Foote admitted that she hated the fake baby bump she was given when her character Katy was pregnant, telling The Sun: "I'm dreading it - I hated my baby bump last time. The pins stick in your sides and it's so heavy."
Alluding to recent speculation that Katy will become pregnant again, she added: "I never thought for a minute I'd be wearing it again so soon."
Foote also explained that her character's boyfriend Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) will not be happy with the surrogacy idea, explaining that "he is upset she didn't talk to him about it first".
She added that Katy "just wants to help" Izzy after she lost the child she was expecting with Gary, but hasn't "thought through the implications" of surrogacy.
a month after miscarriage, tried to adopt, asked if it was a problem that the father-to-be has a conviction, assaulting a policeman, and had post-traumatic syndrome. So same day, start discussing sister with newborn having their baby. Go and see their doctor - no internet research, no awareness of any of it.
Storyline just annoying but Izzy character's acting is just dire. She is so so so out of her depth with this SL.
Make it stop!!!

Because she is just a child herself, with a baby she can hardly manage as it is and hasn't even consulted Chesney.

Sbjkelly, Ken Barlow being abducted by aliens would make a far more watchable storyline than this rubbish, should tell ITV your idea!

If Ken is abducted by aliens, I hope they hang on to him.

It's ridiculous because Katy is just an child. Owen is, for once, justified in going ballistic.

I think this is a little selfish of Izzy to agree to. Katy isn't 18 yet...
