She has been part of some of the most emotional storylines on the cobbles since joined Coronation Street back in 2011, and Ellie Leach is again at the centre of the drama after the return of her daughter Miley. Her character Faye Windass did a stint in prison for attacking Adam Barlow after mistaking him for sleazy boss Ray Crosby, collided with an elderly man on a driving lesson who later died, and she was then diagnosed with early menopause.
Now Faye, who is reportedly leaving the show this summer, is wrestling with her emotions after the daughter she gave up so could start a new life in Canada with her dad, came back into her life. Faye was just 12 when she found out that she was pregnant with Jackson Hodge, who was a year above her at Weatherfield High School, and she gave birth to a daughter Miley in 2015.
The schoolgirl decided to hand the baby over to Jackson and his parents. However, Jackson made contact after returning to the UK wanting to make contact. Faye explained to stepmum Sally Metcalfe that she came to terms with never being a mother due to her menopause and didn't want to run the risk of stirring up her feelings by seeing Miley, so at first she was fuming when her dad Tim welcomed them into his house.
