Yes, and I hope they go into this. Particularly after all the controversy about it in the news recently.
Still think it's a rubbish storyline though! Amazing to think what this young girl has gone through after being adopted. Would she still be in this family if it were real life?

I've always liked Faye and our 11 yr old daughter(who's slowly becoming another soap fan) really likes Faye(and Belle in Emmerdale). BUT-if they are writing a storyline like this to Faye I don't want her to see it. I have to stop watching Corrie as she's watching with me. I do hope-IF they go that way-that at least they would write it very difficult..yes, rape(terrible to wish something like that),and abortion route..as lots of young girls are watching and otherwise thinking that it's easy to have a baby.
As if Anna and Owen hasn't had enough problems??!
And there's nothing new in this storyline: Sarah Platt..and recently nearly everyone on the street has had unwanted pregnancies!

I do hope they don't go on the abortion route. So many times over and over again that is thought of. As soon as anyone is pregnant! Surely it shouldn't be taken so lightly?
I think they will abort. Gail let Sarah make her own mind up in the end but doubt if Anna, Owen and Tim will let faye have that option. Faye probably wont want to have the baby as well as her upbringing not so good. Maybe they give the baby to carla.

Do you really think that having abortion in any circumstances - but especially at the age of 12-13- would be easy??? At that age, definitely the right decision.
Usually abortion is the first thought anyway when someone is having unwanted pregnancy. I just hope they actually go with it in Faye's case.
Maybe they give the baby to carla.
I can't see Carla wanting any other baby apart from her own.

No, I would never think it's easy. It shouldn't be. I meant the soaps take abortion lightly. It even came up with Carla! Then when she wanted the baby she lost it. They always seem to go down that route. They just don't give people time to get used to the idea of being pregnant before they make for the clinic. I don't think abortion should be the first thought anyway, and hope they don't do this. Faye could live to regret it.
I think this is a very sensitive topic and people will have strong views on it particularly when it impacts on a 12 year old. Abortion is not an easy option but agree it seems to pop up a lot in soaps.

Far too often.

To be fair though, most of them can't go through with the abortion in the end. Soaps always wring the maximum amount of drama from every situation, so for every unplanned pregnancy an abortion has to be considered to up the ante. It's not usually shown as an easy decision, although the long-term consequences of having an abortion aren't very often shown (although this is true of most situations in soaps).
I had an unplanned pregnancy as a teenager (a lot older than Faye though!) and didn't contemplate an abortion, but it's the advice I got from all sides. So I think it's realistic that it is people's first thought in the majority of these cases.

Coronation Street's Craig Tinker will be Faye Windass's first confidant when the troubled schoolgirl discovers that she is pregnant.
The ITV soap has already filmed the emotional scenes which see Faye (Ellie Leach) discover that she is expecting a baby at the age of just 12.
Faye's storyline begins on screen within the next few weeks when she faces cruel taunts at school regarding her weight.
When Faye confides in Beth's son Craig (Colson Smith) about how she feels insecure over her appearance following the bullying, he suggests that she could be pregnant.
With Faye forced to admit that it is a possibility, she takes a pregnancy test and is stunned when the result comes out positive.

Faye and Craig
Viewers will discover that Faye is already several months pregnant, but the father is not a character currently in the show. While fans weren't aware of it at the time, Faye made a terrible mistake by sleeping with a boy while out at a party with friends last year.
How long it takes before Faye confides in her family remains to be seen, but her shock news will naturally mark the beginning of a huge new storyline for the Windasses.
so craig isn't the father

No - thank goodness- hes a lot
brighter than he can seem.
I suppose its nice Faye has got a friend
tho.not keen on.actress.
It would have limited Craigs character
if he had been father and I think he
should develop quite interestingly
over next few years!

Anna will probably blame him as usual as she did when she was getting nasty messages from people and being bullied. I will like Graig even more after this storyline. He is a lovely character.
Faye's pregnancy plot in Coronation Street will be tastefully handled, according to producer Stuart Blackburn.
Blackburn said that he worked closely with the Faye's real life parents, the police and social services to ensure the story was treated with dignity.

Anna is concerned as she watches the exchange

In an interview with The Sun Magazine, he said: "If Ellie's parents thought they didn't want her to do this, we wouldn't have done it.
"But they knew we'd treat it with taste and dignity, and we won't show anything indecent. We've been working with the police and social services.
"Ellie knows how big a story this is and she's grateful and excited. We're careful with the hours we use her and there's a tutor and chaperone with her at all times."
The soap has tackled underage pregnancy before, when Sarah-Louise Platt gave birth to daughter Bethany in 2000.

