A new Coronation Street fan theory is gaining traction—and it suggests that the Bailey family could be about to make their boldest move yet by buying the iconic Rovers Return Inn.

After a rollercoaster couple of years filled with personal challenges and dramatic twists, the Baileys may finally be heading for a fresh chapter. Viewers believe that stepping in as the new owners of the pub could offer the family not only stability, but also a chance to become even more central to life on the cobbles. With whispers growing louder and speculation mounting, fans are now wondering: will the Baileys take over the legendary watering hole and make it their own? Could we be seeing a new era of Rovers—complete with a family-run twist?

Jenny loses the pub in Coronation Street

Realising that she had to pay Carla back the money she stole, Jenny realised that she might have to give up the pub.

Daisy told her that there was no other way. However, Jenny then met a guy online called ‘Dom’ and started dating him.

She then decided to invest in his business with all the money that she had, with a promise of doubling her money by the end of the week.

But, with Jenny realising that Christina was catfishing her and had scammed her out of her £60k, Jenny lost hopes of keeping her beloved pub.

With Daisy now having left Weatherfield, Jenny’s dreams have been crushed, with prospective buyers coming into the Rovers this week to have a look around…

Coronation Street fan theory predicts Bailey family will be new owners of Rovers

A new Corrie fan theory has now predicted who will next own the pub – and it’s none other than the Bailey family.

With the family going through a lot lately, could they soon move into the Rovers as they enter a new era?

A fan on Reddit wrote: “Not seen any spoliation in this direction yet – So howsabout discussing who the new owner(s) of The Rovers could be if not someone totally new or Jenny-with-a-twist scenario. What about the Bailey Family as potential Rovers owners?”

They then noted several factors that could lead them to buying the pub, including Ed receiving money from the Builder’s Yard sale, the opportunity to run a family business together, interacting with more Weatherfield residents, and fan appeal.

However, one fan did point out that it wasn’t long ago that Ed was in a load of debt… So, could the family really afford to run the pub? We’ll have to wait and see! Perhaps Aggie could return for this new venture?…
