Coronation Street actress Ellie Leach has said that her character Faye is excited but nervous to be reconnecting with her daughter Miley.
Having given birth at the age of just 13, Faye decided to give up Miley and let her live with the baby's father Jackson (Joseph William Evans) and his parents in Canada.
In scenes airing next week, Faye will agree to meet Miley (Frankie-Jae Simmonds) - now seven years old - after she and Jackson return to the UK.
"Faye is excited but the nerves are so much greater than the excitement as she is desperate for Miley to like her," said Leach, who has been on the Corrie cast for more than 12 years.
"Faye is also questioning what she will be like around Miley because she doesn't know this child and she doesn't know how to be a parent. It's like they are both strangers meeting for the first time but Miley is still Faye's daughter."
She continued: "Faye's biggest fear is that Miley won't like her and will resent her for abandoning her and Jackson.
"Faye is also worried about meeting Miley and realising that she loves her so much that she can't let her go again. Faye is scared that she will build a bond with Miley and it will be taken away again."
Coronation Street continues Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
