She tells the magazine: “She already knows there is something weird about Kayla.
“But she will not be expecting Kayla to be Neil’s daughter and I don’t think she is going to handle that very well because it is going to bring all the horrible memories that she has back.”
The actress, 22, also revealed the surprising news that she doesn’t want her character Bethany to be happy!
She added: “Everyone expects me to say that I want her to have happy storylines but I don’t, because the happy storylines aren’t as challenging to play.”
Bethany was groomed by salon owner Nathan Curtis, who then tricked her into being raped by the members of a paedophile ring – one of which was corrupt policeman Neil.
Neil is now serving time for abusing Bethany, and Kayla is acting as his ‘spy’ on the Street.
Kayla has been led to believe that her dad is a victim and was set up.
Meanwhile, Lucy believes Bethany and Craig are “better as friends” than in a romantic relationship.
