Coronation Street to be rocked by shocking STD health crisis in cruel twist after love triangle
CORONATION Street has sparked rumours an explosive STI storyline is set to rock Weatherfield.
Speculation is rife that a tangled web of romances could lead to a health crisis for some of the cobbles’ favourite characters.
The drama centres on Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), who’s landed himself in hot water after cheating on girlfriend Bethany Platt (Lucy Fallon) with ex Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan).
The pair had a secret tryst at the Rovers Return, leaving Daisy heartbroken when Daniel regretted his actions.
Now Daisy has moved on to fresh love interest Kit Green (Jacob Roberts), a dashing new police officer.
But fans have spotted a problem – Kit has a messy romantic history, including a fling with Shona Platt (Julia Goulding).
To make matters worse, Kit was recently spotted sharing a cryptic goodbye with an unnamed woman, sparking fears he’s juggling multiple relationships.
Coronation Street is known for tackling real-life issues, from mental health to domestic abuse, and fans believe an STI plot could highlight the risks of infidelity and the importance of sexual health.
Viewers reckon this love triangle – or rather, love hexagon – could spiral into a shocking STI storyline.
One fan tweeted: “They’re all going to get something,” while another said: “You watch, they’ll have a clap story next.”
A third said: “They are all going to get sexual diseases!!”
Soap bosses have yet to confirm the fan theory.
COBBLES EXIT
It’s already been a rollercoaster first year back in Weatherfield for Bethany Platt, who returned on New Year’s Eve last year.
While she reunited with former love Daniel Osbourne, their relationship hasn’t ran smoothly.
Bethany was also left gobsmacked in scens earlier this month when she discovered that Daniel had given her clothes to his ex-fiancée, Daisy (Charlotte Jordan), instead of donating them to a charity shop as she had requested.
Despite his efforts to convince Bethany that he was acting in her best interests, Bethany was left fuming over his secrecy and his continued friendship with his ex-fiancée.
Daniel headed to the Rovers Return pub, drinking himself into oblivion.
He then crashed his car into a wall, but managed to get out unscathed, and Daisy covered up for him.
She was then questioned by copper Kit Green.
Meanwile, it was revealed in August that Lucy Fallon – who plays Bethany – is pregnant with her second child.
And earlier this week, the actress revealed she had just a few weeks left before baby number two arrives which means Bethany will be off the cobbles while Lucy goes on maternity leave.
Lucy, who already shares son Sonny, 23 months, with Preston North End footballer Ryan Ledson.
