Coronation Street's Underworld factory has been the setting of many a dramatic scene over the years, not to mention providing jobs for many of our favourite characters.
Underworld has been owned by Carla Barlow on and off in recent years. In 2021, she bought Nick out after being given money from her dad, Johnny.
At the time, Nick's sister Sarah Platt was fuming as she'd had her sights set on the factory herself. And now it seems another family member is set to own the place - if a fans' theory turns out to be true.

Monday's episode saw Sarah in the factory, accompanied by her uncle Stephen. Stephen returned to the cobbles last month after some 15 years away.
And it was a good job he did. At the time, nobody in Twitter was aware Audrey had had a fall at the salon, lying on the cold floor all night with nobody to hear her calls.
Stephen rescued her, calling an ambulance and making sure she was looked after. The deed did not go unrewarded, as Audrey then put Stephen in charge of her finances.
This week's first instalment of Corrie saw Stephen giving Sarah business advice. He was convinced he could get his niece a better deal on materials such as silk for the factory's underwear lines.
But a number of viewers watching at home think they've sussed out what Stephen is up to. Taking to Twitter, Sophie said: "Stephen's gonna end up running the joint".
Jess said: "This is all a rouse, he's gonna get his paws on Underworld isn't he?". Roz said: "Feel like Stephen is gonna two-time Elaine and Yasmeen, while also buying into Underworld perhaps".
