Coronation Street star Jack P Shepherd has predicted that the Platt family's ongoing baby saga could run until Christmas.
The actor's character David Platt is currently plotting revenge against his half-brother Nick, having learned that his wife Kylie could be carrying the businessman's baby.
Viewers saw the storyline begin on Christmas Day last year, when Nick (Ben Price) and Kylie (Paula Lane) had their one-night stand.
Shepherd told PA: "We were pleased that they weren't going to do the usual, 'David finds out, goes mental for a couple of episodes, Kylie and David split up'. We didn't want that. The writers wanted it to carry on and drag it out and finish it at Christmas or something like that.
"I'm assuming it goes until Christmas - I don't get told anything. I just read the scripts the night before I film them and then that's when I find out the story.
"I don't know what happens in this whole storyline, I just know that tomorrow I've got two scenes, so I'll learn them. If you just react to what the lines are then that's alright."
On the big question of whether Kylie's baby is David's or Nick's, the 25-year-old added: "I hope it's Nick's. Two reasons - one, I think it would be really good to see David absolutely crushed and devastated and then go on a bigger warpath of killing Nick, maybe suffocating him in his sleep!
"Two, I don't want to work with a baby for the rest of my life or the next few years. It's just hard work, they cry, they scream, stuff like that. When it's your own it's fine, you can put up with it."
One peak in the storyline will play out on screen next month as David and Nick are involved in a shock road accident.
