Coronation Street viewers are convinced that Ryan Connor may have a new love interest in Danielle Silverton, following scenes this week that showcased what fans describe as 'clear chemistry' between the pair. The speculation arose during an episode where Ryan confronted Danielle about the night of her ex-husband Theo's murder.
Despite the serious nature of the conversation, many fans were distracted by the dynamic between the characters. Some questioned whether they had been together that night, but this was quickly ruled out when Ryan explained the events. However, viewers took to social media to express their belief that the two would 'make a great couple'.
One fan commented: 'It was very strange the way Ryan raced out of the Bistro after Danielle when he could have told Lisa who was sat with him. I wonder if it was a deliberate way to show some interaction between them. I did detect some chemistry between them. I can see them going down the affair route, from enemies to lovers.'
Another viewer added: 'If Danielle is innocent, she and Ryan would make a cute couple!' while a third noted: 'The sexual tension between Ryan & Danielle was palpable.' The comments have prompted calls for soap bosses to pursue the storyline, with one fan urging: 'Corrie if you weren't planning to make Danielle & Ryan date, start planning now.'
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
