Coronation Street‘s Toyah Habeeb unexpectedly jumps to the defence of her sister Leanne Battersby

later this month.

Toyah shows some surprising compassion as Leanne faces major consequences over her fraudulent plan.

Viewers know that Leanne is out for revenge after discovering that Toyah is still seeing Nick Tilsley behind her back.

Determined not to be walked all over, Leanne recently stole Toyah’s passport to set up a bank account in her name. She then started transferring money from the Bistro business account to Toyah’s fake one.

Show bosses have already confirmed that Toyah will be arrested in the run-up to Christmas, with Leanne also trying to implicate Nick in the crime by spreading suspicion that they were both in it together.

A suspicious Nick quickly responds by searching for evidence that Leanne is setting them both up.

In scenes airing towards the end of the month, Nick’s efforts seem to have been successful as Leanne faces the serious consequences of her risky revenge.

Dee-Dee Bailey steps in to represent Leanne when she is confronted with some tough questions over what she did.

Toyah is shocked when Dee-Dee tells her that Leanne could face a custodial sentence over her actions.

Adamant that this can’t happen, Toyah begs Nick to drop the charges against her sister.

Will Nick comply with Toyah’s request? And does Leanne even regret her behaviour?

Coronation Street airs these scenes on Monday, December 30 on ITV1 and ITVX. You can also check out our full collection of 27 spoiler pictures from this week of episodes.
