Fans fear that a family bombshell could cause some problems in Weatherfield for Ollie

Coronation Street fans fear that a family bombshell could cause some problems in Weatherfield as they think they have spotted a ‘love triangle’ emerging for Ollie Driscoll.

Those who follow the ITV soap were first introduced to the character last year as Dee-Dee Bailey’s love interest. They were quickly suspicious of the newcomer, as they didn’t trust some of his initial behaviour on the cobbles.

However, the reason for his shifty demeanor soon became clear, as it was revealed in October that he was the son of Ben Driscoll, the new landlord of the Rovers Return after he bought the iconic boozer for his partner, none other than Eva Price.

It was then just a couple of months later that Ollie was left heartbroken, as Dee-Dee called time on their relationship before deciding on taking a job in Singapore, where she has since headed to start a new life with her daughter, Leila.

Back on the cobbles, in recent months, Ollie has taken a shine to Rovers barmaid Lauren Bolton. After some shy flirting, the pair went on a date in the Bistro and things seemingly went well.

But a blossoming relationship for Ollie and Lauren was recently put on ice as a result of Ollie’s grandmother, Maggie Driscoll, interfering, making it clear Lauren wasn’t the right woman for her grandson. Ollie ended up hurt, however, after believing she had stood him up, but when Ollie tried to talk to her about it, Lauren brushed him off.

During Thursday’s (February 26) episode of Corrie, it was suggested that Lauren could have missed her chance for her happily ever after Ollie started chatting to Amy Barlow. When Lauren tried to find out if Amy was interested, she suggested she was but didn’t want to break ‘girl code’.

When Lauren tried to act like she wasn’t too bothered, Corrie viewers were quick to predict that it could cause a bit of a dilemma. @agf1052 said: “I smell a Lauren/Ollie/Amy love triangle starting to form #Corrie.” @RyanSoapKing25 commented: “A possible love triangle forming between Amy Lauren & Ollie #Corrie.”

But, there is currently a theory doing the rounds that Ollie’s dad, and Amy’s, Steve McDonald, could secretly be related via Steve’s dad, Jim McDonald, whose death will be confirmed in upcoming scenes.

And if Ollie and Amy were to become an item, it could result in some awkward conversations. @Callihistorian said: “Be a bit awkward if they do turn out to be half cousins.” @tamlizann25 commented: “What if Amy and Ollie get together, and then boom they are cousins #Corrie.” @ElaineWharton1 posted: “Amy getting friendly with Ollie! Will Maggie put a stop to it, seeing as it’s looking like they may be cousins
