Coronation Street fans are abuzz with speculation over the true paternity of Daisy Midgeley’s baby, convinced that the soap is gearing up for another dramatic twist.
Over the Christmas period, Daisy (Charlotte Jordan) discovered she was pregnant, sparking a tense mystery over who the father could be.
Initially, the potential candidates were narrowed down to Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts),
both of whom had relationships with Daisy around the time of conception. However, new clues have led fans to suspect that the real father may not be either of them.
Daisy’s Secret DNA Test
Earlier this year, Daisy took a DNA test to determine who the father of her child was.
However, rather than revealing the results, she has kept the truth hidden, refusing to tell even her closest confidante, Jenny Connor (Sally Ann Matthews).
The tension reached a boiling point in the episode that aired on Wednesday, when both Daniel and Kit confronted Daisy, demanding answers about the baby’s paternity. Despite their persistence, Daisy continued to lie, pretending that she was still waiting for the test results.
This reluctance to disclose the truth has only fueled fan speculation, with many believing that her secrecy suggests a far more shocking revelation.
A Clue at Daisy’s 12-Week Scan?
Upcoming Coronation Street spoilers reveal that Daisy will attend her 12-week pregnancy scan next week, but instead of embracing the moment, she abruptly flees the appointment, overwhelmed by what she sees on the monitor.
This unexpected reaction has left fans questioning whether she has realized something significant about her pregnancy—specifically, that she may be further along than she initially thought. If true, this could mean that neither Kit nor Daniel is the father, but rather someone from an earlier point in her life.
Could Ryan Connor Be the Real Father?
Many Coronation Street fans have now turned their attention to Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott), believing that he could be the true father of Daisy’s baby.
Longtime viewers will remember that Daisy cheated on Daniel with Ryan before she and Ryan eventually became an official couple. However, their romance was short-lived, and following their breakup, Daisy briefly rekindled her relationship with Daniel while he was taking a break from his new love interest, Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon).
With so much back-and-forth in Daisy’s love life, fans are now theorizing that she may have had another secret night with Ryan—one that she has kept under wraps.
Taking to social media platform X (formerly Twitter), one fan speculated:
“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 agreed, saying:
“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.”
How Will the Truth Unfold?
If Ryan is indeed the father, it could spell even more drama for Daisy, Daniel, and Kit. Given her history of deception, Daisy’s hesitation to reveal the truth could suggest she is fearful of the fallout—especially considering how much chaos her relationships have already caused.
Daniel, who has been vocal about wanting to raise the baby, could be left heartbroken if he discovers that the child isn’t his after all. Meanwhile, Kit—who has been eager to take responsibility if the baby is his—might feel equally betrayed.
As for Ryan, if he turns out to be the father, it could lead to a major shift in his storyline. Having recently endured a turbulent year, including recovering from an acid attack, a surprise baby could either help him move forward or create new complications.
Charlotte Jordan’s Departure Adds Another Layer of Mystery
Adding to the intrigue is the recent news that Charlotte Jordan, who has played Daisy for five years, is leaving Coronation Street. While details of her exit storyline remain under wraps, many believe the baby twist could play a role in her departure.
Could the revelation of the true father be the catalyst that pushes Daisy to leave Weatherfield for good? Or will she stick around to face the consequences of her actions?
With Coronation Street known for its jaw-dropping paternity twists, fans will have to stay tuned to see how this dramatic storyline unfolds. One thing is certain—Daisy’s secret won’t stay hidden forever, and when the truth comes out, it’s bound to send shockwaves through the cobbles.
