Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) is currently harbouring an enormous secret that could blow Bethany Platt’s (Lucy Fallon) world apart in Coronation Street, though the writer is none the wiser.
After a one night stand with Bethany’s fiancé Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), Daisy discovered that she was pregnant, and realised that he could be the father.
Despite keeping the news to herself, her secret was exposed to the two possible baby daddies when she ended up in hospital in recent scenes.
As the nurse announced that she was allowed to have an x-ray while pregnant, both Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and Daniel reeled in shock.
Daisy later told Kit that he was the father, before admitting to Daniel that she didn’t know for sure.
In upcoming scenes, Daniel urges Daisy to take a DNA test, desperate to know once and for all if the baby is his.
Daisy agrees, but demands that he accompany her, unaware of what Bethany is up to at home…
Bethany, having been offered her dream job in London, calls the magazine to find out if the job is still available, despite Daniel having already dismissed the possibility of a move to the capital.
When Daisy returns to the Rovers, she is horrified to find Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews) has bagged up all of her designer stuff to sell, in order to find the money to repay Carla Connor (Alison King).
Things get even worse when Daisy learns that Bethany bought her designer handbag.
At their flat, Daniel keeps quiet about where he has been, only to be blindsided by Bethany’s confession that she wants him to consider a trial move to London. What will he say?
Coronation Street cast exits – who is going?
Sue Devaney as Debbie Webster
Fans have been left distraught at news of Debbie’s upcoming departure, with the character being written out as part of a storyline focusing on dementia.
A source told Metro: ‘It’s one of the show’s biggest storylines of the year, and a real chance for Sue to finally get her time in the spotlight – it will just be devastating for fans that it will effectively be her final storyline.
‘It’s one of many major storylines new boss Kate Brooks has in the bag, and there will not be a dry eye in the house.
‘There is no doubt in the Corrie family that she will give the performance of a lifetime and make Debbie’s exit one to remember for years.’
Sue Cleaver as Eileen Grimshaw
Loose Women and I’m A Celebrity star Sue has been central to the show for two and a half decades but now she will be saying goodbye.
She confirmed: ‘I’ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.’
‘The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly.’
Colson Smith as Craig Tinker
After 14 years, Corrie has decided to also write out police officer Craig, with the actor sharing his love for the show on social media following the decision, delivered to him last year.
He said: ‘I’ve loved every single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street.
‘I’ve learnt pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I’m excited to play out the exit story for our Craigy. For me, this is just the end of the beginning.
‘I genuinely can’t wait to see what chapter 2 has in store for me. Long live the cobbles!’
Charlotte Jordan as Daisy Midgeley
After a very busy four years on the show, Daisy is set to leave as part of a currently to-secret explosive storyline, with Charlotte keen to try other projects.
She said in a statement: ‘My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish.
‘After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.
‘It’s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.
‘After a brilliant four years for Daisy it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.’
Shelley King as Yasmeen Metcalfe
After 10 years, Yasmeen will be departing the cobbles – and she has already filmed her final scenes in December, so expect her last episode soon.
Metro understands that she won’t be killed off.
A show insider has clarified: ‘Shelley spoke to producers early last year and advised that after 10 years on the show and being involved in many major storylines during the past decade she had decided the time has come for her to explore other opportunities.
‘Shelley is an accomplished stage and television actress and we fully understand her desire to take her career in another direction after 10 years playing the same role.
‘She filmed her final scenes in December.’
Paddy Bever as Max Turner
With Paddy having filmed his final scenes, it is expected he will leave in spring.
‘After much reflection and in an incredibly difficult decision, I have chosen to step away from Max, and Coronation Street, to explore new opportunities. I have been surrounded by such kindness and support every step of the way, Paddy, 22, said in a statement.
Talking to The Mirror, he added: ‘It’s been a great privilege to contribute to the legacy of such a well-loved and iconic show. This chapter has been unforgettable and while I look forward to what lies ahead, I will treasure these memories.’
The couple head to the Rovers with Sarah Platt (Tina O’Brien) to celebrate Bethany’s new job, where things only get worse for Daisy.
She is left totally mortified when Bethany pulls out her positive pregnancy test and reveals that it was in the bag she had bought.
Assuming Kit is the father, Bethany congratulates Daisy on her good news.
When Kit later arrives in the pub, Daisy grows overwhelmed by his and Daniel’s presence, and when Bethany announces that she and Daniel have set a date for their wedding, Daisy finally sees red… But what will she do?
Later, Jenny is concerned when she finds Daisy doubled over in pain in the backroom, and insists that she allows her to take her to the hospital.
Back at home, Daisy receives the DNA results, but after reading them, she deletes them and tells a shocked Jenny that the father of her baby is irrelevant.
Will the truth ever come out?
