Haven't heard anything about this character for ages, is she still returning? Does anyone know if they have cast the role yet? Thanks in advance

I swear this character was confirmed back at the start of the year. I wonder if she has been delayed.

It was confirmed at the start of the year and in the same interview Iain said he had no plans to bring in Rebecca White as he didn't think she had a place in the village...fast forward 10 months and we are about to meet Rebecca and there is still no sign of Faith ever being cast

Maybe they are looking for a name actress to take the role instead of just anyone. They could be trying to out do Hollyoaks with them bringing in Linda Grey, although that'd be pretty hard to do.

I think it would be pretty easy to out do HO on that front with the wealth of talent in the UK.

Linda Grey played Sue Ellen Ewing on Dallas and is going to be playing Marnie's mom on Hollyoaks

Didn't watch Dallas or any of the American soaps and have never watched Hollyoaks. I'll go now, sorry, I thought this was an Emmerdale thread.

Naw, I'm cool with her on Hollyoaks. Maybe Michele Lee or Joan Van Ark as Faith Dingle

They were supposed to bring in Nana Barton too at one stage but it never materialised after all she has lost a son and grand-daughter and has other family in the village being James and his sons and of course Moira and Emma - her daughter-in-laws.

I read too that they were going to introduce Faith Dingle - Cain and Chas mum at the start of the year but that was it. Just presumed they were trying to find a fitting character to play her. Could they not persuade the previous actress who played her to come back

This report said we'll have to wait until later this year, was announced 7 months ago, although it also reported about Lisa splitting from husband Jack!!

https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/tv...-chaotic-mess/

It comes as Lisa Dingle has left husband Jack after discovering he had been
cheating.

This report from August states it is still happening, but she hasn't been cast yet, as well as Debbie returning:

Still nothing. Bizzare that its almost a year since this was announced!! (albeit unofficially) I thought she would've returned in time for Christmas, but it's not looking likely - no mention of her in spoilers etc.

I wonder if her introduction was postponed because of Lucy Pargeter's pregnancy.

Have they even recast the role yet? Don't remember seeing any announcement. I wonder what's taking so long.

Means nothing, anyone with a computer and the internet can edit wikipedia pages, nothing on it is official.

Yes, the actress who played her last time around recently tweeted about auditioning for the role again but not getting the part.

Maybe Lucy Pargeter's pregnancy has caused them to re-work what they had planned, leading to delays. I can't think Chas leaving was the plan back at the start of the year when they had the idea to bring Faith in. I think Chas will maybe not want to be around her mum and leave for a bit to get away from her, after much drama of course.

I originally thought maybe they were waiting for Debbie, Sarah and Jack to return to introduce Faith as I do remember her wanting to get to know her in 2004 but Cain refused:

I know someone who went up for the part of Faith about a month ago, so I'm pretty sure it's been cast now. She didn't get it, so they must've told whoever did.

I didn't see that - thanks. You might be right that she will play a role in Chas's exit.

I know someone who went up for the part of Faith about a month ago, so I'm pretty sure it's been cast now. She didn't get it, so they must've told whoever did.
So if she's finally been cast I imagine her arrival can't be too far off then.
