Toyah Battersby actress Georgia Taylor has teased her character's response to fiancé Imran Habeeb's baby secret.
In next week's Corrie, Abi Webster's husband Kevin will make a huge discovery pertaining to little Alfie's birth certificate: Imran is named as his father, which'll snowball and eventually send shockwaves across the Weatherfield cobbles.
Ahead of this revelation landing on Toyah's lap, Taylor explained how she'll take the news.

"It is the ultimate betrayal and for Toyah it is the most heartbreaking thing that could happen to her," she said.
"And you know, nobody likes to be cheated on for a one night stand. It is not going to make you feel great about yourself whoever you are, but the fact that this has resulted in the one thing that she can't give him, that's going to hurt on a whole other level.
"Also, there's the fact you have these two very different women. You have a woman who has given birth to her fourth child and it is the only child she has left and who has given up two children to be adopted, which is something that Toyah would never do. And then you have Toyah who obviously can't have children and is desperate to be a mum.
"So there's going to be a huge conflict between them based on that as well."

Despite the impending animosity, could Toyah maybe feel pity towards Abi?
"Toyah is going to have a huge conflict with her own conscience about thinking those things, because fundamentally this is a woman who is damaged and an addict and who she would have helped in a previous life and has been helping.
"To suddenly be faced with the fact that she has this child with Imran will be a huge internal conflict for Toyah because the compassionate side of her would want to sympathise with Abi, and understand the predicament she's found herself in," Taylor commented.
Meanwhile, the Corrie veteran (her first appearance as Toyah was in 1997) did go on to admit that this storyline "could go in so many different" directions.
"She will have to make amends with the fact that the child will always be Imran's biologically but will never be hers. And so there's that to contend with and she will always feel the odd one out, which I think is something really interesting to explore in terms of blended families.
"It's a very modern predicament that people find themselves in where a child is blood related to one parent and not to another," she added.
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV and streams on the ITV Hub.
