Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod has teased a romantic twist for Summer's three dads: Billy, Paul and Todd.

The soap boss has explained romance is in the air for two of Summer's (Harriet Bibby) father figures, though he was tightlipped about which characters will be part of this budding couple.

"Romance is in the air for two of them, I'll leave you to guess which pair it might be," MacLeod told RadioTimes.com and other press.

Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) has previously been in relationships with both Paul (Peter Ash) and Todd (Gareth Pierce).

"Historically there's been strong feelings from both Team Todd and Billy or the other side for Paul and Billy. We've been back and forth for years and have picked a team, but whatever team ends up being the couple, at the end the story will be about the three of them," the producer confirmed.

Of course, Summer will continue being the three men's main focus and concern, particularly after she's been through a lot last year with her unplanned pregnancy and miscarriage.

"My Two Dads did well as a sitcom so we figured My Three Dads has got to be one better, surely!" MacLeod continued.

"I love the dynamic, it feels entirely unique. I can't think of anything like it on another soap or drama, a same-sex trio parenting a troubled 19-year-old girl."

Despite Summer being caught in a dark twist, the soap producer promised "loads of fun" in her bond with her three dads.

"We see a lot of heart from Todd in places, and a lot of deviance in places. We crash a huge story onto one of them that causes former enemies to become best friends in secret. It's a really interesting year for all of them and at the centre of one our biggest stories."
