Yahoo News Corrie star confirms Phelan danger for Daniel
Coronation Street star Rob Mallard has confirmed rumours that Daniel Osbourne is in danger of becoming Pat Phelan's next victim.
Fans began speculating over a possible storyline twist for the unlikely pairing a few weeks ago, when Rob was pictured filming scenes alongside Corrie villain Connor McIntyre, who plays Phelan.
It's still unclear what will bring the two characters into each other's orbits, but joker Rob is starting the fighting talk early by boasting about his character's chances against Phelan.
"I have some scenes coming up with Phelan and I'm looking forward to those," Rob told Inside Soap.
"I think half of the audience will be thinking, 'Good, Phelan should kill him off, I don't like him!' and the other half will think, 'No! Not Daniel!'
"But I've survived an attempted murder of the longest-running character in soap, so hopefully I'll survive this.
"It's just a scrape with a Scouser – I'm sure I'll be fine."
Rob and Connor were pictured working on location together in early August. The scenes in question, which have yet to air, see Daniel paying a visit to an old people's home – with Phelan secretly following him in his van.
Who could Daniel be visiting in the home? And why is Phelan so interested? We'll find out more when the scenes air in a few weeks' time.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
