The 31-year-old actress' alter-ego Kate Connor was a blubbing mess in last night's (20.03.19) 'Corrie' double header when her fiancée Rana Habeeb (Bhavna Limbachia) was tragically killed off after being crushed by the collapsed Underworld factory roof - and Faye has warned viewers to expect more tears.
She said: "All the aftermath has made me sob. Having to continue life without her and all things I [Kate] wish I could have said and all the things I want to say.
"I'm going to miss that face."
Bhavna added: "I'm going to miss everyone, it's quite emotional."
The 34-year-old star praised the crew who worked on the dramatic scenes, admitting their huge effort ensured there was "not much stress on set" for the actors.
She said: "The attention to detail is insane. They've spent so much time and effort putting this together.
"Everything has been so well thought out so there is not much stress on set when it comes to the technicalities, so we can just concentrate."
Faye also praised her co-star Bhavna - who was required to lie down covered in dust and debris on the factory floor for her last two episodes - for her portrayal, and admits she feels "really privileged" to have been a part of the big factory roof collapse plot.
Speaking in a joint video on the 'Corrie' Twitter account, she added: "Everyone has so much respect for what Bhavna had to do as well, because she's kind of playing the victim so it's all playing around her.
"I just feel really privileged to be a part of this storyline."
