Wrecking Ball'.