Faye snaps at Craig

"What's different this time is that with Sarah Lou, after the initial shock, in some respects life went back to normal for her," says Stuart.
"With Faye, I think that won't happen. Young girls can come through it and become good parents, but it's devastating.
"There's the effect on the rest of your family, and at school, kids can be incredibly cruel."
Blackburn revealed that the schoolgirl's dad will fall in love with the baby and will be more involved in the child's life than he was with Faye.
He also said that the story wouldn't be rushed: "But we've put them all through the mill, so when I look ahead to perhaps a year from now, I'd like to be thinking that the bulk of that family has got a bit of hope and optimism."
Glad Tim plays a main role in supporting the new baby
Shame Ellie's parents didn't veto this. It sounds a terrible plot to me. I've never been a fan of teen pregnancies and we've only just had Cindy's in EastEnders.
Looking forward to Sally's reaction but that's it.
Craig couldn't have been the father or he'd have been facing charges, as he's 16 I think. He doesn't seem that much older than Faye, but unfortunately it's what happens when there aren't many kids in the show - they're just thrown together at will. I'd sooner see Craig as a father than Faye as a mother :(
I presume Faye will resent the fact that Tim is involved with the baby when he wasn't with her.

I think your points are very valid.Tho pregnancies still
occurring in 12-13 yr olds - they are reducing so it
would have been good to have a more positive storyline
for Faye.
The character does seem even younger than her age
so.may really struggle with the part now. And may
resent Tim as you suggest.Hes likeable now but
started off with hints of being a possible paedo-
but changed almost overnight when other possibilities
occured to soap management.
The producer has said they have taken every care
with story and I can believe that regarding hours
worked/education etc.
But care also means taking into account age
personality, ability to withstand strain, health
and financial matters.
He says parents are happy about the storyline
but wonder how much independant( outside
their family and the soap staff) advice they have had
about the effects this could have on a very young
person.?
I dont know what I think, I do agree that there are less young pregnancies but they do still exist.
Im looking forward to the family reactions...especially Sally! It is good that Faye has a family support unit around her now. I like Craig is getting more screen time. I like him as a character.
I hated the idea of this storyline at first and still wish it wasn't being done, mainly as it gives more screentime to the unlikable Windasses/Armstrongs.
However, nothing's going to stop it happening now so I'm trying to feel more positive about it - especially as it seems Tim (and probably Sally) will be heavily involved. Tim wasn't there for Faye growing up so it'd be nice to see him making amends for that now by being supportive of her and the baby.
I know there was fan speculation that he might be a paedophile when he first came to the cobbles but I don't think that was ever the intention of the writers. He's a decent man at heart in my opinion.

Im.not sure she does have a family support
group. Anna is quite dreadful and Faye very
nervous abt her finding out. She will make
situation worse.
Tim.is very likeable but an unknown quantity
when it comes to responsobility.
Owen & Katy are leaving.Gary can be ok
but erratic. So theres Craig - a great character!
Sally might be a surprise.
I just hope that any real-life girl in Fayes
situation has a better "family" and the
actress playing Faye gets better support
than seems likely.

I think there were some scenes early on.between
Tim & Faye that could be misconstrued-if you
wished.
I think Sally will probably be a surprise and
will back ( and push Tim).He is very likeable
and means well- but never really had responsibilty
for others. Doesnt mean he cant do it tho!!
Faye has had a very poor start in life and
one poster mentioned possibility of Faye
becoming resentful of Tims time with baby.
I hope not but the story is going to
take abt year to reach some sort of positive
outcome( per producer) so will no doubt
have dramas that wouldnt occur in real-
life( at least not so many).
A.lot depends on how some of actors play
their parts. Thats always important but
more so in a story like this.

That's what I've heard. This story's been a long time in the planning as Faye came back from a party crying months ago. She wouldn't tell anyone what was the matter. I wondered at the time if that was when she got pregnant.
Why couldn't she have had an abortion? Or maybe give the baby for adoption? 12 is just too young...I would have found that type of storyline more interesting..
And where did she get pregnant at the first place?? I know how babies are made ( :D ! ) - it's just that we haven't seen Faye with boys or anything..only with Graig, and they are only friends.
Surely 12 year old would know they are pregnant?? Must feel baby kicking as well. I have a 12 yr old daughter myself, and no matter how innocent she may still seem, they do know more than we parents realize. They've made Faye look bit simple..

