Coronation Street viewers are convinced that Ryan Connor (played by Ryan Prescott) is set for a new romance with Danielle Silverton (portrayed by Rebecca Ryan), following scenes this week that showcased what fans describe as 'clear chemistry' between the characters.
The speculation arose after Ryan confronted Danielle about the night of her ex-husband Theo's murder. Despite the serious nature of the conversation, fans were distracted by the pair's on-screen dynamic, with many taking to social media to express their belief that they would make a great couple.
One fan commented: 'I did detect some chemistry between them. I can see them going down the affair route, from enemies to lovers.' Another added: 'If Danielle is innocent, she and Ryan would make a cute couple!' A third viewer noted: 'The sexual tension between Ryan & Danielle was palpable.'
While some fans speculated that the pair might have been together on the night of the murder, this was quickly ruled out by Ryan's explanation of events. However, the idea of a future relationship has gained traction, with one fan urging: 'Corrie if you weren't planning to make Danielle & Ryan date, start planning now.'
Another viewer suggested that a romance could be a way to keep Danielle on the show, saying: 'I am still convinced she's linked to Theo's murder, but Ryan deserves to be happy so why not have them find love?'
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
