While Coronation Street viewers are eagerly awaiting the special 65th anniversary episodes, Steve McDonald – a veteran character who has been with Corrie for more than three decades – is about to become the center of a new drama.

The upcoming episodes promise to take Steve on an unexpected journey: digging up a family secret that has been buried for more than 20 years, and this shock can change the entire life of him and his relatives in Weatherfield.

The source of the story begins when Steve accidentally discovers an old box in the attic of Jim McDonald – the father who has repeatedly caused trouble for the family.

In the box, Steve finds an unopened letter, dated more than two decades ago.

The letter contains details that shock him: a secret relationship of Jim when he was young, and a confession about a child that the family has never known.

This truth not only shocked Steve, but also raised a series of questions: Does he have a half-brother or half-sister living somewhere out there? If so, how will this truth change the way people perceive the McDonald family?

Steve is known for his humorous and somewhat clumsy character, but in this moment, he is faced with a heavy decision: keep the secret to protect the family’s honor, or expose the truth, accepting the consequences?

The leak of the letter has unintentionally put Liz McDonald – his mother – in a difficult position. Liz, who has had too many emotional wounds from her tumultuous relationship with Jim, is now forced to face her painful past. Fierce arguments will certainly explode in the McDonald family, where everyone has a different point of view, everyone believes they are right.