She wouldn't necessarily know she is pregnant. Not all pregnancies are the same. Some fully grown adult and mature women don't even know they are pregnant until the baby actually arrives let alone a 12 year old! Remember Sonia in Eastenders?
Not all 12 year olds or even older kids know about how to get/avoid getting pregnant, I think Faye is quite innocent in that department. Also her periods might have been irregular still, so not an indication that something was not quite right.
And with all that has gone on the last year, the Phelan thing, Owen's bankruptcy and how it affected Anna and the whole family, I can well imagine that Faye did not have the courage to speak to Anna. Will be interesting to see what they decide to do about the baby ..

well we dont know yet-in the proganme yet how they
deal with it-but the spoilers give it away that she will
keep the baby. I think abortion would cause too
much religious etc controversy.Also storyline wouldn't
last so long-unless it caused problems with Fayes
mental health.
Girls and women -even those who have had children
previously dont always know they are pregnant
Ive just found the whole writing/portrayal of Faye
questionable from the beginning -there seems to
be a bit of agenda abt various aspects. We don't
live in Pollyana-land and realism is needed but I
think its a bit much on one young character -
particularly with the personality/ background
as depicted.
With Sarah they fudged and rushed the issue-
having a pert 16 yr???old playing 13 yr old.
all loose ends tidied- babys father dies /his
parents give present-move away -want no more
contact.etc.
So we seem to be going from one extreme to
other.

The limit is 24 weeks (obviously preferable
long before that) there can be extensions
in VERY exceptional circumstances - serious
risk to Mothers mental or physical health
or baby serious disability) .Very emotive
subject!
Nothing is official yet in story.Faye has taken
test but not medically confirmed! And no scans
etc to check on babys progress.
The story has been planned for some time
so if abortion was intended as option
would probably have made dates fit better
unless they went for "exceptional" reasons-
which would just too much with a young

Yes, that was the same incident I think. Faye was upset but wouldn't tell anyone what was wrong.
It was done that way so the viewers wouldn't notice any more than her family did. I wouldn't have noticed myself except that the pregnancy storyline had already been announced so I connected the dots.
Not all pregnancies are the same.
During the latter stages of my pregnancy I could feel every detail of my daughter stirring from the inside. I could feel her position and could identify her little hands and feet moving around. I could even feel her have hiccups from swallowing fluid. I thought every woman experience this level of detail, so imagine my surprise when my daughter (who's very recently given birth herself) felt a lot less than I did. She couldn't make out any detail, just generalised moving around.
Given these differences it's not surprising that some women sense even less - feelings that could be put down to gas etc if she doesn't know she's pregnant.
I was thinking that the boy involved might have told Faye he used a condom and that she trusted him without checking for herself. She'd been drinking remember and it might have been dark. So it may not have occurred to her she's pregnant as she felt totally safe.
However, I expect the real explanation will be that she's in deep, deep denial about the whole thing.
Having done workshops with young people about sexual health there are a number of myths that go around it is surprising. One was that its highly unlikely you get pregnant the first time.

I'm surprised those types of myths are still so prevalent with such easy access to information now.

Coronation Street actress Debbie Rush has spoken about the challenges dealing with Faye Windass's upcoming pregnancy plot.
Tomorrow (February 13), the schoolgirl will discover that she has gained weight because she is pregnant, after Craig Tinker (Colson Smith) encourages her to take a pregnancy test.

Rush, who plays Faye's mother Anna, has praised Ellie Leach for her handling of the storyline.
"Ellie is a little star - she has really risen to the challenge of this storyline and I couldn't be prouder of her," she told the Manchester Evening News.
"She always has a big smile on her face and is a pleasure to work with. She is nothing like Faye, not at all sullen and moody, we are very close and both looking forward to all the great scenes to come when Anna finds out.

"It will be a huge challenge as we have known about this story for so long now but obviously nothing has been mentioned on screen so we are ready to start playing it all out now. It will be interesting to see how Faye and Anna cope with it all."
Rush also spoke about how Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies) might react, adding: "The last thing Anna will want is hot headed Owen going off like a rocket. I don't think he will blame Anna but I pity the baby's father if Owen finds out who he is!"
Coronation Street producer Stuart Blackburn has already said that the story will be handled tastefully by working closely with the Leach's real life parents, the police and social services, to ensure the story is treated with dignity.

Bad slip of the tongue, Blackburn. The Leach's real life parents :eek: Should have said The Leachs meaning Ellie's family and left it at that, or Ellie's real life parents.
Another thing I thought of as Faye is 12 is that maybe she has never had a period before, so would never have thought to take a test. You can be pregnant without ever having a period if the first egg released was fertilised. That said, I'd have thought she'd have felt some movement by now and shown some signs of knowing, even if she went into denial and told no one.
Could be a typo from DS or whoever released this interview, Mr Blackburn might not have been quoted correctly ...

