Coronation Street fans have been left confused after tonight's hour-long episode saw the fire that Geoff started on Wednesday's episode mysteriously vanish.

Fans watched in horror earlier this week as Geoff (Ian Bartholomew) cornered Yasmeen (Shelley King) in number 6 and locked the doors, before drenching the place in lighter fluid and setting it alight.

But when Ryan came to their aid in tonight's episode, fans were confused that he managed to get through the blaze.

Where's the fire?

There was barely a mention of the fire throughout the whole episode, and by the time Sally and Tim made their way up to the roof to coax Yasmeen down, the fire seemed to have mysteriously vanished.

As the police and ambulance service arrived at the scene, there wasn't a fire engine in sight and fans were quick to point out the mystery...

Once Yasmeen eventually came down from the roof thanks to Tim, the police arrived to question her.

Thankfully she was only be questioned as a witness, and no one is blaming Yasmeen for Geoff's death like she thought they might.

But while Yasmeen's ordeal might finally be over now that Geoff is gone, it seems Adam Barlow's nightmare is only just beginning.
