This week, the soap opera delivered a shocking twist as Toyah Battersby’s unexpected pregnancy led to a startling revelation about her baby’s father. After enduring severe stomach cramps, Toyah, played by Georgia Taylor, was rushed to the hospital by Nick Tilsley. There, she discovered she was pregnant, which came as a huge surprise, especially given her recent affair with Nick, who is her future brother-in-law.

In the hospital, Toyah initially downplayed the situation, suggesting the baby was the result of a fleeting encounter with an unidentified man. However, she eventually confided in Nick that he is the father. This revelation comes amid mounting fears that darker secrets might be at play.

Earlier this year, Toyah’s past was marred by trauma. It was revealed that she had a baby at 19 following a rape, but tragically, the child did not survive. Toyah had buried her daughter, Rose, in a remote area known as the Red Wreck. Compounding the drama, the leader of a sinister cult, Rowan Cliff, who is linked to Toyah’s sister Leanne, has been pursuing her. On the day of Rose’s funeral, Toyah and Nick had a brief affair after being sued by him, which now complicates her current situation.

Adding to the intrigue, Rowan has been blackmailing Nick and Toyah by taking compromising photos of them together. The storyline takes another twist as fans speculate that something even more sinister may have occurred offscreen, possibly involving Rowan and his cult.

One theory circulating on social media, including X (formerly Twitter), is that Rowan’s cult, known for its unsettling practices, might have used some form of artificial insemination to impregnate Toyah. Another fan questioned if Rowan himself could be the father due to the cult’s notorious abuse of technology. This has led to speculation that Rowan’s involvement might stir up jealousy in Leanne, especially if Toyah is indeed carrying Rowan’s child rather than Nick’s.

In addition to Toyah’s dramatic storyline, viewers are still reeling from the recent return of Lauren Bolton. Thought to be dead, Lauren made a dramatic comeback after being revealed as a victim of Joel Dearing, who was previously thought to have killed her. Lauren’s reappearance was marked by an unexpected announcement of her pregnancy with Joel’s child, which he has disavowed. This new development has left fans questioning the believability of her storyline, as many wonder how she managed to avoid detection during her time on the run.

The inconsistencies in Lauren’s story have prompted viewers to voice their frustrations online, questioning how someone in her condition could evade capture while being the subject of an extensive manhunt.

On a related note, Coronation Street will not be participating in the Manchester Pride Parade this year for the first time in a decade. This decision, attributed to ITV’s cost-cutting measures, means the show will not have a formal float, though some cast members will attend in a personal capacity. Despite this, ITV remains committed to supporting LGBTQ+ representation, with ongoing initiatives and personal appearances by cast members at various events.