Are you referring to Sophie MM? I couldn't resist googling it to see what had disgusted you so... :D
Yes-not so much disgusted as appalled.
As said before pregnancies in 12-13yr olds
much reduced so story somewhat out of
time. However a reduction means there
are still some- so possiblity of a reasonable
story . In real life - after initial shock-
most families would rally round/ decisions
made and if the girl keeps baby he/she
would be loved as part of that family.
However factor in Anna and that changes
things and now Sophie is involved!
The actress playing Anna has given an interview
where its obvious she thinks her character is
no problem (Its Owen "who will go off like
a rocket"- pot/ kettle). I also found her attitude
to Ellie Leach very patronising. I accept the
actress is protecting her own job- without
Faye -not much going for her - after Owen etc
keave.
Regarding Sophie -the kindest thing I can say
is I cant think of any storyline that she has
improved.I suppose her involvement is
that the actress is Fayes cousin and her presence
may give Ellie confidence.If so - should Ellie
actually be playing in the storyline??
Some posters have expressed a wish that
two gay women should have a long term
relationship and family together. If that
was to be pursued -I think they would
have to start with two new characters
to give the storyline a chance. There were
several such couples in "One born every
minute"- so must happened quite often.
What I would like is a storyline every now
and then - where a female( or male) young
character does something positive -goes
to college/ trains for a career or has apprenticeship.
If they start out bright they then became a bit
dense.
If we must delve into the darker side of
teenage life.A new report has been published
in last couple of days to say that 4 out of 10
teenage girls say they have been physically/
sexually abused by boyfriends. There were
some short tv "ads" a couple of years ago-
about what is acceptable behaviour- but
nothing since.Its obviously a big problem
and more relevant to current times!

part to "save" the story.!

That's a very good idea for a storyline. I don't think many people are aware of this worsening problem of young women and their abusive "boyfriends". Many girls nowadays feel they have to be submissive to men (in all ways) to keep them. They need to be shown that women can be strong individuals who don't need to be defined by their relationships with men.

Anna arrives at Weatherfield High School
Ellie Leach and Debbie Rush, who play Faye and Anna, were spotted filming the tense scenes on location in Manchester today (March 25).
Faye is shocked when Anna arrives at the school with the baby, but the surprises continue when Anna storms off and leaves the youngster with her as her shocked classmates watch on.
The exact reasons for the dispute are unclear, but it seems that Miley's arrival will certainly cause lots of fresh tension for the Windass clan.

Anna storms off without Miley
Faye will give birth in scenes due to air on Good Friday. Although she has so far kept her pregnancy under wraps, a desperate Faye will turn to Anna for support after she goes into labour.
Rush recently explained: "The whole thing is a complete shock - a complete, massive shock! It's awful because Faye is just a little tiny girl herself. Instantly Anna will feel like she wants to throttle Faye as any mother would, but I think that because there's another human being here now, the relationship will change.
"Even though Faye is a little girl, she's now a little mum as well. So I think the way Anna will react is that she'll be very supportive, but she'll be at the end of her tether and we'll see a lot of difficulty for her."

Much as I dislike Owen it's not all his fault. They all played a part in the family's misfortunes and Anna's certainly in the wrong about not listening to Faye. I think she was just lashing out at him as people who fall out of love with each other tend to do.
Faye to make a big decision” about Miley's future, reveals Debbie Rush
"Anna and Tim have really been supporting Faye and they do come to realise that not every mum loves their child"
Corrie viewers have already seen teen mum Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) struggle in the wake of giving birth to daughter Miley. But now, it seems, the situation is set to reach crisis point.
“Faye makes a big decision,” actress Debbie Rush – who plays Faye’s adoptive mum Anna – told RadioTimes.com on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards. “Both Anna and Tim have really been supporting Faye and they do come to realise that not every mum loves their child. Between them, they’re going to do what’s best for the baby.”
Viewers have already seen Anna trying to get Faye to take responsibility for her newborn. But Anna will soon discover that she's fighting a losing battle.
"Faye has made it plainly obvious that she isn't very happy about the baby. The audience will know that. What we'll see now is that however much she tries to be kind, there’s no nurturing involved whatsoever. She’s just not got a nurturing bone in her because she’s only a child."
Yet despite the fact that Faye is proving to be uninterested in parenthood, Rush believes that Anna's efforts should be recognised. "Anna's tough love approach is quite good because need to show our young society that it’s not a bed of roses and they’ve got to take some responsibility. I’m really pleased with the way it went."
As for the future for Anna, actress Rush teased that her character might become less beleaguered in the months ahead, particularly when it comes to comic scenes with sparring partner Sally Webster.
"There's more of that coming up. We’ve had three years of downtrodden Anna and I’m really grateful for the storylines. But this might feel like a whole new role again. It’ll keep things spiced up!"

