Toyah reveals a shocking truth.<\/span><\/figcaption> ITV<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

When Roy and Evelyn Plummer\u2019s (Maureen Lipman) dog Freddie goes missing, Toyah joins the search party, heading to the park.<\/p>\n

There, she comes across two sleuths digging up a rose bed, and they tell Toyah they saw the dog digging in the same spot \u2013 and they believe this is where missing Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton) could be buried.<\/p>\n

Toyah sees red and picks up a shovel, using it to smash their car window while one of the sleuths films her on his phone. Nick arrives and persuades Toyah to back down, and she bursts into tears.<\/p>\n

At home, Toyah has a go at Nick\u2019s upset son Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) for losing Freddie in the first place, but soon the police call in looking for Toyah.<\/p>\n

She later calls at the flower shop to buy a single yellow rose. When Joel asks who it\u2019s for, Toyah says it\u2019s for Leanne.<\/p>\n

Leanne is bemused when Joel mentions this to her the next day, while Toyah makes out she binned the rose. Nick desperately tries to keep the peace between Leanne and Toyah, and Toyah insists she was right to defend Roy\u2019s reputation and stop the sleuths from desecrating such a special place.<\/p>\n

Nick is puzzled by her choice of words, and later, he finds Toyah in tears while she admits that when she was 19, she gave birth to a stillborn baby girl, kept it a secret and buried her in that same spot in the park.<\/p>\n

Taking a deep breath, Toyah tells Nick that the baby\u2019s father was her rapist, Phil Simmonds (Jack Deam).<\/p>\n

Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) is oblivious to the tension as he arrives home and explains the police are digging up North Cross Park, and Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) says they\u2019ve found a body.<\/p>\n

Will Toyah face consequences for her decision all those years ago? As the week continues, Toyah helps Nick in the Bistro, but what does the future hold for her?<\/p>\n
