Coronation Street: What’s next for Faye?

Earlier this week, Faye saw Geoff arguing with a woman in the ginnel. However what she didn’t know is the woman is her grandmother, Tim’s biological mum, Elaine.

In last night’s episode (Wednesday, August 5), Faye asked her grandad who he was arguing with. But he claimed she was some random woman who didn’t keep her distance and coughed on him.
