Coronation Street fans surely love a good mystery, and the arrival of Lou Michaelis only makes the fans’ dreams come true. The couple’s entry has already fired up many speculations—and they have been referred to as the “nightmare neighbors” for good reasons. Since her first day on the cobbles, she has been creating a lot of chaos. But now, the fans have come up with a theory that could tie her to one of the popular Weatherfield families. Which family is it?
Is Lou Connected to the Platts?
Fans on social media have some theories about Lou’s real identity. Many believe that she could be linked to the Platt family. One of the most popular fan theories suggests that she might be related to Shona Platt—perhaps even as a long-lost sibling. On a fan page, one viewer commented, “Lou really reminds me of Shona!” while another speculated, “It’ll probably come out that they are related and long-lost siblings!”
This wouldn’t be the first time the soap has delivered a long-lost family storyline. Shona herself entered the show in 2016 with a mysterious past before she was revealed as the mother of Clayton Hibbs. Could Lou be another secret sibling hidden from the Platts all these years?
Lou Commented On Her Role
Elsewhere, Farrel Hegarty, who plays Lou, has expressed her experience to be a part of the soap. She said about her role, “I’m delighted and so grateful to be joining the cast of Coronation Street. I have genuinely been blown away by how ridiculously warm and nice everyone is.” Teasing Lou’s personality— she added, “Lou is an exciting character to play. She’s got good and bad parts to her; she’s a life force full of beans.”
Not only that, but Hegarty also hinted at the trouble Lou and Mick might bring. She says, “She’s a very colorful person who likes to make waves and try to cause chaos. However, she also has strong family loyalty, especially between Mick and Lou. They are thick as thieves and will stick up for each other, even when they probably shouldn’t.” As Mick is about to enter on Friday, February 14, viewers expect a lot.
If the fan theory is proven to be true, then the troubles for the Platt family will not end soon. What happens next, only the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers can reveal. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
