Coronation Street Spoilers – Hint That The Character Will Leave Weatherfield To Start A New Life In A New Place With Jackson Hodge And Daughter Miley.
Next week, fans will see Faye struggle to face the idea of saying goodbye to Jackson and Miley. They’re set to leave town to start a new life in Slough. They invite her for a farewell dinner but Faye is too heartbroken to attend the final family outing.
Later on, Faye confides in Gary Windass (Mikey North) and admits she wants to go with Jackson and Miley. However, she feels compelled to stay at the cobbles with her current boyfriend Craig Tinder (Colson Smith).
She can’t leave him because he knows something that could send her back to prison. The secret involves Craig covering up the hit-and-run accident committed by Faye and Emma Brooker. The incident left Ted Spear (Duggie Brown) dead back in January 2022.
Towards the end of the week, Faye makes an effort to keep her emotions in check while Jackson and Miley visit to take family photos prior to their departure for Slough.
