Coronation Street teases potential Robert and Michelle romance amid impending break-up from Steve
The ITV soap tweeted about their blossoming 'friendship' after this evening's episode
CORONATION Street teased a future romance blooming between Robert Preston and Michelle Connor after the airing of tonight's episode.
Michelle (Kym Marsh) is set to break up with hubby Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) after she finds out that he is fathering not just her baby, but Leanne Battersby's too.
In the first episode of two tonight, Robert (Tristan Gemmill) and Michelle had a heart-to-heart as she revealed her worries about Steve being diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, meaning that her baby could also have it.
Tracy's ex-husband and former lover comforted her and called her "amazing" while giving her some serious lingering gazes.
After she and Steve found out that he, thankfully, didn't have the condition she went to thank Robert for his support earlier in the day.
Leaning against the bar, she stared up at the tall, dark and handsome man and thanked him before pressing her lips against his cheek and heading back behind the bar. Robert stared after her with a thoughtful look on his face.
But that wasn't all.
The ITV soap's Twitter page shared a snap of the pair kissing and hinted: "Ah, do you think Robert and Michelle could ever be friends?"
