“The arrival of Daisy’s mum will really up-end her life, viewers will have a lot of questions needing answered,” a source told the Metro. “With Daisy settled with Daniel, she won’t be happy to see the woman who has flitted in and out of her life.
“As Daisy’s past is explored, a lot of who she is and why will be explored. There are going to be some really interesting scenes.”
