Owen, played by Ian Puleston-Davies, hits the schoolgirl in an upcoming plot as he takes care of her while Anna is away, according to the Daily Star.
The storyline is believed to unfold when Anna (Debbie Rush) has to leave Weatherfield for a few days to look after her brother, who is unwell. While she is gone, Faye causes chaos by repeatedly disobeying Owen.
Sources say that Owen finally loses his temper when Faye (Ellie-Louise Leach) kills his fish by pouring creosote into its new pond in the back yard.
Stunned when Owen strikes her as a punishment, Faye makes contact with Anna and the café worker returns home in a fury. Anna and Owen soon clash over their different approaches to parenting, leaving their future in jeopardy.
Owen apparently defends his actions by saying: "Look, things just got out of hand. The kid needs boundaries and I showed her where they start."
However, angry Anna declares: "I can't be sure you'll not hit her again and I can't ever take that risk, so it's over between us."
Owen and Anna have been dating on screen for a few weeks, but recent episodes have shown that Faye is struggling to warm to her adoptive mum's new boyfriend.
Coronation Street is expected to air the new storyline early next year.
Faye deserves more than a slap for killing the fish :angry:
She is a spoiled brat. Who need boundaries. Anna is doing herself no favour letting her get away with everything. Owen will have gone to far hitting her. She needs sending upstairs for a good few years.
No!!!! :thumbsdowQuote:

I agree plus Faye can do no wrong in Anna's eyes ppor Eddie left because of herQuote:

