The father of Amy Barlow’s unborn baby on Coronation Street has been revealed

Uh oh.

Coronation Street's Amy Barlow is set to drop a bombshell on her parents, Steve and Tracy, in the new year as she announces that she is expecting a baby. Her parents are sent into a state of panic as they try to decide on what to do. They end up trying to convince their 14-year-old daughter that she's far too young to be be a mother and tell her to get an abortion. However, while she initially agrees to the procedure, she has a change of heart later on and decides that she wants to keep her baby. And now the name of the father of her unborn child has reportedly been revealed. The Sun report that teenage gang leader Tyler Jefferies - aka: the enemy of Peter Barlow's son, Simon - is going to be revealed as the father of Amy's child. However, soon after giving birth, Amy decides to put her child up for adoption - but her parents decide "they should keep the baby in the family and bring her up as their own". A source told the publication:

“It’s not long after giving birth that Amy decides she doesn’t want to be responsible for the baby. It’s tougher than she ever thought it could be. “Although it’s hard she decides to put the tot up for adoption. “When she talks to Tracy and Steve about it, they decide they should keep the baby in the family and bring her up as their own.”

While things initially seem to be going smoothly for the McDonalds, Tyler soon returns to Weatherfield - determined to be a hands on dad. The source added:

“Tracy and Steve are left shattered when Tyler’s family get involved and their lawyer tells them they should be prepared for a very messy battle. “It looks as though the McDonalds have a really rough road ahead of them but they’ll do everything they can to keep the baby in their family. “This storyline touches on massive legal and ethical issues and will show viewers a different side to teenage pregnancies.”
