Coronation Street fans were left furious as ‘gullible’ Emma falls for Curtis‘s lies about his heart condition.
For months, Curtis has been lying about having a life-limiting heart condition. Recently viewers discovered he’s not physically unwell, but doctors fear he may be suffering from a factitious disorder.
A factitious disorder is a mental disorder in which someone deceives others by appearing sick. They do this by deliberately producing, feigning or exaggerating symptoms.
This week, Curtis went away telling Emma and her family he was going to do the Three Peaks Challenge, but fans know that wasn’t the truth.
Emma panicked when she noticed Curtis left his pills at home, but when Tyrone’s daughter Ruby took one of the pills, Emma took her to hospital.
The doctor revealed that Ruby had only taken a vitamin and Emma was left confused.
Coronation Street fans furious as ‘gullible’ Emma falls for Curtis’s lies
In last night’s episode (Tuesday, December 14) Curtis returned home to find Emma in tears.
She confronted him about the pills but Curtis kept saying he did have a heart condition.
Curtis said he had found a holistic plant-based regime because the heart pills he had been put on were giving him bad side-effects.
Emma was left confused and Curtis said all she needed to know was he was dying and it became clear Emma was starting to believe him.
