Coronation Street recasts actor after six years with 'worst news' bombshell

Coronation Street spoilers reveal Faye Windass will be rocked by a blast from the past in upcoming scenes.

The character receives a text message from a former character that leaves her in turmoil, as she learns some big news.

Troubled Faye soon confides in her stepmother Sally Metcalfe, revealing what has happened and it's all linked to her past.

A preview clip for scenes to air next week reveals former flame Jackson has made contact, and he's back in the UK with their young daughter Miley.

Fans of the ITV soap may recall that Faye slept with fellow teen Jackson when she was 12 years old, and fell pregnant with his child.

After giving birth to a baby daughter, Miley, she was keen to place her up for adoption but Jackson's parents told her they wanted to care for the child.

Jackson and his family ended up leaving for Canada with Miley, something Faye and her dad Tim were unaware of until they'd already left.

Faye has not really been a part of her child's life, even after a surprise run-in with her and Jackson in 2017.

They bumped into each other at the hospital, and Faye got to spend some time with her young daughter - only for her then partner Seb Franklin to get jealous.

After he got into a fight with Jackson, he and his family went back to Canada and took Miley with them.

Now, Faye is about to get into contact with Jackson once again as he makes another return to the UK with their daughter, with Jackson set to be recast and will now be played by actor Joseph Evans. The role was previously taken on by Rhys Cadman.

In scenes to air next week, Faye reveals all on the possible reunion but she calls it the "worst news ever", not wanting to see her daughter or Jackson it seems.

As Sally senses something is up, Faye tells her: "I got a message from Jackson this morning. Miley's dad, my daughter. They've moved back to the UK, he wants to know if I wanna see them."

Sally asks her: "Well that's good news, isn't it?" to which Faye replies: "No it's not, it's the opposite. It's the worst news ever."

The clip ends before Faye explains her feelings, but will she change her mind about seeing Miley?

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
