Coronation Street's Rob Mallard has teased a huge feud to come between the Barlow and Platt families on the cobbles.
Things have certainly been tense between actor's character Daniel Osbourne and David Platt in recent months, with events set to hit another breaking point next week.
Viewers will see Daniel clash with teen Max Turner once again after the latter breaks into his flat, pushing him down the stairs when he learns that Max accidentally broke some clay imprints of his, Bertie and Sinead's hands.
The return to a dark place for Daniel will no doubt have big consequences going forward, potentially putting his teaching job in jeopardy.
Speaking about his job, Rob explained: "It's really important to him, he's worked so hard on his PGCE and he wants to do something meaningful. He tells David he wants to make a difference and he can do that through teaching.
"It is something he cares a lot about and it's made his life the most normal it's been for years. After Sinead died his life was turned upside down, he was left alone with Bertie and he didn't know where he was headed. It's a nice little anchor for him in the world, that's separate to being a dad."

Rob revealed that the latest incident will spark a running feud between the Platts and the Barlows, the star admitting that "there's too much water under the bridge now".
"It goes a bit wild west, they both have information on each other that they could use to get the other into serious trouble but they take the law into their own hands and decide to settle things between them."
Rob added he's been enjoying the dynamic between the two families, noting: "There are a lot of connections between them, they're vaguely related now that Sarah and Adam are married so we've found groups of people forced to spend time together who wouldn't normally."
He also said that he's "really enjoying" working with the younger cast in the school setting, revealing they have "a real laugh".
"I've been here for six years now so these are faces I know and I've watched grow up but I haven't worked with them before, so it's like fresh blood in the cast and I love it. We have a real laugh," he said.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7.30pm on ITV.
