It has been revealed that the little one will be played by identical five-month-old triplets, Erin, Eilah and Elsie.
The trio will take it in turns to play the 12-year-old's only child.
The
soap's youngest stars were cast after agents put up posters in
maternity wards around the region asking for twins to play the newborn.
The
girls father, Martyn Halliwell, said: "My
cousin suggested that we should get in touch. He said 'There is a high
demand for twins, let alone triplets.'
"We sent some photos over and within two hours we heard back to say
they had a client who was interested. On the Monday we were at
Coronation Street."
Martyn and the triplets mother Laura Slinger are said to be delighted at how well filming has gone so far.
He
added: "One of the triplets cries on cue so when they need a crying
baby we take Elsie down for filming and when they need a calm baby we
take Erin."
The babies will make their first appearance on Good Friday when a shocked Faye starts having contractions in the flat above Dev’s corner shop.
Faye is accompanied by her only confidante
Craig, having kept her entire family in the dark
throughout her pregnancy.
Debbie Rush recently said that her on-screen daughter remains in denial for quite a while.
She
said: "Faye doesn't choose the name for a while because she's in
denial. But Anna, being the type of mother
she is, desperately wants Faye to bond with the baby."