To do it to any child would be horrendous-
to do it a girl with previous history of neglect
and abuse and lack of stability is doubly so.
Annas portrayal is insulting to those fosterers
who give stability to children from troubled
backgrounds and also to fostering staff on
councils etc who I am sure would have
monitored the progression from fostering
to adoption more thoroughly.

I have a 12 year old daughter myself and the thought that I would in any circumstances go to her school and embarrass her in front of her friends!! - is just so awful! Remember too what she said, that 'Faye you should have thought about that before dropping down your knickers at the ice rink!' Just terrible...Anna is just mad! She didn't think of Faye at all-she's impulsive, crazy bitch, that's all. If she can't cope, she can ask for help from social services and give the baby for fostering or let Sally&Tim take over. Tim is far better dad than the mother Anna has never been.

I think the most unpopular character in corrie is Anna right now. I don't know how they can change that. Miley is better off with the Jacksons if they will have her. Jackson may not want the long term responsibility either.
Coronation Street: Faye is "relieved" as Miley leaves
Expect plenty of emotion in next week’s Coronation Street as Faye Windass prepares to say goodbye to her daughter.
The teenager has been struggling to bond with her daughter ever since she was born and that feeling intensifies as her family arrange Miley’s christening.
During the service it’s obvious that Faye has no interest whatsoever as she plays on her phone, while Tim is overcome with emotion as he gives a reading.
With the pressure becoming unbearable for Faye she runs out so Tim calls off the christening for the sake of Faye and Miley’s well being.
Whilst he’s breaking the news to the congregation, Jackson’s parents approach Tim, suggesting it may be better if Miley were to live with them.
Tim informs Anna of Josie and Grieg’s offer and persuades her to go and speak with them, when they assure her they’d take good care of Miley.
As Faye contemplates the prospect of Miley moving to the Hodges’, Izzy pays her a visit to point out she’ll regret it.
Anna, Tim, Faye, Craig, Gary and Alya attempt an emotional goodbye to Miley. But when Josie arrives will Faye be able to let Miley go?
Debbie Rush, who plays Anna, says there’s an obvious sense of relief that comes from Faye.
She said: "Izzy tries to make Faye change her mind and tells her she might regret handing Miley over.
“But Faye is quite strong. Tim and Anna gave her the choice and said it was her decision and Faye knows she’s made the right one. “I think she might have a sense of the pressure lifting from her shoulders.”

Nice that the young father has bonded with his baby
How long now until she decides she wants the kid back, or at least more involvement?
This story line and faye bores me means more of Anna
I agree. And she was terribly rude again to this Fayes boyfriend. He's expelled maybe, but the way she spoke to him was so insulting. Faye hasn't exactly been an angel herself and neither have Izzy (where is she?) or Gary. So should just shut up.

It does say she is 15 on the internet. I have given up in the holes in all their stories
Coronation Street airs a brand new setback for Pat Phelan next week as Faye Windass finally sees his true colours.
Phelan (Connor McIntyre) has managed to trick Faye into turning against her own mother Anna, but his luck runs out when the teenager realises who the villain of the piece really is.
Corrie's brand new story twist kicks off when Anna (Debbie Rush) collapses in prison and is taken to hospital.
Having lost hope that she'll ever prove her innocence, Anna decides this is her opportunity to flee. Taking a massive risk, she hastily puts on an overcoat and heads straight for an open door.

Against the odds, Anna does manage to make her escape and word soon reaches the Street that she's gone on the run.
When Phelan hears the bombshell news, he knows how bad it looks for Anna and is unable to contain the look of glee on his face.
Eagle-eyed Faye notices Phelan's slip-up and when she confronts him, she finally sees him for who he really is.
Faye then seeks support from her boyfriend Seb Franklin as she reveals that Anna was right all along, but is bitterly disappointed when he backs Phelan over her.
After dumping Seb for his bad decision, can Faye find any way to make up for her own lack of loyalty to Anna?

