Kym Marsh's character Michelle will row with Steve's (Simon Gregson) mother Liz (Beverley Callard) over how best Steve should be treated, following his revelation that he's suffering from clinical depression.

Kym said to Radio Times magazine of the story: "They both obviously want to help Steve, but because both of them are so worried about him and love him so much, they both want to help him in their own way.

"Understandably, they clash as they're both so concerned about him and want to help him. They both have different approaches with Steve - Liz is more of the tough love approach and tries to get Steve up and doing things, whereas Michelle is much more trying the softly softly approach."

The on-screen duo split briefly before the minibus crash lash week as she thought he'd fallen out of love with her because of his strange behaviour.

Now though, Kym thinks their relationship could become better than ever.

She added: "Michelle is under no illusions as to how long the road is ahead of them, but she'd do everything in her power to help him and she'd stand by him through thick and thin. She's glad that he's let her in and she's going to be with him every step of the way ... Steve and Michelle are meant to be together and I think they will find happiness again."
