Coronation Street's Rob Mallard on Daniel and Daisy's future

Coronation Street spoilers follow.

Coronation Street's Rob Mallard, who plays Daniel Osbourne, has backed a possible future for his character and Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan).

The festering drama between Max (Paddy Bever) and Daniel has warranted some intervention from Daisy in an effort to diffuse recent tension. Speaking about his feelings towards her, the star has revealed what the future might hold for the two.

"He's interested in her," Rob said. "But he's also wary of her because of the Alya and Ryan triangle. He jumped in very quickly with Nicky, he jumped in very quickly with Bethany and to some extent with Sinead, he was set up to go to Oxford when he met her, so he doesn't want to do that again.

"His life could have been very different if he hadn’t stuck around with Sinead, which I think is one of the reasons why he chooses to help Summer over Max, he sees that he can help Summer escape Weatherfield.

"I don't think he regrets any of the choices he made, but looking back he knows his life could have been very different had he made a different choice there," he added.

The actor says Daniel has no regrets, however, now that Bertie is in the picture, saying: "It's not a regret, it's just an alternate timeline, we all have them, where one decision can change the course of your life."

Speaking about how Daniel is coping with being a single dad, the star said he's taken to it "quite well" because it's a "piece of Sinead".

"Bertie matters to him, he’s a living piece of her so he takes being his dad very seriously."

In comparison to Sinead, the actor explained what drew him to Daisy, especially given their differences.

"Daisy's very forthcoming, whereas Bethany and Sinead were both quite reserved, never rude, nor did they stretch their ambition so he's interested in that aspect of Daisy, she's feisty. She's really not his type though, she's brunette for a start and he's got a long track record with blondes with Sinead, Bethany and Nicky.

"She's different, she's not like the women who’ve come into his life in the past but she also scares him a bit. He can tell that she's calculated but then he's attracted to that danger, we're all attracted to a bid of danger."

In the case of Daniel and Daisy, it seems like their differences will work in each other’s favour, the star hinting: "Often those partnerships you think won't work turn out to be the best ones.

"People's differences can complement each other and that can be interesting. I think their differences complement each other rather than pushing them further away.

"Her ambition and cheekiness bring out more of a spine in Daniel almost. He's been very dutiful over the last few years and he needs a bit of fun in his life, a bit of excitement and Daisy certainly brings that," Rob confessed.

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
