As Amy is only 14, sexual intercourse is illegal – and could end in prosecution if the dad is considered an adult.
The storyline kicks off on Monday (21 January), when Amy bunks off school and attends a family planning clinic, explaining to the nurse that she’s pregnant and needs the abortion pill.
But, when the nurse insists she must discuss her situation with an adult first, Amy leaves upset.

In turmoil, Amy texts grandma Liz and asks to meet in the urban garden where she drops the bombshell that she’s pregnant and needs Liz to accompany her for an abortion.
But, knowing it’s the right thing to do, Liz persuades her she needs to talk to Tracy and Steve.
Meanwhile, a frantic Tracy gets a call from school to say Amy is missing…
After Liz leads a nervous Amy home, the teenager tells her shocked parents the news that she is pregnant…
While Tracy remains surprisingly calm, Steve flies off the handle and storms to the corner shop accuses Aadi of being the father.
When Steve demands to know who the Dad is, Amy refuses to give a name – and worries that the whole school will be talking about her now.
On Wednesday (23 January), Tracy tries the softly softly approach with Amy, gently quizzing her about the father of her baby, and discovers that it was consensual sex at a Christmas party.
Later, Amy discusses her situation with Simon, and Steve jumps to conclusions…
Revealing his suspicions to Tracy, she reads a text from Simon on Amy’s phone and sets off on the warpath.
In front of Peter, Tracy accuses Simon of getting Amy pregnant. While he denies it, it’s clear he’s hiding something.
Meanwhile, at the family planning clinic, Amy is told she needs a scan before a termination. When the ultrasound reveals that Amy is in fact 10 weeks pregnant, which means a surgical abortion, Tracy realises Amy has been lying about the conception.
On Friday (25 January), tensions come to a head when Amy continues to conceal who the father is – and Leanne and Tracy come to blows after Tracy points the finger at Simon.
Will Amy finally reveal who the father is?
And will she decide to keep the baby after a heart-to-heart with Faye Windass?
In 2015, Faye – the adopted daughter of Anna Windass – fell pregnant when she was just 12 and became the youngest parent in the soap’s history.
She kept the pregnancy a secret from everyone except Craig Tinker as she desperately tried to come to terms with the news that she would become a mother.
The ITV1 soap has previously tackled teen pregnancy with Sarah Platt.
