Coronation Street viewers think there’s going to be a new relationship on the cobbles and it’s not who fans would expect. Over the past few months, Weatherfield residents have had their fair share of trials and tribulations when it comes to love.
In recent scenes, fans of the ITV soap have seen Steve McDonald (played by Simon Gregson) go back on the dating scene after his wife Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) decided to call it a day on their marriage.
Initially, he wanted to get back with her, she decided to leave Weatherfield behind to live in Spain with her new beau Tommy Orpington (Matt Milburn). Although he’s had his dab at online dating, fans think there could be a long-standing character who he could start a romance with.
Taking to Reddit, one Coronation Street fan asked: “Steve should be with Jenny. Are my husband and I the only ones who think so?” It seemed as though there were many people who agreed.
One fan wrote: “Finally, someone else sees this, I've always thought this, I do hope the writers are kind to Steve and partner him with Jenny.” Another viewer added: “It's obvious now you say it…”
However, there were a few people who believed Steve could be an ideal match for Rovers Return barmaid Glenda Shuttleworth (Jodie Prenger).
A social media user said: “I think he'd be a better match with Glenda, tbh... Their sense of humour is much more similar.”
Another person added: “I like him better with Glenda. They have similar personalities.”
“I like him better with Glenda. They have similar personalities,” said another Coronation Street fan.”

Although many are rooting for either Glenda or Jenny to end up with Steve, it seems as though they may have to wait a little longer as he continues his online dating venture.
In recent scenes, Steve suffered a different type of heartache when he clashed with his best friend Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine).
When Steve’s online date arrived in the pub with her friends in tow, her pal Aurora (Pippa Fulton) took a liking to Tim.
As he decided to join them, his wife Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) walked in to see them all giggling over drinks, she was less than impressed.
Furious at Steve for getting her husband involved in the situation, Sally told Tim to keep his distance from his best friend while he navigates single life.
When Steve bumped into his friend, Tim revealed he’s not allowed to hang around with him any more outside of work.
However, Steve seemed hurt by the decision now that he’s lost his wife and best friend.
Coronation Street continues Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV from 8pm.
