Viewers know his gangster brother Harvey has forced him into taking part in an armed robbery and tonight was the night for it.

However there was a shocking twist as once the job was done, one of the other thugs tried to kill their inside man reasoning a four-way split was better than five.

A horrified Damon put a stop to the murder attempt and defended the man, before turning on the other thugs.

Realising they would betray him, he grabbed a bag full of the cash and made a run for it on foot, leaving them to flee in the car.

He fled back to Weatherfield just in time for Sarah’s son Harry’s party leaving her horrified at what he’d been doing.

However he quickly talked her around and they decided to go for a night-time trip to a dessert bar so Harry could have some more cake.

But as they walked along the cobbles disaster struck.

Seeing the police arrive, Damon sent Sarah away with Harry hoping they wouldn’t see him being arrested.

The armed police swarmed him and arrested him, dragging him away while Harry screamed.

But is it a permanent exit for Damon or will he survive to fight another day?
