DECISION TIME
Daisy, Daisy, give us your answer, do: is it Daniel or Ryan you want? The barmaid is given a bit of breathing space from her complicated love life when Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) takes a break from Weatherfield to spend time with his mum Michelle in Ireland.
Will a few weeks of focusing on Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) and his young son Bertie prove the perfect tonic, or will Ryan's absence make Miss Midgeley's heart grow fonder? And could a relationship between her and Ryan ever work, anyway?
'Personally, I don't know if it would be a good idea, because it stems from so much trauma,' says Charlotte Jordan, 28, who plays Daisy. 'I don't know how healthy it is.
'Daisy does have a lot in common with Ryan, so if it was a genuine thing that didn't stem from trauma, then it could be something quite good. But at the end of the day, that's not what has happened, so I think she would be better with Daniel in the long term.'
There is, of course, the issue of what Ryan wants. He sent Daisy to Coventry after finding out she was his mystery catfisher posing as Crystal, and when he arrives back on home soil at the end of the month, he rebukes her efforts to talk.
Scarred by his acid-attack ordeal - mentally as much as physically-he distracts himself with a new pastime. But will this prove a positive step forward or a destructive step back? And if it's the latter, will Daisy feel compelled to help him pick up the pieces?
