Meet Coronation Street 's latest fresh-faced cast members who are all fighting for the same role . Erin , Eilah and Elsie , are triplets who all play 13-year-old Faye Windass 's baby girl Miley , taking it in turns in front of the camera . They were chosen after the soap put out a call to casting agents and put up posters in hospital maternity units in the region asking for identical twin girls to play the newborn . Scroll down for video . Triplets Erin , Eliah and Elsie have joined Coronation Street as the youngest cast members taking it in turns to play the daughter of Faye Windass . Pictured here with father Martyn Halliwell and mother Laura Slinger . The five-month-old triplets were selected after parents Martyn Halliwell and Laura Slinger , from Padiham , near Burnley , put them forward after hearing that triplets are often in high demand in television . Martyn said : 'My cousin , who is a theatre actor , suggested that we should get in touch with an agent . He said `` there is a high demand for twins , let alone triplets '' . 'We sent some photos over and within two hours we heard back to say they had a client who was interested . On the Monday we were at Coronation Street . ' Martyn , 29 , a sales manager , and Laura , 26 , a beautician , are delighted at how well the girls , born on October 27 , have taken to being on the soap . And the family has received a warm welcome from all the cast and crew - particularly from Ellie Leach , who plays teen mum Faye in the controversial storyline , and her mum Anna , played by Debbie Rush . Martyn says that despite only being a few months old his baby daughters are already developing quite a talent when it comes to being on screen . The triplets are swapped each scene while playing the daughter of Faye in the controversial story line that saw the Corrie character give birth at just 13-years-old . 'Everybody is shocked at how good they are , ' he said . 'One of the triplets cries on cue , so when they need a crying baby we take Elsie down for filming . When they need a calm baby we take Erin . 'Everybody wants to look at the girls and they make a fuss of them , especially Debbie and Ellie . Ellie has been fantastic with the girls . ' The triplets , who have a six-year-old brother Maddox , were born ten weeks early at Liverpool Women 's Hospital . Erin arrived first at 5pm weighing 2lb 2oz , followed by Eilah at 5.01pm weighing in at 3lb 1oz and Elsie , a minute later weighing 2lb . Martyn added that he hopes that their early start on show might have given them the acting bug . 'Hopefully they will stay on the show if they are enjoying it . ' I have grown up watching Coronation Street and so has Laura . They have made us at home and comfortable and everybody is one big family . ' The triplets will make their first appearance on Good Friday when a shocked Faye goes into premature labour .
Five-month-old triplets take it in turns to play Miley Windass in the soap . The show is based on a book by author and actress Melissa Joan Hart about her own experience with twins who were born prematurely at just three weeks old.
