Toyah Battersby has made a major life decision following the discovery of her and Nick’s
affair in Coronation Street.
Earlier this week, Leanne found out that The Institute leader Rowan was keeping a secret file on Nick
and Toyah after one of his henchmen caught them kissing a few months ago.
After Nick confessed he was in love with Toyah, Leanne lashed out by slapping her sister and ordering her to stay away.
Leanne was determined to embarrass her cheating partner and sister during Friday’s (September 6) episode.
She summoned Nick to the Bistro where she’d put up a large dust sheet over one of the walls. Nick was horrified as Leanne dropped the sheet to reveal dozens of photos of him kissing Toyah.
Brian Packham and Rita Tanner were among the diners shocked to see up-close evidence of Nick and Toyah’s affair. Nick quickly ushered all of the customers out of the restaurant in embarrassment.
David Platt, who was also there, urged Leanne and Nick not to be petty, telling them: “Stuff happens but it’s how you deal with it that matters.”
Toyah then begged her sister to let her explain herself, but Leanne sacked her from the Bistro and ordered her to go.
Later, Nick discovered that Leanne had changed the locks at their flat. During a heated row, Nick took “full responsibility” for his affair and offered to let her keep their home.
The pair ultimately agreed they needed to tell Sam they were splitting up. Nick confessed to the boy that he’d developed feelings for Toyah and they were in love, making it all the more painful for Leanne.

Nick promised Sam he could live with Leanne until they found somewhere permanent. Leanne rushed to hug Sam, though she was still unsure how it would all work out.
Toyah remained devastated by this breakdown of her relationship with her sister, so she decided it would be best for her to pack up and leave Weatherfield.
Leanne prevented her sister from moving away, telling her: “I hate your guts, but you’re going nowhere. I don’t want you to.”
On the cobbles, Nick couldn’t believe it when Toyah admitted she was reluctant to get together with him.
“I can’t do this, I’m sorry… I can’t do any of it,” Toyah insisted.
While Toyah admitted she loved Nick, she insisted: “I love Leanne more and I can’t do this to her. I’m sorry…”
Nick was left heartbroken as Toyah walked away, having ruled out a relationship with him.
