First off, Owen Armstrong's ex-wife will arrive on the Street.
Stuart says: "The picture that's already been painted of her by Owen is that she was too young, and couldn't cope with Izzy's disability. But that turns out not to be the whole truth, and the woman has genuine regrets about what has happened - the biggest one being leaving Owen!
"Her arrival is going to be a real challenge for Anna and the Armstrongs and it will give Katy some big choices to make. We are casting that role in the next few weeks."
Stuart also says that a couple of old favourite characters will return. "We have a couple of returning favourites on the cards."
