Itâs a con within a con, and no one in Weatherfield is safe. As Coronation Street ramps up the drama ahead of Daisy Midgeleyâs shocking exit next week, a sinister twist is brewingâone that could leave every schemer in the dust. The name on everyoneâs lips? Dom.
What started as a cold-hearted revenge plot by Daisy and her estranged mother Christina Boyd to bring down Jenny Connor has spiraled wildly out of control. Their weapon of choice? Domâa smooth-talking catfish planted in Jennyâs life as the perfect fake love interest. The goal was simple: win Jennyâs heart, make her invest in a bogus business deal, and walk away with the cash. But it seems Dom may be playing a longer, darker gameâone that neither Christina nor Daisy saw coming.
The plan was hatched after Daisy discovered a jaw-dropping secret: Jenny was about to receive a ÂŁ60,000 windfall from a long-forgotten investment by Daisyâs father. And she had no intention of telling Daisy. Already locked in a bitter feud, this betrayal pushed Daisy over the edge. With her resentment boiling, she turned to the one person just unprincipled enough to helpâher mother Christina.
Together, they plotted the ultimate catfishing scam. Christina reconnected with Jenny, nudging her toward a charming âstrangerâ named Dom. Daisy, despite her mounting doubts, went along with the scheme. Jenny, oblivious and vulnerable, was an easy markâand sheâs quickly falling for Domâs act.
Dom claims heâs selling a business and is looking for investors, promising Jenny that anyone who gets in now will double their money. Itâs a tempting offer, especially for someone whoâs just come into a fortune. And Jenny, thinking she’s finally found a man who sees her for who she is, is taking the bait.
But here’s the catch: the moneyâs going into Domâs account first. And thatâs where the alarm bells are ringing loudest.
Even as Daisy prepares to leave Weatherfieldâlikely hoping to escape the mess sheâs createdâher unease is growing. Sheâs started to see cracks in the facade. Dom and Christina appear to be more entangled than theyâve let on, sharing a bond that hints at secrets yet untold. Daisyâs beginning to suspect that she may not be the co-mastermind she thought she was, but just another pawn in Domâs elaborate con.
Fans are already sounding the alarm. Social media is ablaze with theories that Dom isnât just scamming Jennyâheâs planning to disappear with the entire sum, leaving all three women in the lurch. One viewer compared him to infamous conman Lewis Archer, while others saw shades of Luke Strong, who once swindled Rosie Webster. The comparisons are chillingâand not far-fetched.
âDom will make off with it on his own,â one fan predicted grimly. âChristina and Daisy wonât see a penny.â Another wondered aloud if Christina herself might be in for a rude awakening, suggesting: âI can see Christina taking the money and leaving both Dom and Daisy out in the cold.â
