Exactly. She's a horrible child, I still don't think tim is all he is cracked up to be. There's something dodgy I'm sure of it,
Debbie Rush has revealed that her on-screen family have a dramatic few months ahead.
The actress's character Anna Windass is currently in turmoil as her adopted daughter Faye (Ellie Leach) grows closer to her real dad Tim Metcalfe, who is now living in a flat on the street.
This week's episodes see Faye accuse Anna of child abuse in a desperate bid to live with Tim full-time.
Although Anna's name is later cleared as Faye eventually admits that she was lying, Rush has teased that this is just the start of the troubles ahead for the Windasses.
Asked how things play out once Anna's innocence is established, Rush told itv.com: "There's a lot more drama to come. Unfortunately there's a lot more big, sad drama to come.
"I think the Windass house is not going to be a happy place for quite some time."
Rush also admitted that she can understand why Anna is so mistrustful of Tim (Joe Duttine) and doesn't want Faye living with the builder.
She said: "She thinks he's a bad lot and she thinks he'll be a rubbish dad. She's very upset that Faye has requested [to live with him] because she loves her so much."
Coronation Street continues tonight (April 15) at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
Debbie Rush has admitted that she wants viewers to have sympathy for troubled Faye Windass.
The actress's character Anna is currently in turmoil after adopted daughter Faye (Ellie Leach) falsely accused her of child abuse, hoping that the deceit would lead to her moving in with real dad Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine).
Speaking on ITV's Loose Women this afternoon (April 19), Rush urged fans to remember Faye's dark past.
Rush explained: "I constantly keep reminding people she's got a very troubled background. She's come to Anna, and Anna's trying to make everything rosy and all nice for her - but she's still telling lies.
"They are dangerous lies, but she's told them because she thinks the grass is greener on the other side. She is a 10-year-old little girl who, at the end of the day, is telling these lies because she wants to live with her dad. She's got this romantic idea of what he's like."
She continued: "Faye was kind of brought up in a crack den, [Tim] left when she was 2. He left her to the mother, who's now died of a heroin overdose. So I think, rightly, Anna is incredibly worried - who is this man and why has he suddenly turned up on the scene?
"Tonight, I'm allowed to say, the truth will come out. We'll find out that Faye's lying, but the troubles for the Windasses are not over. The troubles with Tim are by far not over. It will continue. So the truth will come out, but it's just going to continue on, and there will be a lot more trouble to come."
Rush added that she finds it easy to switch off from her emotional storylines once the cameras stop rolling.
She said: "I used to work in a special needs school. What I'm doing now is a job that I absolutely love and I want to do more than anything - I want to act.
"When I worked in the special needs school, some horrible things would go on, and you've got to be able to switch off and go home to your family. That was far harder than what I'm doing now."
Coronation Street continues tonight at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
faye has been a brat from day one
Why is Anna wearing a wedding ring?
Coronation Street star Debbie Rush has warned fans to expect "more heartbreak" in the Windass clan's current storyline.
The actress's character Anna Windass is adjusting to a new family dynamic after her adoptive daughter Faye insisted on moving in with her real dad Tim Metcalfe (Joe Duttine). She is also concerned that Tim may not be looking after Faye properly.
Speaking to PA, Rush confirmed that the story has a long way to go.
She explained: "There'll be more heartbreak. It will get worse before it gets better, because that's what happens in real life.
"I think there's a lot of troubled children out there, that are from dysfunctional families or from somewhere where nobody wants them, and they end up in the fostering system.
"Anna and Owen are desperately... because they're good parents and they've got good hearts... they want to make sure that this girl has a stable, happy life. But there will be a lot more to come."
Rush also heaped praise on young co-star Ellie Leach, who plays Faye, for her attitude at work.
"She's only just 12, she's amazing for her age," Rush said. "She really cares and everybody loves her. She's nothing like her character, she's just the most beautiful little girl. And in between she has to go and do her lessons and then she's on the floor and she's just amazing. She's very grounded."
Coronation Street continues tomorrow (May 23) at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
