Overview

• Tabloid and local outlets on October 8 highlighted Facebook fan-page chatter predicting a Danny Baldwin comeback nearly two decades after his exit.
• Fans point to Bradley Walsh’s 2014 Jonathan Ross interview where he said he would not rule out a return.
• He played Danny from 2004 to 2006, left for Spain after selling Underworld shares to Paul Connor, and has since remained a regular presence on UK TV including The Chase and Blankety Blank.
• Viewers argue Danny’s existing connections on the Street, such as his link to Adam, make a potential storyline plausible.
• There has been no announcement from Bradley Walsh, Coronation Street producers, or ITV, and the reports reflect fan speculation rather than confirmed casting.
