Coronation Street's Carla Connor will be at the centre of a number of dramatic plots in the coming weeks, a report claims.
According to The Sun, the character will be pushed to the forefront before actress Alison King departs the ITV1 soap temporarily for maternity leave.
Carla has already been involved in Liam Connor's (Rob James-Collier) murder storyline, which attracted 9.39m viewers on Friday night.
An insider told the newspaper: "She has got lots of huge storylines lined up before she goes. Her character is very much the centre of attention following Liam's death.
"We'll see her run a whole gamut of emotions as she decides whether or not to go ahead with her marriage to Tony [Gordon]. She's a huge name on the Street and fans love her."
In a recent interview with DS, Corrie's lead producer Kim Crowther confirmed that she had big plans for the character.
She said: "We've got lots of other exciting things planned for Carla, so when Alison returns from maternity leave, she'll be very busy."