Coronation Street star Mikey North has confirmed that Faye Windass isn't leaving the show, despite hints of a shock exit on Friday night.
The show's latest episode saw Faye (Ellie Leach) make plans to leave the cobbles with her mum Anna, who invited the teen to join her as she started a new life in Durham.
Following her release from jail and killing Pat Phelan, a shaken Anna decided that she wouldn't be staying in Weatherfield as the area held too many bad memories for her.
Much to the disappointment of Faye's dad Tim Metcalfe and her boyfriend Seb Franklin, the schoolgirl decided to go and stay with Anna.
Mikey, who plays Gary Windass, has now cleared up any confusion by revealing that Faye won't be gone for good.
Speaking at a Corrie press day, Mikey told us: "Ellie's back. Faye just goes to visit her mum and stays with her."

Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) has been feeling rotten since conniving Ray Crosby (Mark Frost) charmed and manipulated her for his own gains in Coronation Street and she slept with him in a hotel room after he lured her into a trap. Since discovering the truth about Ray, Faye ended up being threatened but he once again manages to get under skin. However when she tries to evade his sleazy moves, things turn extremely serious and she is under attack, with Ray clearly intending to rape her in terrifying scenes. Lights are out after one of Ray?s cranes has lost control and smashed into a substation and with Ray seething that his plan to obliterate the street has been halted, he has a lot of rage

Where? Roy does not need more staff, you can only work on Coronation Street unless you are a nurse and it was not waitressing she did ... she is or was a trainee manager ;)

