Could a shock baby twist be in Daniel and Daisy’s future?
Rob Mallard on baby twist for Daniel in Coronation Street
Speaking to the Daily Star, Rob addressed Daniel’s future on the soap. Commenting on Daniel‘s character, Rob said: “[Daniel’s] quite noble, isn’t he? He’s a mini Ken with a chip on his shoulder and he feels like he has to do something meaningful. Being in the STC [Secure Training Centre] to give kids another chance when they leave, I think he sees it as a noble profession.”
Marriage drama for Daniel and Daisy?
When pressed on the future of Daniel and Daisy’s relationship, Rob suggested that marriage could still be on the cards. “I think they will eventually [get married]. I don’t think it’ll happen any time soon though, because happy characters don’t give drama.”
I think he just needs to expand his brood, I’d love that.
Viewers will remember that Daniel and Daisy were set to be married in March. However, the big day was called off when Daisy was attacked on their wedding day – with stalker Justin throwing a glass of acid at her. In the resulting violence, Ryan Connor was horribly burned, and the wedding postponed indefinitely.
Daniel needs to ‘expand his brood’
Rob continued: “And I think Daniel and Daisy, their personalities are so different that when they clash, they really clash. So I’m hoping that we’ll get to play a bit more of the conflict before the wedding. Eventually one day I think he will be [a dad]. I think he just needs to expand his brood, I’d love that.”
Will Rob’s hopes for Daniel come true?
