The veteran actress was confirmed today to appear in two episodes of the Weatherfield soap.
Whitfield told Holyscoop that she is nervous about the prospect of keeping pace with such a fast-paced show.
Of her new workmates, she said: "I admire them all. I think they have an amazing schedule and I don't know how they do it. I only hope I don't let them down!"
The 84-year-old, who will start filming on Tuesday, added that she is not hoping for a longer stay on the Street, saying: "I couldn't stand the pace!"
