British netizens are going crazy over a fan theory spreading on X (Twitter): Ryan Connor – the guy who was betrayed and struggled to find himself – is being “paired” with Glenda Shuttleworth, the fiery barmaid of Rovers Return Inn.

The story started with a seemingly joking comment: “If Ryan and Glenda are dating, Corrie will have a new legendary couple!”

But no one expected that after just a few hours, thousands of fans would re-share it with countless memes “shipping” this couple.

Glenda is a generous, funny woman, but deep inside she is lonely to the point of sadness.

She once admitted: “I make other people laugh all day, but no one makes me laugh back.” Ryan, on the other hand, used to be a bad boy, famous for his love triangles, but since living with Carla and being betrayed by Daisy, he has changed, becoming quieter and kinder. Two lonely souls, two opposite personalities, will they become a puzzle piece?

Some fans even created a scenario: Glenda pours Ryan a beer in the pub, their eyes meet, then they burst out laughing – “Hey, why are you looking at me like that?” – and from that moment, the story begins. An unexpected love, a new wave in Corrie that the audience is waiting for. Because clearly, amidst a series of tragedies, everyone needs a healing story.
