Coronation Street<\/a> fans are wondering if a love triangle storyline is about to begin \u2013 and it could be terribly awkward if so.<\/p>\n

Recently, it became apparent that Lauren Bolton<\/a> (Cait Fitton<\/a>) had a bit of a crush on Ollie Driscoll<\/a> (Raphael Akuwudike<\/a>).<\/p>\n

They went on a date in the Bistro<\/a>, which was some welcomed happiness for Lauren after a traumatic few years involving Joel Deering (Calum Lill).<\/p>\n

This week though, another character started taking a shine to Ollie, and it was Amy Barlow <\/a>(Elle Mulvaney<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Things between Ollie and Lauren were put on hold as a result of Maggie Driscoll (Pauline McLynn) interfering<\/a>. With Ollie believing Lauren had stood him up, he attempted to talk to her about it in yesterday\u2019s episode, but Lauren didn\u2019t really want to.<\/p>\n

Lauren grew suspicious when Amy wandered in and it became increasingly clear that Ollie might like her. Annoyed and somewhat jealous, Lauren told Amy that she looks particularly cosy with Ollie, and that she should go for it if interested.<\/p>\n

The scenes between Ollie and Amy were brief yesterday, but fans of the ITV<\/a> soap are now beginning to wonder they\u2019re going to start seeing each other.<\/p>\n

Sarah added: \u2018Ollie seems a nice bloke. They just need to get him away from his granny. Think I\u2019d rather he get with Lauren, but if they want to pair him with Amy I wouldn\u2019t be against it\u2019.<\/p>\n

Amy seems interested in Ollie that could be awkward. #corrie<\/a><\/p>\n

If it does happen, it\u2019ll cause drama for two reasons.<\/p>\n

If Lauren knows she still has feelings for Ollie and wants to fight for him, he\u2019s going to find himself torn between her and Amy. A classic soap love triangle story if you will.<\/p>\n

The second reason is far more problematic though, as Ollie and Amy are actually cousins!<\/p>\n

It turns out that Jim McDonald (Charles Lawson) \u2013 who is\u00a0set to be killed off in upcoming scenes<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 is none other than Ben Driscoll\u2019s (Aaron McCusker) dad.<\/a><\/p>\n

As first revealed by\u00a0Radio Times<\/a>, Maggie had an affair with Jim four decades ago and it will come to light that the patriarch, who is dad to Street legend Steve McDonald<\/a> (Simon Gregson<\/a>), is also Ben\u2019s father.<\/p>\n

With Amy and Ollie being Steve and Ben\u2019s children, starting a romance is a big no no!<\/p>\n

If Maggie discovers Ollie and Amy are dating, what will she do to stop it?<\/p>\n
