Coronation Street is set to introduce a new character in the Fiz Stape and Phill romance storyline ? his mother.
The pair have been dating for a number of months now following Fiz's split from Tyrone Dobbs, the latter storyline causing plenty of drama on the cobbles this year.
However, star Jennie McAlpine has teased where her relationship with Phill will go, revealing she will meet his mother? which doesn't prove to be an easy feat.
"Phill seems like a great character, but we are going to meet his mother ? and her dog!" the actress revealed to Inside Soap.
"She offers Fiz lunch but says, 'You can't have a slice of chicken because that's for the dog'. This is the kind of thing Fiz is up against!"
Fiz's relationship with Phill has unsurprisingly caused tension with Tyrone, whose relationship with Alina Pop ended last month after he confessed he still had feelings for Fiz.
At one point recently, Tyrone even accused Phill of cheating on Fiz after discovering a napkin with a mysterious woman's number on it in Phill's car.
After airing his accusations, Tyrone realised he had put his foot in it when it turned out the number was actually for a chef to cook a romantic dinner for Phill and Fiz.
Meanwhile, in her latest interview, Jennie reflected on the Fiz and Tyrone split storyline, admitting she had initial worries over not working with co-star Alan Halsall as much.
"The thing that upset me the most in the beginning was the thought that I wasn't going to work with Alan anymore.
"It's like putting on your cosy slippers, and when you think of the history? Fiz and Tyrone have known each other for 20 years ? which is ridiculous! [laughs].
"There were moments where Alan would nod to Jack [Duckworth]'s picture on the mantelpiece, knowing how much he would disapprove!"
