Coronation Street’s Georgia Taylor drops major hint at Toyah Battersby’s shock affair with Nick Tilsley
As Leanne gets drawn further and further into the Institute, her family resort to other matters
CORONATION Street actress Georgia Taylor has dropped a major hint at Toyah Battersby’s shock affair with Nick Tilsley.
The actress has played the role since the age of 17-years-old but this could just be her most scandalous ITV storyline yet!
In Coronation Street, Rowan Cunliffe (Emrhys Cooper) is drawing Toyah’s sister Leanne (Jane Danson) closer and closer to his self-improvement institute.
As a result, she is becoming more and more distant from her entire family, including her fiance Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).
Toyah is determined to bring down the cult leader, whilst mourning the loss of the stillborn baby, and as a result she soon finds solace in Nick.
Georgia has now opened up about the changing relationship dynamics within the family as she hints it could lead to disaster.
“Leanne’s becoming very emotionally disconnected from both Toyah and Nick in a way that feels quite out of character because even though Leanne’s a very tough woman she’s loyal and she does love her sister,” Georgia explained.
“So when she starts pushing her away, there are definitely alarm bells ringing.
“Certainly what we’re seeing is that Leanne pushing Toyah away and Nick away is potentially damaging both her relationships.”
However, this gives the space for Toyah and Nick to get closer, as they both attempt to bring Rowan down.
Sahe explained: “They’ve found something in common here. What they have in common is that they both love Leanne, they’re seeing a change in her and they feel like they’re losing her.
“That’s inadvertently pushing Toyah and Nick together to take Rowan on.”
But the actress also admits that recent storylines have meant the characters have become closer, despite a previous frosty relationship.
“I also think how emotionally available Nick was for Toyah when he found out about Rose, perhaps shifted how she views him a little bit and made her look at him in a different way,” she admitted.
The star also revealed that as Nick and Toyah become closer together, the relationship between the sisters is going to become even more strained.
“We did a huge argument scene a few weeks ago and we were both physically shaking afterwards, I could feel my heart beating out my chest,” Georgia revealed.
She added: “I think it’s really difficult because Leanne’s always been her biggest ally and her biggest support.
“They’ve seen each other through so many difficult times, so many relationships and however many times they’ve been married or divorced or cheated on what’s remained consistent is their sisterly bond.”
