Coronation Street has shown the reality behind getting ready for some of the soap's most heartbreaking scenes.
On Monday night viewers watched as the night Nina Lucas and Seb Franklin were attacked was played out in full.
The loved-up couple were set up by a vile gang led by Corey Brent in May and Seb later tragically died as a result of his injuries.
The flashback episodes aired at the start of the week showed exactly what happened on that fateful night as heartbroken Nina remembered every moment.

She revealed that it was Corey who was responsible for Seb's murder, giving Kelly Neelan the chance to be found not guilty.
Corrie viewers were full of praise for the 'genius' flashback episodes with the heavy court scenes still to follow this week.
Seb actor Harry Visinoni returned months after his final scenes to recreate the horrific attack scenes.
He and co-star Mollie Gallagher were also able to break the two-metre social distancing rule in order to make the scenes as life-like as possible.
The couple even shared a kiss as Seb confessed his undying love for his girlfriend.
But ahead of shooting the vital scenes, Mollie and Harry had to spend a lot of time in the make-up chair.
Corrie has shared two timelapse videos of the actors getting into character.
"How wonderful was it to see @eyyya_visinoni return last night," they wrote alongside one showing Harry become bloodied and bruised.
"Here is the terrific work of our very own @corriemakeup putting Seb back together again to match that fateful night of the attack."
The make-up team, who are still having to wear full PPE, are seen intricately adding the touches to his face.
A second video showed Mollie getting the same treatment.
The actress is seen getting her hair curled into tight ringlets before Nina's statement make-up is added.
And fans were quick to flood the post with compliments.
"Nina is fabulous. Love her Goth look. Hope it comes back soon," one said.
Another commented: "She is such a beauty."
"Tremendous Actress. Deserves every award going!" a third said.
A fourth added: "Now thats a tuesday transformation."
"I hope we see her back in her gothic outfits soon!" another said.
But fans were also quite sad to say goodbye to Harry, aka Seb, for a second time.
"Brilliantly acted! Such a shame he's no longer in it! Boooo," one commented.
Another said: "Absolutely loved it ! It’s such a shame Seb is no longer a character in the soap but Harry is an amazing actor and I wish him all the best for his future."
"Why did they have to kill off Seb?" a third asked.
A fourth added: "Another of the many we miss from Corrie."
