Coronation Street viewers were left questioning everything on Wednesday night after a shocking revelation about Daisy Midgeley’s baby. 

While Daniel Osbourne was delighted to be told by Jenny Connor that he was the father, 

fans are convinced there’s more to the story than meets the eye.

The confusion stems from the fact that Daisy had previously taken a DNA test but deleted the results without sharing them with anyone. 

This means that Jenny’s claim about Daniel being the father is based on assumption—or possibly on knowledge she hasn’t revealed yet. 

With Daniel and Kit Green both in the running as potential fathers, Jenny’s sudden declaration has left viewers speculating about a new twist in the paternity saga.

Daniel Learns He’s the Father—But Is He?

The latest episode saw Jenny drop the bombshell on Daniel, telling him that Daisy was worried he would only want to be with her because of the baby. A confused Daniel asked outright: “Do you know something? Jenny, is the baby mine?”

Rather than answering directly, Jenny leaned in and smirked, saying: “You didn’t hear it from me.” Daniel was left stunned before breaking into a smile, seemingly thrilled by the news. But with no official confirmation from Daisy, fans aren’t convinced that Jenny’s claim is true.

Fans Suspect Another Twist in the Paternity Story

Given that Daisy never revealed the DNA results, many viewers believe that Jenny’s claim is either based on a misunderstanding or a deliberate attempt to push Daisy and Daniel back together. Some fans think this unexpected reveal only proves that Daniel isn’t the father after all.

Taking to social media, Corrie fans expressed their skepticism:

“No clue but I did think Ryan first of all.”

“Ryan, I reckon.”

“Think it’s Ryan’s or she says it is.”

“I was thinking the same—it’s Ryan’s, or she’s pretending it is!”

The theory that Ryan Connor could be the real father has gained traction, especially after a recent run-in between him and Daisy. Some viewers think Daisy might have miscalculated her due date, meaning the father could be someone she hadn’t even considered.

One fan wrote: “I don’t think it’s Daniel’s. Daisy was so weird about it all, and she hadn’t even had her dating scan yet. What if she’s further along than she thought? Ryan could be the dad!”

Another added: “Daisy wouldn’t even tell Jenny who the father was last week. Now suddenly Jenny is sure it’s Daniel? Something doesn’t add up.”

Could Kit Also Be Ruled Out?

While it was initially a two-way race between Daniel and Kit, some fans are now questioning whether Kit is actually in the mix at all.

One viewer speculated: “I did read it’s none of them, though!”

If this theory is true, it would mean the paternity story is set for an even bigger twist than fans originally expected. Could Daisy have kept quiet about the real father to avoid complications, only for the truth to come out at the worst possible moment?

What Does This Mean for Daisy’s Future?

With actress Charlotte Jordan rumored to be leaving Coronation Street, many fans are predicting that the paternity storyline will play a major role in Daisy’s exit. One theory suggests that Daniel will believe he’s the father and reunite with Daisy, only for the truth to come out later—leading to a dramatic departure.

One fan wrote: “I think Daisy’s exit will involve Daniel thinking it’s his, then reuniting, but it’s revealed to be Kit’s, causing her to leave.”

Another suggested: “Daisy might decide to leave when she realizes how messy this whole situation has become. It would explain why she’s been acting so secretive about the results.”

What’s Next for Daniel, Daisy, and the Baby?

As things stand, Daniel is overjoyed by the news, but with so many questions left unanswered, it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes out. If Jenny is wrong—or if Daisy has been hiding something—the fallout could be devastating.

Whether the baby’s father is Daniel, Kit, or even Ryan, Coronation Street fans are bracing for a dramatic revelation that could change everything.
