Coronation Street’s producer, Kate Brooks, recently revealed that the romantic entanglements involving Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon), and Daisy Midgley (Charlotte Jordan) are far from resolved, promising a major storyline as we move into 2025. “It’s a brilliant love triangle that keeps on giving,” she stated. “Daniel loves two women—Bethany and Daisy. Not many can juggle that, but if anyone can, it’s a Barlow!”

As Christmas approaches, Daisy grapples with her feelings. She’s torn between wanting to explore her new relationship with Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) and her lingering affection for Daniel. This tension escalates when a dinner intended to be romantic with Kit at Speed Daal turns awkward upon discovering that Daniel and Bethany are seated just a table away, enjoying a cozy meal together.

On Christmas Day, Daniel seems to make up his mind about his future, surprising everyone by proposing to Bethany. This moment crushes any hopes Daisy had of rekindling her relationship with him.

In the days that follow, Sarah (Tina O’Brien) becomes alarmed when she spots her daughter’s fiancé, Daniel, in a deep conversation with a visibly upset Daisy. After their talk, Daisy is left heartbroken and retreats to the back room of the Rovers, with Sarah following her to check on her.

In the wake of the engagement, Daisy faces a tough choice. During her previous engagement to Daniel, she formed a strong bond with his son, Bertie. Initially hesitant about becoming a stepmother, Daisy found herself deeply touched when Bertie affectionately called her “Mummy.” Over time, her connection with Bertie grew, adding complexity to her situation as she navigates her feelings and future.
