The brother and sister are stood outside with Maria, and soon began bickering over whether Fiona cares about Emma.
Morgan says Fiona has sent him a video message to play for Emma but she refuses to watch it.
Morgan decides to play it anyway.
In the video Fiona tells Emma she can’t believe how quickly John’s passing has happened.
She asks Emma to Skype her when she gets home from the funeral and says Emma’s ‘father’ was a good man, before finishing by saying she was thinking of her daughter and she loved her.
Emma however, is still furious that Fiona didn’t come back to the UK to support her.
Although Emma doesn’t know who her biological father is, it looks likely that it is Corrie’s resident Steve McDonald, who dated Fiona when she lived on Coronation Street.
Audrey and Steve’s mum Liz worked out the date of Emma’s birth was nine months after Steve and Fiona dated for the second time.
