Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has said that her character Michelle Connor will clash with Liz McDonald over the best course of action for Steve.
With Michelle now focused solely on helping Steve (Simon Gregson) to get better following their reconciliation, she faces opposition from his mum Liz as it becomes apparent that they have very different approaches.
While Liz adopts a "tough love" approach with her son, Michelle thinks they should tread more carefully around him, worried about his vulnerable state.
Marsh said: "They both obviously want to help Steve but because both of them are so worried about him and love him so much - they both want to help him in their own way.
"Understandably they clash as they're both so concerned about him. They both have different approaches - Liz is more of the tough love approach and tries to get Steve up and doing things, whereas Michelle is much more trying the softly-softly approach."
Marsh added: "Liz doesn't think it's the best way because Michelle is so protective of Steve and doesn't want to hurt or upset him. After everything that's happened with the crash, Michelle thinks they should go easy on him."
Despite the disagreement, Marsh believes that the pair will be able to put their differences aside eventually in order to work together to help Steve.
"They do both realise that they shouldn't be arguing and that they are both so worried and have so much going on", she said.
"They realise that whatever approach they both want to take, ultimately they both want the same thing because they both want the best for Steve."
