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.Quote:

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..

We (viewers) should have been told more. Went unnoticed for me, that she came home crying from some party few months ago. I remember she had been drinking and Gary got into trouble as well-but nothing else..??
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?Quote:

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 theyQuote:

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.

I miss character like Hailey in the storylines like this..Faye could tell her, Hailey was always very helpful.
but at 7 months gone abortion wouldnt even have been an issue?Quote:

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
actress??

Yes, that was the same incident I think. Faye was upset but wouldn't tell anyone what was wrong.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.

Coronation Street spoiler video: Craig asks Faye if she is pregnant
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.

Faye feels sick with anxiety, faced with constant reminders of her own awful situation.

"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.Quote:

Could be a typo from DS or whoever released this interview, Mr Blackburn might not have been quoted correctly ...
Goodness me!! Faye's pregnancy is kept secret until she gives birth!
theres a dreadful rumour about whoQuote:

Hmmmm ? Who?
Oh I know now!
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.Quote:

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!
a bit more info!!
baby born healthy - which is good news
and cuts out some more dire possibilities.
Im just hoping some of the other characters
mainly Sally- also Tim & Craig play a big enough
part to "save" the story.!
Well it is soap/ drama! I work for social services within a hospital & yes it does happen quite often.
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.Quote:
