Coronation Street viewers are convinced that Ryan Connor is set for a new romance following scenes this week that showcased 'clear chemistry' with Danielle Silverton. The pair confronted each other over the night of Theo's murder, but fans were more focused on their on-screen dynamic.
Social media erupted with speculation, with one fan noting: '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 did detect some chemistry between them.' Another added: 'The sexual tension between Ryan & Danielle was palpable.'
While some viewers initially wondered if the pair had been together that night, this was quickly ruled out. However, many are now calling for the soap to explore a relationship between them, with comments such as 'If Danielle is innocent, she and Ryan would make a cute couple!' and 'Corrie if you weren't planning to make Danielle & Ryan date, start planning now.'
Fans are also speculating about a potential 'enemies to lovers' storyline, which they believe would be unpopular with characters Lisa and Carla. One viewer said: 'I can see them going down the affair route, from enemies to lovers. It would definitely be unpopular with Lisa and Carla.'
Coronation Street airs weeknights at 8:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