Coronation Street actor Ian Puleston-Davies has revealed he never wanted to be a straight-forward villain.
The actor, who plays builder Owen Armstrong in the ITV soap, admitted that while his alter-ego may be a control freak and a womaniser, he always hoped that he would become a more rounded character.
"I was a little nervous in the beginning when all I seemed to be doing was pointing fingers and telling my children off," he said.
"Apart from the fear of being stuck in a corner and being the Corrie baddie, which I certainly didn't want to be from the outset, I was really holding my breath that they'd soften the endings and show there were more layers to him. I knew they weren't going to go down the axe murder route because they said that from the off, but I did think he was a little too angry for too long, and I'm glad over the last 18 months they have added layers to Owen."
Ian - who has portrayed Owen since June 2010 - reckons his character isn't in the same league as infamous Weatherfield villains like Richard Hillman or Jez Quigley.
"He was complicated and he has got massive issues, he's not just out and out bad," he continued.
"He's obviously very bitter and unforgiving about his wife having left him to look after his kids; there's a lot of anger there, which hopefully Anna will coax out of him and sort out over the coming months."
That's nice, and they're right, he is an actual character and not just a baddie. Soaps shouldn't be divided into nice people and axe murderers with nothing inbetween!
Anna Windass's romance with Owen Armstrong hits the rocks on Coronation Street this week after the no-nonsense builder lashes out at her adopted daughter Faye.
When a family emergency takes Anna away from Weatherfield for the night, Owen (Ian Puleston-Davies) steps in to look after Faye. However, he soon receives a shock as he discovers that the troubled youngster was responsible for pouring creosote into his fish pond, killing his new pets.
Deciding that Faye (Ellie-Louise Leach) needs discipline, Owen smacks her on the back of the legs - but Anna is livid when she later finds out what he has done, leaving the future of their relationship in jeopardy. Can the couple reach an understanding over their different approaches to parenting, or is it over between them?
Here, Debbie Rush - who plays Anna - chats to Digital Spy about the storyline.
How does the Owen and Faye storyline all come about?
"Well, Anna's brother has an accident so she's needed elsewhere - she goes off to see him and help the family. Because Anna has nobody to look after Faye while she's away, Owen kindly offers to step in. Owen has daughters of his own and Anna trusts him, so she's happy to leave Faye with him overnight. But everything goes wrong while she's away, and that's when the incident between Owen and Faye happens."
When Anna returns home the next day, Owen tells her that he's had a row with Faye after discovering that she killed the fish. How does Anna react?
"Anna is very disappointed in Faye and she's also quite worried, but at the end of the day, she has adopted a 9-year-old girl who has a lot of issues and concerns of her own. It gives Anna a bit of a wake-up call that Faye isn't as settled and grounded as she thought - she still has a lot of issues that need to be worked out."
Not long afterwards, Anna hears Faye's side of the story and how Owen slapped her as a punishment. How does Anna feel about that?
"Anna is absolutely devastated, because she really trusted Owen. Anna doesn't believe in smacking children full-stop - she's part of the 'Full Stop' campaign. So she's absolutely distraught and devastated that Owen has done this."
Faye originally came from a violent family, which makes the situation all the more alarming for Anna…
"Yes, she did, and this is something that we've not really touched on with viewers until now - Faye's past. But Faye has a very troubled history and that's why she ended up in care. Faye has now put all of her trust into Anna, and it's only recently that she's started calling Anna 'mum'. As Anna has made so much progress with Faye and there's a trust between them, Owen doing this is quite a big thing."
Even though Anna doesn't agree with Owen hitting Faye, does she agree that her bad behaviour needs to be addressed?
"Yes, even though Anna doesn't believe in smacking children, she has always tried to be quite disciplined with Faye. But what happens as a result of this incident is that Anna realises Faye's issues are quite deep-rooted, so she might have to take a different tack with her in future. It's not that Faye needs more discipline, it's just that Anna might have to approach things in a different way and understand her a bit better."
Can Anna trust Owen after this?
"I think it's going to be very difficult. As you see the story progress, you'll see that even though Owen smacks Faye, it's not an abuse storyline and it's not something that's happened before. It's just that Owen has a very different parenting style to Anna.
"I think anybody who's in a relationship where there are children from other marriages will really relate to this storyline. Anna and Owen are both good parents with good hearts, but their approaches to parenting are very different."
Do you think it would be a shame if this situation split up Anna and Owen for good?
"It would be a shame, because they're one of those couples who got together quite unexpectedly and it all happened out of the blue. I think Anna and Owen have had a proper love story. Anna tried her hardest to resist it, because she didn't want another fella on the block so quickly after Eddie. But I think it's plainly obvious that they've got a lot of chemistry and they are madly in love.
"After this incident, you will see that even though it's very, very difficult and Anna totally disagrees with what Owen's done, she knows that he hasn't done it because he's a child-beater - it's just his different approach to parenting. They've got a lot to discuss and work through, so we'll have to see what happens."
Can you see this story provoking a lot of discussion among the Corrie viewers?
"Yeah, I think it probably will. I think you'll have half the viewers thinking that Faye needs pulling in line and that Owen was right, and the other half thinking that Faye just needs more understanding and cuddles. I think it will definitely split opinions. Even though Anna is so angry about what's happened, I think the viewers will be able to see both sides of the story."
Ellie, who plays Faye, is still a relatively new addition to the show. Have you enjoyed having her on board in the past few months?
"Definitely - Ellie is an absolute little star. She's so well-behaved and she's such a pleasure to have on set. She's really, really professional - it's great."
Bringing in Faye, Owen's family and Chesney has brought about a new era for the Windass clan. Have you enjoyed freshening things up a bit in the past year?
"It's been really nice, because now we have a big bubbling pot of different people in there. I think we are probably quite a modern family on the street. It's three different types of family who have all joined together, and I think that's something that happens a lot in real life. It's been really interesting to explore that."
Anna never did marry Eddie, so if she works things out with Owen, would you like to see a Corrie wedding on the horizon?
"That would be really good - I think we should have a Corrie special for it, where we all go off somewhere glamorous and sunny! Anna was an awful lot younger than Eddie when they first got together, and then when their relationship progressed and they had Gary, Eddie never asked her to marry him. Poor old Eddie - once he was finally ready to commit and he did ask her, it was too late as he'd let her down too many times.
"It's not that Anna is against marriage, it's just that it was never right with Eddie. If Owen asked Anna to marry him, I think she'd probably accept his offer straight away! I think we've seen quite a different relationship between Anna and Owen - it's been a lot more about passion and love."
With the National Television Awards on the way, why do you think we should all be voting for Corrie as the 'Best Serial Drama' this year?
"I just think that Corrie covers all issues and we manage to fit some humour in there too. I think you can switch it on and feel sad, but still laugh at other things that are going on, which makes it a breath of fresh air. Hopefully our die-hard fans and viewers know all this already. We're all working very hard, so hopefully people will vote for us."
Where would you like the Windasses to go next?
"Well, recently we've been filming some really, really interesting stuff - but I can't say anything about it because it won't be on screen for a while as we film so far in advance.
"I love the fact that all of these different characters have come together and brought about different aspects to the family. I think we're representing what can happen in real life, and the things that we're filming are covering a lot of these issues. The fact that we've all been slung in together makes things really interesting and also creates a lot of drama, so you'll definitely see more drama on the way - and hopefully that's the way things will stay!"
Ian Puleston-Davies has said that his Coronation Street alter ego Owen Armstrong is in love with Anna Windass.
This week, Owen slaps Anna's foster daughter Faye, leading to the couple's break-up.
But Puleston-Davies believes Debbie Rush's character will reunite with Owen, telling Soaplife: "I hope [they get back together].
"I think when she calms down and when she hears enough of his defence he'll be able to persuade her to realise that it was a mistake, that he's accepted and acknowledged it was wrong and that he crossed the line."
The 53-year-old added: "He believes that their love is stronger than this mistake and he believes it won't ever happen again."
Chatting to Digital Spy, Rush revealed that Anna will find it "very difficult" to trust Owen following the slap.
I don't like them together. He's awful, and now violent too! :thumbsdow
Coronation Street's Ian Puleston-Davies has outlined his desire to be involved in a long-running story.
The Weatherfield actor hopes that his character Owen Armstrong will be a central part of his daughters' future surrogacy plot.
"What I'm looking forward to now is settling into hopefully a longer storyline, because it just gives you more creativity and it gives you somewhere to go," Puleston-Davies hypothesised.
"It grows, it gets bigger and bigger and it becomes more involving, and it could possibly even involve a bigger family, so we're all really excited about that."
Teenage mum-of-one Katy next Thursday (August 16) offers to become a surrogate mother for her disabled sister Izzy, who lost her baby with Gary Windass a fortnight ago.
The Welsh actor also disclosed how Owen discovers Izzy and Gary's plan at the christening of Katy's son Joseph the following day, teasing: "I think it went wrong fabulously at the christening.
"I was very excited by the fact that they decided to have Owen's discovery of the surrogacy care of his youngest daughter to happen by whispers during the service. I thought that was a wonderfully clever dramatic choice."
Coronation Street's surrogacy storyline kicks off during next Thursday's episodes, before dominating Friday's double bill.

