Coronation Street favourite Rob Mallard has hinted that his character Daniel Osbourne could be the next serial killer on the Cobbles.
Over the past few weeks, ITV fans have been glued to their screens as Daisy Midgeley and Ryan Connor continue to grow close following the fallout of Justin Rutherford’s horrific acid attack last month.
Loyal viewers will remember the barmaid has been catfishing her former flame for several weeks while pretending to be his ex-girlfriend, Crystal.

Now, in an exclusive interview with Daily Star at the British Soap Awards, the TV hunk has hinted that his character could take a dark turn.
When asked if the teacher will find out about their stolen kiss, he confirmed: “He will find out.
“I don’t know how he finds out because it’s not been written so judging from that it’s going to be something further down the line. But I hope when he does find out that they’re going to clash.”

It was at this point that the soap star revealed that he could be the next serial killer on the Cobbles after learning the truth about their romance.
Rob continued: “I’d love to [be a killer]. Everyone seems to forget that I pushed Ken [Barlow] down the stairs, I’m really getting away with it, don’t I?
“And I pushed Max [Turner] – that’s my M.O [motive]. I’ve pushed an 80-year-old man down the stairs and I’ve pushed a 17-year-old man down the stairs.

He went on: “Everybody needs to be careful around Daniel and stairs, that’s generally the rule. I’ve got a sort of nascent serial killer type face.”
The actor went on to reassure fans that Daniel and Daisy will get married later down the line, but their relationship will be tested over the next few months.
When asked if they would still tie the knot, Rob revealed: “I think so, yes eventually. I don’t think it’ll happen any time soon though because happy characters don’t give drama.
“And I think Daniel and Daisy, their personalities are so different that when they clash, they really clash so I’m hoping that we’ll get to play a bit more of the conflict before the wedding.”
