Daniel Osbourne has had more than his fair share of romantic ups and downs in Coronation Street. After saying goodbye to not one but two big loves this year, fans might’ve expected him to lay low for a while. But as it turns out, a brand new romance is already on the horizon.
A Year of Goodbyes for Daniel
Earlier this year, Daniel waved goodbye to Bethany Platt after she landed a new job in London. The storyline coincided with actress Lucy Fallon’s maternity leave, and viewers saw Daniel trying to come to terms with yet another breakup.
Just when things started to settle, Daisy Midgeley made a dramatic exit from the Street in May. Actress Charlotte Jordan’s departure marked a permanent end to the Daniel-Daisy storyline, as she left to explore new career opportunities. With both Bethany and Daisy gone, Daniel has once again found himself single, and searching for what comes next.
Rob Mallard Hints at New Romance in Coronation Street
Speaking exclusively at the 2025 British Soap Awards, Rob Mallard revealed that Daniel’s next chapter is already in the works. While keeping things vague, he confirmed that a new love interest is coming, saying Daniel would be “falling head over heels again.”
He added that the timing of the new romance is still under wraps but hinted that fans won’t have to wait too long. Now that Daniel’s back teaching at the school, he’s expected to share more screen time with the younger cast, so it’s possible his next love story will blossom there.
Daniel’s track record in love hasn’t been great, but with fresh opportunities on the horizon, fans are hopeful. Will this next romance be the one that finally sticks, or is Daniel headed for more heartache?
