Coronation Street viewers are convinced Daisy Midgeley is set for a shock pregnancy – but the father is not who you might think

Coronation Street viewers are convinced Daisy Midgeley is heading for an unexpected pregnancy – and Daniel Osbourne isn’t the father. Soap regular Daisy, played by Charlotte Jordan, arrived in the cobbles in 2020 as Jenny Connor’s (Sally Ann Matthews) stepdaughter. She quickly became a fan favourite. Daisy has been central to several major plotlines.

In 2023, she was embroiled in a distressing acid attack storyline that resulted in Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) suffering life-altering injuries while trying to defend her. Alongside the drama, Daisy’s romantic life has been turbulent. She was engaged to Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), but cheated on him with Ryan. The truth emerged, and Daniel has since moved on with Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon).

However, their relationship has been strained recently due to Bethany’s botched cosmetic surgery, reports Lancs Live. As for Daisy, she recently started a relationship with soap newcomer and corrupt policeman Kit Green (Jacob Roberts). But this week, things took a dramatic turn when Daisy slept with Daniel.

Before their surprising sexual encounter, Daisy covered for Daniel after she saw him steal Debbie Webster’s (Sue Devaney) new car and crash it. To protect him, Daisy told Daniel she would handle it – and did her best to hide any evidence.

In a classic soap opera twist, after enduring a complicated situation, Daisy and Daniel ended up in bed together, an encounter which Daniel quickly regretted, leaving Daisy devastated. Soap enthusiasts are now theorising that Daisy might be in for a surprise pregnancy revelation.

While numerous theories are floating around about who the father could be, fans are divided. On a “Coronation Street” fan page on Facebook, speculation is rife. A fan speculated: “Daisy will find out she’s pregnant in a few weeks isn’t she?” Followers of the show flocked to debate the potential paternity in the comments section, with one viewer expressing: “Yup, but I don’t want it to be Daniel.”

Another reasoned: “I would say Kit. We didn’t see them sleep together but it could have easily happened.” And another predicted the writers’ intentions with: “Knowing the writers probably!”