Coronation Street's Faye Windass has made a huge confession over Adam Barlow's attack.
The ITV soap's New Year's Eve episode saw Faye come clean with her brother Gary and his wife Maria Connor, admitting that she was responsible for Adam's brush with death.
Faye knocked Adam out at the Bistro in a case of mistaken identity, believing that he was evil Ray Crosby. She has been hiding her guilt ever since, but revealed the truth when Maria accused Gary of being the culprit.
Digital Spy and other media recently caught up with Ellie Leach, who plays Faye, for her reaction to the bombshell storyline twist.
When did you find out about this twist and how did you react?
"I had a meeting with Corrie's producer Iain MacLeod in August. I don't feel like I've really had a big storyline since Faye's pregnancy a few years ago, so it was great to have a storyline like this ? with twists and turns ? and to be involved so much. I was so excited to get my teeth into it."
Can you explain what led to Faye attacking Adam by mistake?
"It was the anger from what Ray had tried to do in the Bistro. She told him 'no' and he wouldn't listen to her. She'd heard from people like Abi and Craig ? who were all warning her to stay away from him ? and she didn't listen.
"So I think it's the anger of that as well. She's mad at herself because she should have listened when people warned her about him."
Now that Corrie fans know about Faye's guilt, how long can it stay secret in Weatherfield?
"As long as she can keep a lid on it, really. I think Faye is definitely at breaking point. She has got such a huge weight on her shoulders and she doesn't know what to do. She's struggling because she wants to tell people, but if she does tell people, she thinks they won't believe her."
Faye has chosen to confide in Gary. Do you think that says a lot about the strong relationship between them?
"Yeah, definitely. I think throughout all of the years that Faye has been on the street, Gary is the only person who has actually been there for her throughout. Obviously her dad Tim came into the show a few years after she joined. So the only person she's had throughout is Gary.
"Obviously Gary is so angry with Ray. At first he was angry with Faye, because he thought: 'How could she be so stupid to believe a man like Ray?' But then he feels sorry for her, especially that she felt she couldn't speak out. I think she does really trust Gary with her life."
How far would Gary go to protect Faye?
"I think Gary would do anything for her, I genuinely do. Before the Windass family adopted Faye, he didn't have that relationship with anyone. Now that he's got it and it's been there for a few years, she is part of his family and part of his life, even though she is adopted. She is his sister so I think he'd literally go to the ends of the earth for her."
Does Faye feel genuinely guilty?
"I think Faye feels genuinely guilty about the mistaken identity aspect. If it was Ray who she attacked, I don't think she'd be feeling as guilty. Obviously it's wasn't her intention to go in there and be like: 'I'm going to whack you over the head!'
"But all of her anger built up. She wanted to show Ray that she wasn't scared of him. It just so happened that it was Adam rather than him. Faye does feel guilty and she also feels bad for bringing Gary into the situation.
"It also looks worse because of the relationship between Adam and Gary. It's making it look like Gary has done it, but Faye knows that he didn't and it's all on her shoulders. I think the genuine guilt is there, but it's more for bringing Gary into the situation than for the attack itself."
Would Faye trust her dad Tim with the truth at some point? She must be worried about how he'd react.
"Yeah, definitely. I think Tim can tell that there's something not right. He's pestering Faye and nagging her to see if she knows anything about what happened. So I think it could all get too much for her and she eventually will tell him what's happened and why she has been the way she is.
"Faye can see that Tim knows there's something wrong. She feels like, even though she has told Gary, she's still got this massive weight on her shoulders and needs to come clean."
This could be classed as attempted murder. Could this lead to Faye leaving the Street?
"I hope not! If Faye did go to the police and felt like that was the right thing to do, it is a serious crime and you do time for things like that. But if Faye does go to the police and tells them what happened, and then ends up going to prison, I hope that it's not forever!"
Will Faye keep Craig in the friend zone forever?
"I don't think Craig is forever friend zoned. Before all of this happened, there was a little hint of something ? a little romance. I think Faye doesn't want to tell him what's been going on because she feels so upset.
"Faye knows, deep down, that Craig has always had feelings for her and maybe that hasn't been reciprocated by her over the years. She feels bad, because Craig is so nice and she's not really had that before. Faye has never really had someone that treated her with the respect that he does."
How have you felt about exploring Faye growing up over the past year?
"I love playing Faye and I love my job. It's been so nice over the last year, because when I started, I was a child and the character was a child. Now we have this storyline that matures Faye and brings her into adulthood.
"I think it's been great to have this transition of Faye being in school, then college and then going to work at the Bistro. Before all of the Ray stuff, she liked working there.
"It was good to build her career up, but things still don't come without their problems for her. She doesn't have an easy life."
Could Faye settle down with a nice boy like Craig once this is all over?
"Oh, I hope she settles down with a nice boy like Craig, he's so cute! But I think Faye does have an eye for a bad boy. Hopefully this makes her realise that they're not all good guys, they do turn out to be bad and the only good guy is Craig!"
How are you spending New Year?
"Well, what can we do to celebrate? I'll probably just be at home with my family and we'll have Corrie on. I'll just have a chilled one. Usually I like to go away with my boyfriend but obviously we can't do that this year, so I think it'll probably be a quiet one."
Coronation Street continues on New Year's Day at 8pm on ITV.
Digital Spy
Coronation Street has confirmed that Faye Windass and Ray Crosby will both be back on our screens next week. The soap revisits a big storyline from last year as Tim Metcalfe pays a visit to Faye in jail.
Faye has been absent from Corrie since April, when she received a three-year sentence for attacking Adam in a case of mistaken identity.
Next week, Tim goes to see his daughter and becomes concerned that she isn't coping well behind bars. Tim later tells Sally how worried he is. Sally then shares this with Debbie in a rubbish game of Chinese Whispers.
Sally wonders whether it might be worth paying a visit to Ray in prison to see whether he'll confess to sexually assaulting Faye last year.
Faye only ever attacked Adam because she believed he was Ray, but has never been able to prove this in court.
Debbie decides to take matters into her own hands by visiting Ray in jail.
Debbie warns Ray that unless he pleads guilty to sexually assaulting Faye, she'll report him to the police for the death of Johnny Connor instead.
Ray is concerned when Debbie points out that she knows all about how he paid Colin to create the sinkhole in the Platts' garden, starting the chain of events that led to Johnny's tragic fate.
Debbie says that Ray has until the end of the day to choose between a sentence for sexual assault or manslaughter.
Will Ray take notice of Debbie's warning?

