Coronation Street's Faye Windass will be in for a devastating shock next week on the ITV soap, as she receives an upsetting health diagnosis.
The character, aged 20, will be told she is suffering from early menopause by a doctor after recent health tests at the hospital.
Faye had thought she was pregnant, and after experiencing pains she feared she was having a miscarriage.
But Faye and partner Craig Tinker were stunned and confused to learn Faye had never been pregnant, and it was instead a false positive.
The doctors decided to run some tests to clear up what had caused the positive result, and why Faye had experienced pregnancy symptoms.
Since then, her and Craig decided to try for a baby despite Craig's mum Beth telling her that her partner wasn't ready for kids.
Next week, Faye attends a hospital appointment alone as she the results come back, and she learns devastating news.
At the medical centre, her doctor tells her she’s suffering from an early menopause and will never be able to have anymore children.
The character has a daughter named Miley who she welcomed when she was 15 years old, while she placed her up for adoption.
Faye is reeling over the news after her hopes to start a family soon with Craig, and she soon reveals the news to her father Tim.
An upset Faye later meets with Craig back at the flat, and tells him what she's been told, and that she can't carry anymore children.
Spoiler images show the moment an emotional Faye confirms the diagnosis, as Craig looks on in shock - but can he give her the support she needs?
In a devastating update, Craig admits to his girlfriend that he's told his mum Beth the news - and her reaction isn't nice at all.
Beth tells her son he should dump Faye because she can’t have his children, but what will his reaction be?
Faye will need the support of Craig and both of their families, but whether the couple can make it through the latest upset remains to be seen.
It's been a tough couple of years for the pair after Faye found herself sent to prison after accidentally attacking Adam Barlow.
She had been sexually assault by Ray Crosby leading to the attack, with her not realising she'd hit the wrong man.
Just this year she was caught up in a car accident that led to the death of a man named Ted, and when Craig found out the truth it put a strain on their romance.
