Coronation Street's Carla Connor doesn't know it yet, but someone on the Cobbles has a secret link to her.
A mystery character who viewers already know, who isn't newcomers Chelsey or Jordan, is secretly looking out for her - for a reason yet to be revealed.
It's part of a new storyline, which will pave the way to a new "background" on the Cobbles.
Amid horror for Carla as Chelsey and Jordan make their mark on the Street, a mystery character will go out of their way to protect her.
It's not yet been confirmed who or why, just that they're keeping an eye on her.
Next week, Carla finds out about the brutal attack on Chelsey and Jordan, after their run-in in the pub.
She immediately questions Peter Barlow over whether he is to blame, but he insists this is not the case.
It seems he's right too, with it teased it's actually another person in Weatherfield who caused the attack.
Soap expert Sharon Marshall confirmed on This Morning on Tuesday: "She will go and confide everything in Peter, but what will happen then is there will be a vicious attack on these two people.
"She asks Peter, 'was it you that's behind it?' and he will say it's not actually him.
"It's somebody else that we have met on the Street who is perhaps keeping an eye on her for some reason.
"It's all leading on to a different story and a new background."
Could it be Abi or newcomer Scott, after they kick the troublemakers out of the pub?
This week on the soap, Carla remains in the dark about what really went on when she went missing last year.
Chelsey and Jordan claim Carla owes them money from her time staying at the squat, which she has no recollection of.
It all happened a year ago when Carla was suffering from psychosis during a mental breakdown, following the factory roof collapse.
She has no idea who either Chelsey or Jordan are, but they make it clear they know all about her.
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm on ITV.
