Drama continues to unfold in Coronation Street as Daisy Midgeley’s pregnancy storyline takes a shocking turn.
In Wednesday’s episode, Daisy unexpectedly fled from her 12-week baby scan, leaving Daniel Osbourne bewildered and in pursuit.
Now, fans of the ITV soap are speculating that there may be more to Daisy’s abrupt exit than meets the eye.
Daisy’s Complicated Pregnancy Journey
Daisy’s pregnancy has been fraught with complications from the start.
Last year, she discovered she was expecting, but the revelation soon became even more dramatic when it emerged that there were two possible fathers—Daniel Osbourne,
her former fiancé, and Kit Green, a police officer with whom she had a brief fling.
After taking a DNA test, Daisy chose to keep the results to herself. However, her stepmother, Jenny Connor, unknowingly stirred up chaos when she mistakenly informed Daniel that he was the father. Overjoyed by the news, Daniel wasted no time in expressing his love for Daisy and his desire to rebuild their relationship. He even shared his supposed paternity with his family, believing this baby would bring them closer together.
Jenny’s Interference and Daisy’s Deception
Daisy was left in turmoil over Jenny’s actions, especially as she insisted that Kit was actually the biological father. She vowed to clear up the confusion, but before she could tell Daniel the truth, he paid Jenny a visit and made an unexpected confession—he knew about the debts Jenny owed Carla Connor and was willing to use his son Bertie’s trust fund to buy the Rovers Return and keep their family together.
A desperate Jenny saw an opportunity and urged Daisy to maintain the lie about Daniel’s paternity. If Daniel continued to believe he was the father, his financial contribution could help them out of their money troubles. Torn between guilt and pragmatism, Daisy reluctantly agreed to go along with the deception.
A Sudden Exit Sparks Fan Theories
As the weight of the situation bore down on her, Daisy attended her 12-week scan alongside Daniel. However, rather than embracing the moment, she became visibly overwhelmed and abruptly left the appointment. Her reaction raised eyebrows, not just for Daniel but also for viewers at home, many of whom believe there is a much bigger secret at play.
Social media quickly buzzed with speculation, with many soap fans theorizing that neither Daniel nor Kit is actually the father. Some viewers suspect that Daisy may have miscalculated her pregnancy timeline, leading to a shocking revelation at the scan.
One fan took to X (formerly Twitter), writing: “My verdict for who the father is of Daisy’s kid on #Corrie – I bet it’s NEITHER Kit or Daniel as it says that she runs out of the appointment, and I reckon she knows that she is more than 12 weeks.”
Another viewer chimed in with an alternative theory: “I’m still hoping Ryan is the father of Daisy’s baby… #Corrie.” A third added: “Wouldn’t surprise me if Daisy’s baby turns out to be Ryan’s #Corrie.”
Could Ryan Connor Be the Real Father?
The possibility of Ryan Connor being the father is not as far-fetched as it might seem. Daisy and Ryan had an affair while she was still with Daniel, leading to the eventual breakdown of their engagement. The pair later pursued a brief relationship, but it wasn’t built to last. Meanwhile, Daniel moved on with Bethany Platt.
However, soap relationships are never straightforward, and Daisy and Daniel had a moment of weakness during a temporary break from their respective partners. When Bethany discovered the truth, she chose to leave Weatherfield to pursue a new job opportunity in London.
With all these entanglements, the timeline of Daisy’s pregnancy is murky at best. If she is, in fact, further along than she claimed, it could indicate that the baby is neither Kit’s nor Daniel’s but Ryan’s instead—setting the stage for even more drama.
What Happens Next?
With Daisy now entangled in a web of lies, her decision to keep quiet about the real father will likely come back to haunt her. If she truly knows that the baby isn’t Daniel’s, she risks breaking his heart all over again when the truth inevitably comes out.
Furthermore, Jenny’s involvement adds another layer of pressure. By encouraging Daisy to keep the lie going for financial reasons, she may be setting up an even bigger disaster if Daniel eventually discovers the deception.
As Coronation Street continues to keep viewers on their toes, one thing is certain—Daisy’s pregnancy revelation is far from over, and the real father’s identity could send shockwaves through Weatherfield. Fans will have to stay tuned to see whether their theories prove true and what consequences Daisy will face for her actions.
