Coronation Street spoilers: Toyah Battersby’s sensational cobbles return revealed as Georgia Taylor reprises role
She was last seen on the cobbles in 2003 but now Toyah Battersby is back and here's the first look
A LONG awaited Coronation Street return is happening and here is the first look at Toyah Battersby's re-arrival on the cobbles.
The Weatherfield favourite - who is played by actress Georgia Taylor - hasn't been seen in Weatherfield since 2003 but fans have long wanted her to make a return and now their wish has been granted.
In a spoiler picture revealed by The Sun, Toyah returns to be reunited with her step-sister Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) for a nice brew.
Toyah, played by Georgia Taylor, left the Street in 2003 after starting an affair with her university tutor only for him to cheat on her with Maria Connor.
Pregnant Leanne is delighted to see her sister, who arrives in tears with her nursing a broken heart and hiding a big secret but she won’t be the only problem on Leanne’s overfilled plate.
Not only is she struggling to keep schtum about Steve McDonald being the real father of her unborn baby, but fiancé Nick’s brain injury is making him increasingly volatile.
As Nick’s paranoia about former love rival Peter Barlow spirals out of control the pair start brawling – in scenes reminiscent of the legendary fights between Peter’s dad Ken and his arch-nemesis Mike Baldwin.
And as usual, young Simon Barlow sees something he shouldn’t but with Toyah back, the sisters will be able to take on anything.
Speaking ahead of her return, Georgia said: "I am thrilled to be rejoining my old friends on the cobbles. Coronation Street has always had a place in my heart and I'm delighted to be working again with my good friend Jane Danson and bringing the Battersby sisters back together.
