Daniel has been campaigning against the land being bought for redevelopment and he lashed out at Adam after feeling like he had been betrayed.

This coming Wednesday (18 November), their feud is set to intensify when tipsy Daniel is seen having a conversation with Alya.

He opens up to her about his hard time with relationships ever since Sinead passed away from cervical cancer in 2019.

As Alya tries to offer him some encouragement, Daniel wonders how Adam always finds such great women such as his previous wife Sarah and now Alya.

He offers Alya several compliments, before inexplicably leaning in for a kiss. Alya moves away, looking horrified by what Daniel attempted to do.

Daniel is already in Adam’s bad books but the lawyer is going to be incredibly unhappy when he eventually finds out.

Commenting on the strained relationship between the characters, Rob Mallard, who plays Daniel, said: “Daniel has a desperate desire to get Adam back for betraying him.

“Adam represented Megan and then he clashes with Daniel again over the school. Daniel's actively trying to blow up Adam's life.”

He added: "It's pain that makes Daniel cross a line. Ultimately, deep down, Adam and Daniel are loyal to each other.

“That said, I wouldn't be surprised if it sets off a prolonged chain of tit-for-tat retaliation that ends up escalating into something bigger.”

It has been a difficult year for Daniel, who was betrayed by ex-girlfriend Megan after it was revealed she was grooming school student Will while they were together.

Furthermore, he was beaten up by Will on Christmas Day 2025, targeted by Jodie with false online claims and failed to look after his son Bertie. The child wandered off when his dad passed out while drunk, leading to a kitchen fire in his flat.

Daniel is trying to do something positive after the last few months proved tough, but he becomes enraged when Adam gets in the way.

"Daniel feels like a fool, and he feels insignificant," Mallard explained. "He's desperate to do something positive to move on from a terrible year.

"He's not suddenly turned into a passionate environmentalist – it's become a personal benchmark to prove his worth. And then Adam goes and messes it all up."

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
