Since the death of his beloved wife Sinead, Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard) has struggled to maintain a strong front with baby Bertie as his family has assumed that he is over the worst of his grief in Coronation Street.

But after realising they had been neglecting him and just concluding that he must be okay, the Barlow clan are once more concerned about how Daniel is coping – and he too realises how empty his live feels right now.

Adam (Sam Robertson) arranges to come round for drinks with Daniel, which gives him a bit of hope at last that he will have a break from his routine but when Adam ends up cancelling on him, he is disappointed and spends the night just talking to a photograph of Sinead.

Rob explained to us: ‘Daniel gets very excited about the prospect of Adam coming over, it’s like the smallest encounter becomes the biggest deal which is kind of like how it has been during lockdown!

‘Daniel even makes some very bad fairy cakes but Adam bails on him and Daniel finds himself talking to a picture of Sinead. He sees her face and he talks to her as though she is there but then he realises what he is doing, he is talking to himself, and he thinks, “right, this is ridiculous now, I need to snap out of this.”’

Adam makes up for his vanishing act by inviting Daniel to some swanky drinks at a party for lawyers but Daniel soon finds himself out of his comfort zone.

That is, until he catches the eye of a girl called Nicky, who is soon paying an interest in him and making him smile.

Rob shared: ‘Nicky has no boundaries and for Daniel, who is so uptight, it’s refreshing to have someone who doesn’t tip-toe around him. She is very bolshy and that is what attracts him.

‘She is very opposite to Sinead because Sinead wasn’t like that but they are both a similar height, both are blonde and from the first glance, subconsciously, he will have been drawn to her. But she has a completely different energy to Sinead.’

Things are soon going well and Adam dares to hope that Daniel might be able to move on when he and Nicky announce they are going to make a night of it.

But will it be quite as simple as that?
