“Daisy deserves the most in your face wedding you can imagine!”

Coronation Street star Charlotte Jordan loves playing out Daisy and Daniel’s relationship, but will they ever tie the knot?

When Rovers barmaid Daisy Midgeley first arrived on Coronation Street, she was on track to be the new villain of the show. But fast-forward two years and she not only makes us howl with her witty one-liners, but she also tugs on our heartstrings.

Over the last month, Daisy has been trying to recover from her stalking ordeal that ended in an acid attack on her wedding day. Her stalker, Justin Rutherford (Andrew Still) attacked Daisy, but it was Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) who jumped in front of her and as a result, has life-changing injuries.

Daisy and fiancé Daniel Osbourne’s (Rob Mallard) special day may have been ruined, but actress Charlotte Jordan, 27, assures us that their relationship is still going strong, for now.

“They’re still very much in love,” says Charlotte. “There’s just this horrible trauma that happened to them. I am fully team Daniel and Daisy, and I would be devastated if they split. I think they just work in the long run. Rob is ace, and we have put a lot of groundwork into making them a long-term couple.”

But viewers won’t be pleased to hear there’s trouble ahead as Daniel becomes jealous of Daisy and Ryan spending so much time together. Daisy is going above and beyond to help Ryan, and is even impersonating his latest love interest, Crystal, so as to not hurt Ryan’s feelings.

“Oh Daisy!” despairs Charlotte. “I don’t think she’s aware that the green-eyed monster is coming out a bit in Daniel. But she just doesn’t want to cause Ryan anymore pain. Crystal’s not telling Ryan she wants nothing to do with him, so it’s down to Daisy to do it and she’s not prepared for that.

“Daisy feels a great sense of guilt and no one else is going to understand what they went through. I would like it very much if they stayed friends, but I don’t think that’s the plan! There’s going to be a lot of confusion and a lot of complexity around her relationship with Ryan and Daniel. And I think long running wise it might morph into, can you love two people at once?”

Daisy’s stalking storyline has been stretching on for months and has been an uncomfortable watch. But luckily, Charlotte’s nearest and dearest differentiate fact from fiction, especially when it comes to dramatic scenes like the acid attack.

“I’ve been doing this for a while now, so they’re used to separating character and person,” she says. “But even my dad called me after to say how brilliant it was, and he never does that! So I feel like it achieved what it was supposed to achieve, hopefully. But they were really supportive and really pleased with it!”

Thanks to Justin, Daisy never got to walk down the aisle, but Charlotte insists that her character deserves a do-over.

“I feel like Daisy deserves the most in your face, disgusting, big bash wedding you can imagine on television!” exclaims Charlotte. “Even though the instinct would be to do something really quiet and tame, and not in your face. I feel like just because of everything that’s happened and the whole mentality of victim blaming, it should go the other way. The girl should get her big, bolshy wedding, and no one should have an opinion on it.”

Charlotte has been busy going to off-screen ceremonies too and recently went to see her ex co-star Alex Mardell (Emma Brooker) tie the knot to her now husband, Joe Parker, in Yorkshire.

“It was lovely, Alex looked so beautiful, stunning,” says Charlotte. “She and Joe are so happy, it was a really, really well done wedding. It was probably one of the best ones I’ve been to, she did such a great job and deserves all the happiness in the world.”

Charlotte’s recent scenes have been a lot more serious than when she first arrived and lived a more carefree life on the cobbles. But Charlotte still breaks up the weighty moments on set.

“I’m always goofing around,” she laughs. “I can snap in and out of stuff quite easily. I’m fine with that process, and that works for me. I can’t get too stuck into it, I don’t think that would be good mentally, for me. So I’m happy to bounce in and out, do the work, do some crying then crack some jokes, that’s fine by me.”

Luckily Charlotte’s life at home is much less chaotic than her character’s too, and in her spare time she likes to relax.

“And I’m a big chiller! I walk the dog, I’ll read a book. I’m really into home design at the minute so I’ll go to furniture stores and do that sort of thing and unwind like that. Basically something that’s got nothing to do with acting.”
