Corrie Jack P Shepherd has revealed that the show's bosses haven't decided who is the father of Kylie Platt's baby.
Kylie discovered that she is pregnant at the beginning of the year, but she still isn't sure whether the dad is her husband David or his half-brother Nick (Ben Price).
Shepherd, who plays David, has now told Inside Soap that the Corrie story team are still considering their options over the ongoing plot.
Asked whether David could ever forgive Kylie (Paula Lane) for her one-night stand with Nick, he replied: "I think he'll go mad when he finds out, but if it's David's baby in the end, he'll probably try to get over it. I think he'll want to forgive Nick because he's been close to him over the past few years, and he'll try to stay with Kylie for the baby's sake.
"The writers haven't actually decided whose baby it is yet - they can't make up their minds."
The actor also revealed that he was forced to give up a holiday when the soap's storyliners came up with the plot twist.
He said: "I've not actually been [on holiday] for 12 months now, which is unlike me. I usually have two or three holidays a year.
"I was booked to go to Thailand last Christmas, but work phoned up the month before and said, 'Do you mind cancelling your holiday? Nick's going to sleep with your bird!'"
Coronation Street continues tonight (April 17) at 7.30pm on ITV.

Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has revealed that his character David Platt does not realise the extent of his health problems.
David suffers an epileptic fit and falls unconscious, whilst out in the park with Max and Joseph, next week.
Speaking to the Radio Times, Shepherd said: "They've gone to see the ducks when he suddenly has a fit and falls to the ground.
"He knew he was about to have a fit so he'd got his phone out and scrolled down to Nick. But before hitting call, he'd dropped the phone by Max's feet. As David starts to have the fit, Max picks up the phone, rings Nick and he comes to rescue them all.
"David's not really bothered. The only thing that upsets him is thinking that his baby might have epilepsy because he didn't know if it's hereditary."

The worrying incident comes after David discovers that the doctor has commented on pregnant Kylie's (Paula Lane) high blood pressure.
Shepherd said: "She isn't supposed to be doing any more work and is supposed to take it easy, which means David's got to do all the chores, feed and bath Max, take him to school as well as working in the salon.
"Then with Kylie not working, money is tight so he decides to cover her shifts at the Bistro as well."
David is still unaware that he might not be the father of her unborn child due to her one-night stand with his half-brother Nick (Ben Price).
Shepherd recently revealed that the show's bosses haven't decided who is the father of the baby yet.

Coronation Street actor Ben Price has revealed he would love the current baby drama to bring back David Platt's evil side.
The actor's character Nick Tilsley is currently harbouring the secret that his sister-in-law Kylie could be carrying his child, after the pair shared a tryst behind their partners' backs.
While David, portrayed by Jack P Shepherd, excitedly prepares for the baby's arrival, Nick is struggling to keep the truth from wife Leanne.
Price told itv.com: "It's an awkward situation, but Nick is also amazed that this could be his child. It's quite an emotive moment.
"Nick has never had the perfect family unit and he wants it. He wants a child, he's ready for it - just not like this."
David drives panic into Nick and Kylie by suggesting the baby should be genetically tested, in order to check whether the child has inherited his epilepsy gene.
Nick also finds himself guilt-ridden when David asks his brother and Leanne to be guardians to the child.
Price said: "Nick tries beyond anything else to be cool and calm. He's been in a tram crash, he's saved lives, he's seen a few things, but this blows all of his control out of the window... Every time something like this happens panic shoots through him."
Speaking about what may happen if David uncovers the truth about Nick and Kylie, Price said he would love to see Nick's younger brother's sinister side return.
"I hope we see the return of evil David," said Price. "There's an edge to him now, he's not a child anymore. I think he'll go as far as he needs to."
Shepherd recently said the outcome of the baby storyline is yet to be decided by producers.

Coronation Street star Paula Lane has revealed that she wants a role on Broadchurch.
The actress, who plays Kylie Platt in the ITV soap, explained that she is committed to Corrie but looks forward to exploring new acting gigs in the future.
"Corrie have given me an amazing opportunity and I'm happy to fulfil that. But other amazing dramas are always being developed," Lane told The People.
"I'd love to do something like Broadchurch. Hopefully one day I'll get there."
On her Corrie future, she added: "If the storylines were *challenging me like they are now, I'd like to stay and become a Corrie veteran.
"Until I've made an impact with Kylie, I don't think it would be fair for me to move on.
"I take the limelight with a pinch of salt. I don't see myself as a celebrity. I see myself as a actress who is *hopefully making waves."

Corrie's David Platt looks set to bide his time after he discovers his wife Kylie's shocking secret.
Last week, Corrie bosses revealed that the show has already filmed the long-awaited scenes which see David (Jack P Shepherd) learn of Kylie's one-night stand with his half-brother Nick.
However, Paula Lane - who plays Kylie - has now told Digital Spy that David keeps quiet after making the heartbreaking discovery, even though he knows that Kylie's unborn baby may not be his.
Speaking at the 2013 British Soap Awards, Lane teased: "At the minute, he hasn't confronted Kylie about it yet. I'm just on the receiving end of his reign of terror! It's been fab to film."
With David staying silent, it looks like he may want to take a more devious approach to getting revenge over Nick and Kylie's betrayal.
In her chat with Digital Spy, Lane also promised "emotional" scenes ahead for the Platts and pondered whether David and Kylie can ever recover from such a huge hurdle.

I hope they reunite eventually as I love the David and Kylie pairing, but I'm looking forward to seeing this. On the basis that the soaps tend to copy each other, maybe divorce papers for Christmas for a start. Can also see David trying to get custody of Max.

Coronation Street's writers have been praised by an epilepsy charity for a current storyline.
In a recent episode, David Platt - played by actor Jack P Shepherd - had his first seizure for two years while he was walking with his stepson Max.
The Epilepsy Society has now commended the ITV soap for raising awareness of the condition, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Amanda Cleaver, communications and campaigns manager for the charity, said: "What was really interesting was how some of the other characters reacted to his seizure.
"They questioned his ability to look after the two young children in his care and David himself voiced concerns about whether his unborn child would inherit the condition.
"The issues raised in the story highlight the public lack of knowledge about a condition which affects around 1 in 100 people in the UK."
