Faye Brookes has hinted things will take a turn for the worst for Kana when Kate Connor goes behind her fiancee Rana Nazir’s back in her bid to have a baby.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star plays lesbian lover Kate who is loved-up with Rana (Bhavna Limbachia) – dubbed Kana by soap super-fans – on the ITV show, and now the telly actress has revealed she will call on Robert Preston (Tristan Gemmill) to help make her dreams of becoming a mother come true, but won’t tell Rana.
Kate said: "I think it just puts a spanner in the works for Kate. She is really determined. If it can’t be a stranger, she thinks well let’s search elsewhere, maybe it doesn’t have to be far from home.
"Kate has so many options spinning around her head, whilst at work she thinks adoption could be another option. Whilst Rana is at work Kate storms into the medical centre and drops this bombshell that they’ll adopt.
"Everything Kate says is all to do with babies. Kate’s gone crazy over this baby idea, she feels the need to fill the void.
"Robert lets his guard down with Kate and he confides in her that he’s always wanted to be a Dad. That’s when the penny drops for Kate and she thinks Robert could be the answer to everything.
"So, with some dutch courage she asks Robert to father her and Rana’s child."
Robert was previously told by his partner Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh) that she didn’t want to have any more children and crushed his dreams of becoming a father.
However, Kate’s drunken proposition to Robert has meant that the duo will both end up "happy", even if Rana isn’t told "anything".
Kate added: "I don’t think it’s going to be good, but Kate doesn’t want to tell Rana anything. She wants to figure it all out until it’s a perfect plan.
"Everything is going to be sorted out, a contract drawn up, Robert signing that contract, knowing that everyone is going to be happy. Kate wants this perfect plan and then she’ll be happy, but who knows if that’s going to happen.
"Kate will go the whole way with no turning back. I think throughout this whole process she is seeing something that is going to make her happy and I don’t think she realises that Rana is what will make her happy.
"She becomes blinded by this baby idea and this infatuation with filling that void and that is everything to her. Kate will stop at no costs."
