Coronation Street SPOILER: “Crazy” new romance for Daniel Osbourne

We did not see this one coming...

Coronation Street boss Kate Oates has revealed Daniel Osbourne is set to have a passionate new romance in the New Year with someone very unexpected.

It sounds very much like he could be getting hot and heavy with his half-brother’s ex-wife, Carla Conner. WHAT?!

We know, we wouldn’t have bookish Daniel down as her type either.

According to reports, Sinead Tinker will marry Chesney Brown leaving unlucky-in-love Daniel heartbroken.

And he’s set to heal that heart by enjoying a steamy fling with a returning character.

Kate told The Sun: “She’s unexpected, I think that people will go, ‘Oh! That’s a slightly crazy pairing!’.

“It’s one of those slightly unusual dynamics. If you think about it you can see what each of them is getting out of the relationship, but on paper you might think ‘oh that’s a surprise’.”

She added: “I would encourage viewers who are wrong-footed by it – in a way that they are uncomfortable with it – to think about what each character might be getting out of this fling.

“Then it will hopefully make more sense.”

Daniel would probably be getting A LOT more than Carla out of the fling – she’s waaaaaaay out of his league.

But with him being her ex-husband’s half-brother, it seems a bit like this could be some sort of revenge on Peter Barlow.

Peter and Carla were married in 2014 while Peter was having a secret affair with Tina McIntyre.

Carla’s no stranger to targetting a toy-boy lover either. After her relationship with Peter broke down, she set her sights on hunky mechanic Luke Britton.

The pair shared a drunken kiss in front of a jealous Peter and Carla took Luke back to her flat. But she was left feeling humiliated when Luke left without sealing the deal.

Would a revenge romance with Daniel be much more effective?
