Well it was a bit of an emergency!

Exactly!

I am confused to how all this is Owens fault. Yes he had all that problem with Phelan and they lost everything and yes his wife came recently and that caused problems.

Much as I dislike Owen it's not all his fault. They all played a part in the family's misfortunes and Anna's certainly in the wrong about not listening to Faye. I think she was just lashing out at him as people who fall out of love with each other tend to do.

Faye to make a big decision” about Miley's future, reveals Debbie Rush
"Anna and Tim have really been supporting Faye and they do come to realise that not every mum loves their child"
Corrie viewers have already seen teen mum Faye Windass (Ellie Leach) struggle in the wake of giving birth to daughter Miley. But now, it seems, the situation is set to reach crisis point.
“Faye makes a big decision,” actress Debbie Rush – who plays Faye’s adoptive mum Anna – told RadioTimes.com on the red carpet at the British Soap Awards. “Both Anna and Tim have really been supporting Faye and they do come to realise that not every mum loves their child. Between them, they’re going to do what’s best for the baby.”
Viewers have already seen Anna trying to get Faye to take responsibility for her newborn. But Anna will soon discover that she's fighting a losing battle.
"Faye has made it plainly obvious that she isn't very happy about the baby. The audience will know that. What we'll see now is that however much she tries to be kind, there’s no nurturing involved whatsoever. She’s just not got a nurturing bone in her because she’s only a child."
Yet despite the fact that Faye is proving to be uninterested in parenthood, Rush believes that Anna's efforts should be recognised. "Anna's tough love approach is quite good because need to show our young society that it’s not a bed of roses and they’ve got to take some responsibility. I’m really pleased with the way it went."
As for the future for Anna, actress Rush teased that her character might become less beleaguered in the months ahead, particularly when it comes to comic scenes with sparring partner Sally Webster.
"There's more of that coming up. We’ve had three years of downtrodden Anna and I’m really grateful for the storylines. But this might feel like a whole new role again. It’ll keep things spiced up!"

There's a big difference between tough love and being controlling and spiteful dear. Shaming your young daughter in front of her friends will encourage resentment not responsibility!

Exactly!!
To do it to any child would be horrendous-
to do it a girl with previous history of neglect
and abuse and lack of stability is doubly so.

Annas portrayal is insulting to those fosterers
who give stability to children from troubled
backgrounds and also to fostering staff on
councils etc who I am sure would have
monitored the progression from fostering
to adoption more thoroughly.

Actually quite disturbing what the actress Debbie Rush thinks of her character..I'm totally shocked that she thinks her behaviour towards Faye is 'tough love' and not abuse!
I have a 12 year old daughter myself and the thought that I would in any circumstances go to her school and embarrass her in front of her friends!! - is just so awful! Remember too what she said, that 'Faye you should have thought about that before dropping down your knickers at the ice rink!' Just terrible...Anna is just mad! She didn't think of Faye at all-she's impulsive, crazy bitch, that's all. If she can't cope, she can ask for help from social services and give the baby for fostering or let Sally&Tim take over. Tim is far better dad than the mother Anna has never been.

The comments from.actress are appalling and
inexcusable!.
Its possible that if she continues in this vein
in public -she could receive a real life visit
from Social Services concerned about the
welfare of her own children. As has happened
to Katie Hopkins after her twitter comments.

Its one thing publicising a show you are in-
and quite another to infer you would treat
your own children as an unbalanced soap
character treats her fictional adopted child.
