Coronation Street has fuelled a key fan theory over Daniel Osbourne’s new relationship storyline.
Fans are busy speculating over who Daniel’s next girlfriend will be, after actor Rob Mallard shared a new storyline teaser with us on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards last week.
With the news that Daniel could be moving on from Bethany Platt and Daisy Midgeley, some viewers have started to wonder whether Dee-Dee Bailey could be the lady in question.
With interesting timing, Dee-Dee shares scenes with Daniel in tonight’s episode as they have an unexpected heart-to-heart at the Bistro.

When Daniel’s friend cancels lunch plans, Dee-Dee invites him to join her at her table instead.
Daniel takes the opportunity to share his concerns over local teens Dylan Wilson and Brody Michaelis, who are butting heads after their tense time together in the Secure Training Centre.
Meanwhile, Dee-Dee speaks to Daniel on how she’s feeling following her decision to give away her baby daughter Laila to her brother James.
Could this unexpected friendship be an early red herring – or a sign of things to come?

In his exclusive chat with us at the British Soap Awards, Rob explained: “I’m not allowed to say anything too specific, but sure enough, he’ll be falling for another woman. He’ll be falling head over heels again. When that happens, I’m not too sure.
“And he’s gone back to work at the school. We’ve got all the kids in the show, and with the age that they’re at with the storylines, I should be involved with the younger cast a bit more.”
Asked whether Daniel will learn from his previous romantic mistakes, Rob laughed: “No, he can’t! He’s Ken’s son, isn’t he? Everything’s got to be a mess all the time.
“So I’m expecting just more chaotic relationships, just over and over and over again.”