CORRIE will be rocked by the arrival of adopted Faye Windass’s down-and-out dad later this year.
Bosses are now casting for the role and although he won’t move permanently to Weatherfield, sources say he could return if popular with viewers.
A show insider said: “The arrival of Faye’s real dad will come as a shock to everyone.

Coronation Street's Anna Windass cares more for partner Owen Armstrong than ex-husband Eddie.
Actress Debbie Rush believes that Anna would face a more difficult decision to leave Owen if his behaviour continues to jeopardise her adoption of Faye.
"She made that decision when Eddie was around and I think she would choose Faye again," she told the Radio Times.
"But it would be more difficult now because she really does care for Owen and she knows they could have a great family life."
Of Owen's role in the drama, Rush added: "He's upset because it's gone from a situation where Faye was starting to treat Owen more like a dad to her now saying that she hates him.
"He feels very pushed out but, as usual, he goes about things the wrong way and Anna gives him a warning."
The actress added: "He's well meaning but he just doesn't deal with situations like this very well."
Corrie actress Debbie Rush has praised young co-star Ellie Leach for her attitude on set.
Leach, 11, has been busy on screen in recent weeks as viewers have seen her character Faye Windass getting to know real dad Tim (Joe Duttine) after they made contact online.
Rush's alter ego Anna is concerned over her adopted daughter spending time with Tim, but she has reluctantly accepted their meetings in recent episodes.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Rush commented: "Ellie is fantastic. She's doing a really good job and she's so sensible. She works really, really hard and she's got school in between her scenes.
"Everyone loves her on set because she's really well-behaved and she's just very mature. She's had quite a lot to do, really, and I think that's what people are starting to realise. Ellie's had lots of little storylines and she's been quite busy since she arrived. I think she does really well, because she is only just 11."
Confirming that Faye's storyline will continue for a while, she explained: "I'm not sure what happens in the story beyond April, but I know it will certainly play out until the beginning of June at least."
Rush added that she will be sad to see Julie Hesmondhalgh bow out from her role as Hayley Cropper later this year. Anna often shares scenes with the Croppers while working at Roy's café.
She said: "I'm gutted, but Julie wants to go onto pastures new and that's great and what's right for her. But we're all absolutely gutted because she's so fabulous and such a good friend."
Coronation Street continues tonight (March 1) at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
I still miss Eddie. They need to bring him back.
I do as well, he was really good I just don't think they used him in the right way.
So Faye's plan was to get Tim and Anna together.

Coronation Street's Anna Windass will be left devastated when she is accused of child abuse, in an upcoming storyline.
Faye (Ellie Leach), who was adopted by Anna (Debbie Rush), accuses her mum of beating her up, the Daily Star reports.
Faye lies to social services in a bid to move out of Anna's house and in with her biological dad across the street.
Viewers will see social workers take Faye away, to the horror of Anna.
Anna's boyfriend, Owen Armstrong (Ian Puleston-Davies), will try and reassure her that she has done nothing wrong.
Faye's dad Tim arrived in Weatherfield in January, leading a shocked Anna to worry that she may lose her daughter.
Debbie Rush recently praised young co-star Ellie Leach for her attitude on set.
anna should ship her off to tim
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,
Yes me eitherQuote:

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.
I'm fed up of the Windass/Armstrong families already
You and at least 10,000,000 other Corrie viewers I'd guess.
