EMOTIONAL REVEAL: James Bailey’s Heartbreaking News Stuns Coronation Street Residents

Dee-Dee Bailey is stunned to see her brother in Weatherfield, just weeks after she decided to give away her baby daughter to him and his partner Danny Tomlinson.

Putting on a brave face, Dee-Dee has been telling everyone that she made the right decision in helping James and Danny to start a family.

Sadly, that all changes tonight when James admits that he’s unexpectedly broken up with Danny.

In a surprise turn of events, it’s revealed that Danny gave into temptation and cheated on James. Danny’s head was turned while he was undergoing physiotherapy following his involvement in a nasty car crash.

“I thought he was working really hard on his rehab. I was really proud of him. But turns out, there was a lot more than physio going on,” James complains.

“I saw some texts on his phone yesterday. I was fuming. This has been going on for weeks, when I’ve been juggling – taking care of him, of Laila, trying to earn a living. It’s been a nightmare.”

Dee-Dee encourages James to patch things up with Danny, but he refuses and insists that he’ll now need the Bailey family’s help to take care of Laila.

This is Dee-Dee’s worst nightmare, as she’d previously made it clear that she’d find it too difficult to be around Laila as she grows up.

Dee-Dee says: “I’m really sorry this is happening, but this isn’t fair. You know how hard it is for me to be around Laila. This is not what we agreed.”

Could a big new rift be developing within the Bailey family – and might Dee-Dee still change her mind over Laila’s future?

Last month, Jason Callender – who now plays James – confirmed plans for his character to get a new love interest.

“James is going to have a romantic encounter,” Jason exclusively told Inside Soap.

“It’s someone that the audience will not see coming. When I found out, I was so excited. I was like, ‘I don’t even know if we can do this!'”
