Coronation Street's Anna Windass starts to realise that something isn't right with her adopted daughter Faye next week.
12-year-old Faye is hiding a secret pregnancy and while she has so far managed to stop her family from finding out, her strange behaviour starts to arouse concern in the coming days.
Here, Debbie Rush - who plays Anna - offers her thoughts on the ongoing storyline and the recent problems sparked by the arrival of Owen's ex-wife Linda.
Are the recent problems with Linda distracting Anna from what is going on with Faye?
"Anna is well aware that there's something going on with Faye, but I think she thinks that it's teenage problems or maybe a few problems at school. A pregnancy is the last thing she suspects - Faye is her little girl, so that would be the last thing she would think. But then with everything else going on, maybe Anna has got 101 things to contend with at the same time!"
What happens when Anna takes Faye to see the doctor for a bad cold and mentions her weight worries?
"Anna has been worried about Faye. Even with everything else going on, Faye is still her daughter and she knows when something isn't right. But she has noticed that Faye has been worrying about putting on weight, so she uses the chance at the doctors to bring it up.
"Faye cannot deal with it at all and runs out mortified. Anna feels devastated that she's upset her, as that was the last thing she wanted to do. She doesn't know what to do for the best."
Faye also runs out of a school parents meeting after seeing Jackson, the father of her baby. What does Anna make of Faye's odd behaviour?
"When Faye runs out of the doctors, Anna knows that it's because she's embarrassed and she feels really awful for upsetting her. Anna apologises to her and gets upset. With everything else going on, the last thing she wants is Faye to be upset.
"Her and Owen are really confused when Faye runs out of school during the parents' meeting, though. Anna doesn't know what to think. I think she maybe starts to worry that something is going on at school that she doesn't know about."
How do you think Anna will react towards Faye when she eventually finds out about the pregnancy?
"She will be absolutely gobsmacked, she will be stunned. I think Anna will have a mixture of feelings. She will be devastated that Faye didn't think she could tell her about something this huge."
Will Anna blame herself?
"I think she will to a certain extent. Anna will blame herself for not noticing that something serious was going on and she will worry that other issues - with everything going on with Linda and Owen and Gary - meant that she maybe took her eye off Faye."
Do you think it'll put an even bigger strain on Anna's relationship with Owen?
"They've been through so much recently and their relationship is under so much strain with the whole Gary and Roy situation and then Linda coming on the scene and Anna finding out about Owen's lies. I think the pressure it will put Anna under may well put her and Owen under even more strain."
How is Anna feeling about Linda being on the scene?
"Anna is feeling uneasy about Linda being around and she feels uncomfortable about the whole situation, certainly since she found out Owen had been lying to them all about how she had left him and the girls all of them years ago.
"Obviously as a woman Anna feels slightly uncomfortable because Linda has a history with Owen. She's his ex-wife and the mother of his children, so understandably she feels a bit worried about it. Now Anna knows the truth about Linda's affair and how hurt Owen was, she does feel quite put out and uneasy about the whole situation - she almost feels a bit of an outsider."
Does Anna feel threatened by Linda?
"Yes, understandably Anna feels uneasy about Linda being around because she's Owen's ex-wife. Linda is glamorous and has this lovely life in Portugal, while all her and Owen seem to be doing is arguing and facing problem after problem. Anna worries that Owen loved Linda more than he loves her now.
"I think Linda's presence unsettles the balance in the Windass home and that really worries Anna. Having said that, while Linda being around makes Anna worry, she does also massively empathise with her. As a mother Anna can understand how Linda must be feeling and how awful it must have been to have been away from her girls all of these years. She really does feel for her. It's a real mixed bag of emotions for Anna."
Does Anna worry that Owen has unresolved feelings for his ex-wife?
"Yes I think that worry does cross her mind, absolutely. There are a couple of times where Owen defends Linda and tells Anna that Linda's not a bad woman and then he invites Linda up to the flat to look at old photos with him and Katy.
"Anna really does worry that Linda being around has reminded him of how much he loved her and that it might have brought back old feelings. Anna tries to make an effort to get dressed up and go for drinks with Owen and focus on their relationship, but there just appear to be so many distractions and so many obstacles for them to move past."
