Coronation Street’s Daniel Osbourne faces a harmful accusation from Hope Dobbs next week, as he struggles with the fallout from his relationship with evil Megan Walsh. Daniel and Megan briefly dated before the athletics coach was exposed for her grooming of student Will Driscoll.

Since Megan’s arrest, Daniel has continued to work at Weatherfield High School, though rumours have been swirling around the school about his ex girlfriend.]

Next week, Daniel will accuse Hope of using AI on her poetry assignment. Confronting Hope in the corridor of Weatherfield High, Daniel tells her she must write a new poem.

When Hope says she needs to “wait for the inspiration to strike,” Daniel pushes her to write a new poem during her break.

Defiantly, Hope says she can write one on the spot and takes the exercise book and pen from Daniel and begins writing a spiteful poem about his relationship with Megan.

Reading it aloud, Hope says: “Mr Osbourne must be thick, he was dating a woman who was totally sick. She had a thing with a student…”

Before she can finish, Daniel lurches towards Hope to take the workbook off her, causing her to scream and accuse the teacher of assaulting her.

As Daniel tries to deescalate the situation, Hope walks off saying she’s going to tell headteacher Mrs Crawshaw.

Our Weatherfield insider previously said: “This is a potentially career-ending combination for Daniel because instead of dealing with Hope being cheeky and provocative, he loses it.”

Further spoilers have revealed that the incident at school will cause Daniel to spiral, leaving his son Betie scared by his dad’s anger.

This will lead Daniel to decide he needs to be alone and he tells his family he’s going to the Lakes.

However Daniel will actually lock himself away at home, with only a bottle of whisky for company.

Will Daniel ever be able to rebuild his life and put his relationship with Megan behind him?
