Recently, Georgia Taylor opened up about the dramatic storyline, the shocking affair, and the intense backlash from viewers. Will Toyah’s journey bring more explosive revelations? Read on to find out!
Is Toyah Battersby Really Pregnant?
Very recently, Toyah Battersby, played by Georgia Taylor, received devastating news from doctors. Earlier, she was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at home, where she learned she was apparently pregnant with Nick Tilsley’s child. However, later, a scan revealed a false positive due to a growth on her ovary, which might be cancerous.
Meanwhile, Leanne continued getting involved with the cult—all thanks to Rowan’s manipulation. In an emotional scene, Toyah and Nick confront their feelings and disappointment alone. Later, Nick confided in his brother David Platt about his doubts regarding his love for Leanne. Could this health crisis turn Nick and Toyah’s affair into love?
Toyah has always been crucial to Weatherfield. However, the drama she experienced this year cannot be compared to the past 27 years combined. Along with Toyah and Nick’s affair, it was revealed that she buried her stillborn daughter in a park back in 2001. But the storyline upset fans, accusing the show of changing its history.
Georgia recently expressed her surprise at the strong reaction to the plot. She explained that the team and researchers had meticulously reviewed the old episodes and believed they found a way to make the story believable. Georgia felt it was her responsibility to portray the storyline convincingly.
Nick & Toyah Set For A ‘Love Story’
In past episodes, the cult leader, Rowan Cunliffe, has retaliated against Toyah for interfering in his sinister The Institute. He called the police and even paid for baby Rose’s funeral. Meanwhile, Leanne and Nick’s relationship turns sour due to Leanne’s involvement in the cult.
A heartbroken Nick turned to Toyah for comfort, and they shared a kiss and spent the night together. Unfortunately, one of the cult’s followers secretly took a photo of them, and later, Rowan blackmailed Toyah to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The soap star revealed that the executive producer had described it as a love story to the stars.
She highlighted that it was not just a quick fling but rather a deep emotional connection. According to her, this bond began when Nick was the first person Toyah confided in about Rose. He showed gentleness and understanding that Leanne perhaps did not. Georgia noted that this allowed Toyah to see Nick’s different side.
She mentioned that Nick being with her sister is a classic soap storyline. She loved watching Sharon with the Mitchell brothers in EastEnders and believes that making it an affair within a family makes it more interesting. She teased, “There’s going to be a lot of drama in the upcoming weeks and months.”
The actress even speculated that Leanne would likely find out eventually because it’s a soap. How will she react?
