Coronation Street fans were quick to pick up on two of the characters' "secret relationship" during Wednesday night's instalment of the beloved ITV1 soap opera.
Amid Summer Spellman's controversial surrogacy pregnancy storyline, which involves eerie couple Mike and Esther, viewers spotted something subtle.
After going to an appointment with Summer, their surrogate, Mike and Esther were chatting with the young teen outside of Preston's Petals flower shop when dropping her off back in Weatherfield.

While the trio chatted away, Leanne Battersby walked around the corner and stood on the corner of the street.
Looking at the couple as they chatted with Summer, Leanne looked like she knew the couple.
The subtle detail led to many viewers taking to Twitter to speculate a "secret relationship", with some people linking Mike to Leanne's past as an escort.
Taking to Twitter to discuss the episode under the Corrie hashtag, one fan asked: "That look Leanne gave Mike and Esther."
They added: "Could Mike have been one of her punters during her escort era?"
Another then said: "What's with Leanne's eyes at the creepy pair? Does she know them from her days on the game?"
"Is surrogate Daddy one of Leanne's former clients? What a look she gave him," penned a third.
While a fourth asked: "Mmm does Leanne know them somehow?"
To which someone replied: "Wasn't he drunk and chatting her up in the Bistro a few days ago?"
And they were correct, as Mike was in fact in the Bistro last week "chatting her up" and flirting with her.
Not only this, but he offered to buy her a drink.
He was later confronted by Summer about the incident after Leanne told Billy and Billy told Summer.
But Mike denied flirting with the Bistro manager.
Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and ITVX.
