The Baileys are bracing for a major implosion next week on Coronation Street! James Bailey (Jason Evans), who’s just embracing fatherhood, is left utterly stunned after Dee-Dee goes behind his back in a massive way regarding baby Laila, and it’s about to spark a full-on, tear-soaked family row. But that’s not the only thing buzzing about James. Amidst the rising drama, fans are also spotting something interesting happening on the side – could there be someone new entering his life? The actor has finally opened up, and what he’s revealed will leave you reeling!

🚨 James Bailey On Edge in Coronation Street: A Battle for Fatherhood!

Jason Evans, who plays James, shared that joining Corrie felt a bit like starting a new relationship. He joked that once he got past the awkward stage, he was completely “in love” with the job. And it’s showing, because he’s right in the thick of a major, show-stopping storyline. James has been trying desperately to adopt Laila, but it hasn’t been easy.

James is facing his worst nightmare: Dee-Dee recently discovered she can’t have kids of her own, and this has led to her becoming obsessively bonded with baby Laila. This intense attachment has made James incredibly nervous, putting him in a desperate “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. Jason explained that James is definitely worried. Deep down, he knows that if Dee-Dee changes her mind and decides she wants to keep Laila for herself, there’s little he can do legally. So he’s constantly on edge, just waiting for something to go horribly wrong, a betrayal that could snatch his happiness away.

💥 Dee-Dee’s Secret Christening Pushes James Over the Edge: A Betrayal That Shatters Trust!

And next week, that “something” spectacularly happens, a shock that will leave James no turning back. Dee-Dee goes behind James’s back and secretly organises a christening for Laila, even though he’d already explicitly said no to it. When he finds out about this blatant betrayal, his trust shatters into a million pieces. Jason stated that for James, “this is the final straw.” If Dee-Dee can do something so monumental without telling him, what else might she do? Can he ever truly trust anyone in his family again?

In desperation and deep hurt, James takes drastic action. He moves full steam ahead with the adoption and starts the legal process to ensure he is Laila’s only guardian and father. “He’s going to go hell for leather,” Jason emphasized. James isn’t playing nice anymore; he’s making sure it’s all sorted in black and white, leaving no room for doubt. But this decision causes a massive rift within the family. Ed tries to keep the peace, but he knows how much this means to Dee-Dee. Meanwhile, James is left feeling utterly alone, isolated within his own family.

💖 And About Todd Grimshaw… Jason Evans Just “Teased” the Cobbles’ Hottest New Couple!

While all this family drama is unfolding, eagle-eyed fans have been noticing a strange “spark” between James and Todd Grimshaw. There seems to be a undeniable bit of chemistry brewing between them, a connection no one saw coming. And Jason Evans? He’s not denying it!

When asked about the potential for James and Todd as a couple, Jason responded with barely contained enthusiasm: “Without a doubt, they’d make a great couple!” He even excitedly exclaimed: “They’re two gorgeous men!” Jason went on to say they’d be brilliant dads together, describing them both as sensitive and loving – the kind of blokes who’d really look after each other. This is a confirmation, or at least an incredibly clear “tease” from the actor himself, leaving fans on the edge of their seats about James’s romantic future!

As for Theo, Jason stated that James doesn’t see him or anyone as a threat. So if something does start up with Todd, James isn’t going in with any doubts or reservations. This is the ultimate “shock hot” element, promising a new, compelling LGBTQ+ romance that has the potential to become the most beloved couple on the Cobbles!
