Coronation Street fans are predicting an affair will be taking place between two characters on the show soon, before one of the actors leaves the ITV soap in the summer.
This speculation emerged after Wednesday's (May 28) episode, where Lou Michaelis (Farrel Hegarty) continued dealing with the fallout of Craig Tinker's (Colson Smith) death.
Craig was attacked by Mick Michaelis (Joe Layton) and later died from his injuries in heartbreaking scenes.
With Mick currently behind bars, Lou is being shunned by the community because of her husband's actions.
After Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) sacked Lou from her job at the salon, she exchanged words with Gary Windass (Mikey North) at the pub, asking what she's ever done wrong to him.
Seeing Lou's card get declined, Gary bought them both a drink and sat with her.
However, their conversation was cut short after Maria stumbled upon the duo and demanded that Gary return home.
As reported by The Express, this short interaction between Lou and Gary caused some to believe an affair storyline was going to develop between them.
Taking to social media, one person said: "Calling it now - IF Lou is staying around long enough, I wonder if she’ll have an affair with Gary before she goes."
Another wrote: "I think they may be pushing towards a Lou/Gary affair."
A third posted: "Keep your undies on, Gary, don't be going down the Lou route."
If this theory is to be proved true, it will have to be done quickly as Lou actress Farrel Hegarty is set to leave the soap at some point in the summer.
A Coronation Street spokesperson said: "This is not a shock exit or an early exit.

"Mick and Lou were brought into the show to cause chaos on the cobbles in the build-up to a major storyline in the summer and they are already making their presence felt.
"Joe and Farrell were contracted for a specific length of time, some characters come in for a long time and some like Mick and Lou are brought to pass through and leave a trail of destruction behind them.
"Both actors are still filming with the show and will be on screen until the summer."
