Corrie's Rob Mallard predicts more "pain" for Daniel and Daisy

Coronation Street star Rob Mallard has predicted that there's more pain ahead for Daniel Osbourne and his girlfriend Daisy Midgeley.

The on-screen couple's on-again, off-again relationship has certainly had a rocky journey, and for the time being, they're back together.

However, Mallard believes the writers will not be providing Daniel and Daisy with a smooth-sailing romance.

Speaking with The Mirror at the 2022 British Soap Awards, he shared: "She is fiery and he can be, but when two people like that are together they are just going to keep clashing, and separating and then getting back together."

On whether the couple will get their happy ending, he said: "I hope so, and that they have a little family unit with each other, but I think the writers are a bit more malicious than that so they are probably going to put them through a bit of pain first."

He did, however, share that he is not opposed to the drama, saying: "I love it. That's all the high drama. In real life you want everything to go smoothly, but in drama you don't because there is no drama otherwise, is there?"

And since it's drama he likes, the actor also said that he would love to play a villain at some point.

"I'd love to play the villain, but that is a very swift road out of the show, isn't it? So no, not from that perspective, but the fun they seem to have being villains, though, definitely," he added.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