Coronation Street star Ellie Leach is set to continue on the soap as Faye Windass, it has emerged.
Ellie's character is currently at the centre of a dramatic storyline, after she fatally hit elderly man Ted with a car while driving Emma Brooker (played by departing star Alexandra Mardell).
It is now being reported by The Sun that the actress has signed a new contract with the soap, meaning she will be there for at least another year.
Faye recently returned to the cobbles following a six-month term in jail for mistakenly attacking Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson).
Speaking recently about her time away from the show, Ellie admitted to Digital Spy and other media that she couldn't wait to get back.
"When I came back, everyone was like, 'Oh, what have you been doing?' And I was like, 'Nothing'. It was the most boring six months," she said. "I couldn't wait to get back to work.
"But when I came back, because I've been off for so long, there were new people and I felt so nervous. I've never been off that long before. I've been there like 11 years and I've never had that much time off."
Revealing she had nerves about returning, Ellie explained that she turned to co-star Colson Smith ? aka Craig Tinker.
"I remember the first day back I rang Colson in the car park at work and I was like, 'I don't think I can go in. I'm so nervous' and I got dead anxious," the star continued.
"But obviously as soon as I stepped through the door everyone was like, 'Oh my god, I have not seen you for ages, how are you?!'.
"So it was lovely to be back. But honestly while I was off, I did nothing. I would have liked to have gone away but obviously with the travel restrictions it just meant that I couldn't, which was quite sad, but I'm sure there'll be times I can go away soon."
very early menopause for faye
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/a43013884/coronation-street-revisit-faye-windass-daughter-storyline/
Coronation Street is set to revisit Faye Windass and her daughter's storyline.
Faye gave birth to Miley, her child with Jackson Hodge, back in 2015. Last year, she was left heartbroken after a positive pregnancy test was later confirmed to be early menopause.
Following this, Faye learned that she wouldn't be able to have any more children. This revelation created rifts in Faye's relationship with Craig Tinker.
During Faye's pregnancy storyline, the young teenager struggled to adapt to motherhood. She eventually gave her baby daughter to Jackson's parents Greig and Josie Hodge, who later took Miley to live in Canada.
Now, the soap is aiming to revisit the relationship between Faye and her estranged daughter in scenes set to air next week.
In upcoming scenes, Faye confides in her stepmother Sally Metcalfe and tells her that Jackson has been in contact and asked if she wants to see him and Miley again.
Faye explains to Sally that she's come to terms with never becoming a mother after going through early menopause and doesn't want to run the risk of stirring up her feelings by seeing Miley again.
Sally tells Faye that she's making a huge mistake by not seeing her daughter again. She comes up with a plan to get Faye to change her mind.
When Sally sees a busy Gemma Winter struggling to provide childcare, she offers to look after Michael Bailey's baby daughter Glory for a little while.
In an attempt to get Faye to bond with the little girl, Sally pretends to nip out for a bit and leaves Glory with Faye.
When Sally returns, she finds Faye playing with Glory and hopes that her ploy has worked ? but will it be enough to change Faye's mind?

Coronation Street star Ellie Leach is set for an exit after 12 years on the soap.
The actress has played Faye Windass on the ITV soap since 2011, but The Sun have reported that she will be departing the show later this year, with her final scenes set to air in July.
As per the report, Faye will not be killed off, with Leach wanting to try her hand at other acting roles, leaving the door open for a potential return to the cobbled streets.
The character?s storylines on the soap over the past decade have included becoming pregnant at the age of 13, suffering with premature menopause and a stint in prison after attacking Adam Barlow.
Faye?s recent arc sees her reconnecting with her daughter, Miley, who went to live with father Jackson Hodge in Canada after Faye decided she wasn?t ready to become a parent.
?I was really excited. I feel like it will be good for Faye to try and build a bond with her daughter after she has had so much heartbreak over the years,? Leach said of the storyline. ?Faye has had such a tough time and it would be great for Faye to have a relationship with Miley.
?Colson Smith and I have been looking back at pictures of ourselves from the teenage pregnancy storyline and we can?t believe how young we look! It?s crazy to think that in that storyline Miley was born and in this storyline, she is here now as a child.
?I have looked back at pictures of the scenes of when I gave birth as Faye and some christening pictures and I was holding a baby and now it?s like, she?s all grown up,? she added. ?I just can?t believe how long ago the teenage pregnancy storyline was because it literally feels like two minutes ago.?

https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coronation-street/a43547810/coronation-street-spoilers-faye-windass-proposal/
Coronation Street's Faye Windass faces a life-changing decision next week as Craig Tinker pops the question.
Faye is left torn over whether to accept the proposal, as she's starting to wonder whether her future lies with Jackson Hodge instead.
A few weeks ago, Jackson ? the father of Faye's young daughter Miley ? returned to Weatherfield and tried to reconnect with her.
Jackson wanted Faye to start playing a role in Miley's life. As Jackson and Faye have started spending time together again, there have been hints of chemistry between them.
In next week's episodes, Faye betrays Craig by meeting up with Jackson at a hotel bar without his knowledge.
Faye then faces a dilemma when Jackson suggests that she should move down south with him, as he has just landed a new job.
Just as Faye weighs up this decision, Craig's mum Beth drags her along to Victoria Street gardens.
Faye is confused as a small crowd has gathered, including Jackson and Miley.
All becomes clear as Craig gets down on one knee and declares his love for Faye.
As Craig asks Faye to marry him, will she say yes?
Earlier this month, Corrie insiders revealed that Faye will be leaving the ITV soap in an upcoming storyline.
Show sources suggested that Faye's final scenes will air in July after 12 years on the cobbles.
It's thought that Faye won't be killed off, leaving the door open for her to return at a later point.
