Casualty spoilers follow.

Casualty's Kirsty Mitchell has teased a new romance for her character Faith Cadogan after the tragic death of her husband Lev.

According to Mitchell, the soap will explore what is going on inside Faith's head after she's spent a year covering up her emotions – and there may even be a love story on the horizon.

"Things get personal for Faith! We're going to take a dive into what's really going on in her head and we see what's affected her through the last year, where she is emotionally, and what she's been covering up. And there may even be some romance for Faith too," the actress told Inside Soap.

"I've loved the relationship between Faith and Stevie. I think it's important to have that friendship between two very strong females," she said of their bond.

"They're both very independent and different – like chalk and cheese. I love working with Ellie [Lawless, who plays Stevie] too, she's very funny and we have a laugh together."

When quizzed on what she loves about playing Faith, Mitchell said: "What I love about her is that Faith's very gentle, sweet, and together, but she's fierce. It's been great to explore Faith more and slowly reveal her imperfection. Faith's also very protective of her children because of everything they've been through."

In recent episodes Faith's daughter Natalia's life was spared by Ollie Hide during the school shooting.

Natalia's on-screen mum told the publication that she loves working with the actors that play her children and that Zoe Brough, who plays Natalia, is "one to watch out for".

Casualty airs on Saturdays on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
