CORONATION Street monster Geoff Metcalfe finally got his comeuppance after abusing poor wife Yasmeen for months – but the violent scenes left fans feeling sick to their stomachs.
The character, played by Shelley King, smashed the monster around the head with a bottle, before jamming the jagged end into his throat.
It came after an episode that saw him ramp up his abuse, culminating in a furious tirade which left some viewers struggling to watch.
Forcing her to wear a red dress he's bought for a prostitute, he dragged for our to the dinner with Sally and Tim – before dropping the bombshell that he's handed over her money to pay for their wedding.
She was shocked that she'd handed over a fortune without consulting him, but he barked: "You want to do this now? Get your coat. Shift. Don't you dare turn the waterworks on in here."
He then dragged her out of the Rovers and back to No.6, where he launched into an unspeakably cruel rant where he hurled food at her and admitted sleeping with prostitutes.
As she struggled to pull the ridiculous dress off Geoff taunted: "Oh no, it's a bit late for a striptease Yasmeen. That ship has well and truly sailed."
She tumbled to the floor wailing: "I just want you to love me like you used to."
He replied: "Oh please, can you hear yourself? What is there to love? A scrawny pathetic lapdog."
Picking up fistfuls of chips he added: "Do you want a chip, little doggy? Have another, have another. Fetch!
Geoff foul rant at Yasmeen that sickened viewers
"Those escorts could show you a thing or two. That's right, escorts – plural. They're all about the buzz and the banter.
"Don't stand there feeling sorry for yourself you bony old bore. You drove me to it. Look at you, cowering, trying to make me feel bad. Well I don't feel bad, I feel angry.
"Where's your dignity woman? You make my skin crawl – why can't you grow a spine?
"There you go again, flinching like I'm some kind of monster.
"If only you could look at yourself – dead behind the eyes and from the waist down. And here's me thinking of all the long years ahead.
"Till death do us part? God spare me. Maybe I should kill you – do the world a favour. Would anyone really notice if you were gone?"
"Those escorts could show you a thing or two. That's right, escorts – plural. They're all about the buzz and the banter. Don't stand there feeling sorry for yourself you bony old bore. You drove me to it."
Grabbing a knife, he added: "Maybe I should kill you – do the world a favour. Would anyone really notice if you were gone?"
At that, Yasmeen picked up a wine bottle and smashed abusive Geoff around the head before blunging the broken glass into his neck.
As the Coronation Streets credits rolled, he was seen collapsed, twitching on the floor.
