Tonight’s Coronation Street left Daniel Osbourne reeling after discovering that social services had been contacted about him. But while Daniel stormed into the Rovers demanding answers, many viewers at home were left wondering why he failed to suspect one person in particular.
Daniel barged into the pub and accused several residents, including Alya and Kirk, of reporting him. However, everyone denied being involved.
For fans watching at home, there was another obvious suspect in mind.

Daniel reported to social services in Coronation Street
Viewers have watched Daniel struggle this week after discovering that Jodie was behind the Truthteller account.
Unable to cope with the revelation, a drunk Daniel suffered a breakdown and fell asleep in his flat while Bertie was in his care.
As Daniel slept on the sofa, Bertie attempted to make himself some food in the microwave. Things quickly went wrong when the appliance exploded, causing a fire and filling the flat with smoke. Bertie managed to make his way over to the Barlows while Daniel remained inside.
Adam later used a spare key to let himself into the flat and clear the smoke. However, he decided to keep Bertie at Ken’s house as a way of teaching Daniel a lesson.
When Daniel eventually woke up to a phone call from Bertie’s school asking where his son was, panic set in as he realised Bertie was missing.
Angry that his family had kept Bertie away from him, Daniel lashed out and punched Ken.
In tonight’s episode, Tracy and Adam agreed that Daniel’s behaviour could not continue and that something needed to be done.
Later, Daniel burst into the Rovers convinced somebody had reported him to social services.
Adam and Alya both denied making the call, while Kirk was also forced to insist he had nothing to do with it.
Yet one person was notably absent from the pub at the time.
