Coronation Street's Toyah Battersby (played by Georgia Taylor) receives two calls that leave her reeling next week.

Toyah has been hounding The Institute for weeks, worried for her sister Leanne's (Jane Danson) involvement with the cult and its leader Rowan Cunliffe (Emrhys Cooper). She discovers she is being sued by the company for defamation.

In upcoming scenes, Toyah is horrified to get a delivery of yellow roses and tells Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) that it had to be Rowan who reported her to the police.

Viewers of the ITV soap will know that Toyah previously purchased a single yellow rose to lay on the grave of her baby girl, who she buried in the park after giving birth aged 19.

Toyah fell pregnant after she was raped by Phil Simmonds and gave birth to a premature baby who was tragically stillborn in 2001.

A furious Toyah confronts Leanne with the roses and shows her the card. When Leanne admits she told Rowan, Nick returns home and spells out to Leanne that either she cuts all ties with Rowan and The Institute or they’re finished. What will she do?

When Leanne returns, a guilty Nick quizzes her about Rowan. An angry Leanne insists she would never cheat on him.

Meanwhile, Nick and Toyah agree their kiss was a mistake. Rowan calls at the bistro on his motorbike and hands a spare helmet to Leanne, telling her he’s got a surprise for her.

Leanne follows him out, leaving Nick and Toyah to cope with the lunchtime rush on their own. Nick’s fuming whilst Toyah is shocked by her sister's actions.

At a hotel restaurant, Rowan introduces Leanne to Willow the CEO of The Institute over video call. He then tells a flattered Leanne that she will soon be able to recruit new members herself.

As Toyah sets off for her Institute court case, she receives a call which shocks her. She hurries into A&E and tells the nurse on the desk that she had a call to inform her that her sister, Leanne, has been involved in a motorbike accident.

But is everything as it seems?

Meanwhile, the police inform Toyah that they can now release her baby for burial, leaving her stunned.
