Coronation Street spoiler: Phelan's daughter set to stir up the Cobbles with explosive entrance
The "feisty" newcomer (played by Nicola Thorpe) teased her upcoming debut, telling press including Express.co.uk that her stint on the show will bring out a new side to Phelan (Connor McIntyre).
Nicola explained: "When she arrives she obviously has no idea that this man could be her daughter - her parents are both dead as far as she is aware.
"She is Seb's [Franklin] coworker and encourages him to have an apprenticeship at the Builders' Yard and they form a relationship.
"She hasn't really got anything to resent other than she's lived a lie but ultimately that's not Phelan's fault but that lies with her parents not being honest.

"With both of her parents being dead I think she would be stupid not to let him in her life.
"It's lovely as a fan of the show to see this side of him, and I get so excited to see this new side," the 28-year-old added.

"There are a few moments where that [behaviour] comes out and that worries her…but I haven't hit anyone on the head with a laptop yet!" she joked.
