Georgia Taylor says \u201cit\u2019s a very grey area\u201d when it comes to her Coronation Street<\/a> alter ego Toyah Habeeb\u2019s guilt over her ongoing murder charge.<\/p>\n

In June, Toyah\u2019s husband Imran Habeeb (Charlie de Melo) was killed following a car crash<\/a> when Toyah was at the wheel. Flashbacks revealed that Toyah drove the car into a wall after Imran confessed his lies over winning custody of his baby son Alfie, who he fathered with Abi Webster<\/a> (Sally Carman).<\/p>\n

Faced with losing the family unit she always wanted, Toyah was furious with Imran at the time. But as she lost consciousness after the crash, Imran managed to save her life before collapsing from a heart attack, dying at the scene. In hospital, Toyah was broken by his death but maintained her innocence to the police, lying that she couldn\u2019t remember what had happened<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since then, Toyah has been charged with Imran\u2019s murder<\/a> based on all the evidence. And speaking about the storyline, star Taylor is asked if she thinks her character is guilty.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a very grey area,\u201d she reveals, saying that Toyah feels the weight of what she\u2019s done, whatever the truth is. \u201cHer guilt is huge; whether she is guilty of murder or not, she was at the wheel of that car. So she feels responsible for his death and the fact that Alfie is going to spend the rest of his life growing up without his dad. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s heartbreaking; it\u2019s a huge, huge burden for her to carry.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

In upcoming scenes, Toyah discovers that Imran had previously arranged to open a savings account for baby Alfie. This only brings Toyah\u2019s grief bubbling back up to the surface, as Taylor points out.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt brings everything flooding back. Whatever she is guilty of, or not guilty of, Alfie has been left without a dad and she\u2019s been left without the man and the family unit she dreamed of for so long. It\u2019s still very raw.<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n

Discussing Toyah\u2019s current state of mind, the actress tells us that fear is very much at play as she awaits her trial. \u201cShe is scared, she\u2019s lonely, she is still grieving losing the man she loved and that chance of being a mum and being a family. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t even imagine on top of that having to face a murder trial \u2013 her emotions are all over the place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Toyah soon ends up turning back to ex-boyfriend Spider Nugent<\/a> (Martin Hancock), and passion follows. With so many people around her turning against her, and her stepsister Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) juggling other priorities, is Toyah glad to have Spider around?<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s definitely grateful for the distraction he brings and the kindness,\u201d Taylor explains. \u201cShe is really lonely, she\u2019s got her sister but she also understands that Leanne\u2019s got a business and a step-son and other things to be getting on with. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe doesn\u2019t really have a lot of friends, people like Alya have very much turned against her and she\u2019s getting all this vitriol from Saira, Imran\u2019s mum. It\u2019s a bit of kindness when you\u2019re feeling vulnerable and she latches on to that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to tune in to find out what happens next for Toyah, but it\u2019s safe to say her fate is hanging firmly in the balance!<\/p>\n
