Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) shared a forbidden kiss with her sister\u2019s partner Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) in tonight\u2019s Coronation Street<\/a> (10th June 2024).<\/p>\n

After being arrested over the unlawful burial of her stillborn baby girl Rose<\/a>, Toyah confided in Nick how much it upset her that Rose had been disturbed after so many years. Nick spoke to his sister Sarah Platt (Tina O\u2019Brien), quietly informing her of the details of Toyah\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Sarah herself has experienced baby loss more than once, and she visited a grateful Toyah, offering her support and comfort. In the Bistro, Toyah thanked Nick for his kindness, but the lighter mood was broken when she received a delivery of yellow roses \u2013 the same flower she had left for Rose.<\/p>\n

Toyah was convinced that Institute lackey Rowan Cunliffe (Emrhys Cooper)<\/a> had sent them, and that he was behind her arrest. She and Nick confronted her sister Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson), who admitted that she had<\/em> told Rowan about baby Rose in confidence.<\/p>\n

Toyah was furious as Leanne insisted that she believed Rowan when he claimed not to have told the police, while Nick pointed out that Leanne\u2019s obsession with the Institute was unhealthy and would be the death of their relationship.<\/p>\n

Nick accused Leanne of cheating with Rowan, but when Leanne made it clear she only loved Nick, he gave her an ultimatum to cut contact with the Institute, or they would be over for good.<\/p>

In the Bistro, Toyah, Nick and Sarah spoke about Leanne, with Nick certain that Leanne would choose him. But he was shocked when Leanne later cited that his negativity was suffocating, and she decided to leave for a while to get some space \u2013 heading off to stay with Rowan.<\/p>\n

Outside, it was clear that Leanne was torn over leaving, but she went ahead with the plan thanks to Rowan\u2019s persuasion. Nick watched on sadly from the window, before he and Toyah had a heart-to-heart as they went over the events of the day.<\/p>\n

Toyah noted that she and Nick had been brought closer together, after years of her hating him. Soon, the pair kissed, but were interrupted by Nick\u2019s son Sam Blakeman (Jude Riordan) arriving home!<\/p>\n

Speaking about what drove Toyah to cross the line, actress Taylor explained: \u201cIt\u2019s really confusing for Toyah, Nick is to all intents and purposes her brother in law and they haven\u2019t always got on, so it\u2019s not like she\u2019s been harbouring some secret attraction.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo this has hit her out of the blue, they\u2019ve both been there for each other these last few weeks when life has been really tough and those feelings are starting to get a little bit blurred.<\/p>\n

\u201cToyah loves her sister but every time she feels guilty for leaning on Nick, Leanne does something to push her away again. It\u2019s difficult when you\u2019re angry at someone, but you also feel guilty for something you\u2019ve done to them. It\u2019s very conflicting for Toyah.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will Toyah and Nick regret their moment of madness, or are they set for a full-on affair behind Leanne\u2019s back?<\/p>\n
