Great news!
I know they need a bigger cast for the extra episode, but hope they cut some of the characters that have stagnated

yes bring back old characters i think not corries going backwards think bringing back certain cast members will be damaging to the soap

To be fair. Given that Toyah seemingly moved from London to Liverpool and couldn't even be arsed to visit her sister it makes you wonder what her relationship wth Leanne and to an extent Eva will be like.

Didnt Leanne mention about a restaurant whebn she was going to toyahs to live the other week. Is that what toyah is doing now too? Maybe she will work in thr bistro to cover leannes maternity or even maybe in nicks new one

why is everybody doing somersaults at the news she`s coming back don`t think it`ll work how long will georgina stay, don`t agree with any character coming back in any soap,gives the message out that the actor/ress is desperate for work

The cast is too big as it is, with many underdeveloped characters going around in circles.

I hope they do have a cast cull to finally clear out some deadwood - pref. those who've been stinking up the place for years like Sean, Michelle and Fiz.

It doesn't matter who you bring back, they'll only be diluted by the awfulness of that lot.

This should be interesting to have her back.

Before Kate Oates started I had posted that Toyah would return and it would be a rip off of the Donna/Ross story on Emmerdale. I wonder if that will really happen now.

I was thinking, did she leave to be a doctor, then I realised why.

I thinking this is exciting news

Poor old Les, I think he was a misunderstood character who had something of a cult following. A lovable rogue who was either happy go lucky or on the verge of a mental breakdown

I think she first went to help Spider with his "juice bar" in That London, but I could be wrong...

Brilliant news! I can't wait to see Toyah again

Really looking forward to seeing her interact with Leanne, Eva and Maria.

Fingers crossed that Kate Oates never considers bringing back Les Battersby

I didn't mind Toyah, though.

Who will Toyah Sleep with first

I can see her not getting on with Eva. Be good if she's still pals with Fiz and Maria.

I could have seen her & Maria building bridges & becoming friends again quite quickly before, but not sure now when it all comes out about Maria & Aidan's 'liaison!!'
Depends how she gets on with Eva I guess!!

Great news. Really looking forward to seeing her again.

I would also like to see Les back as well as Janice.

Her And Peter would be very interesting

INCREDIBLE NEWS!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!

However, given the current state of Coronation Street I am very worried that this classic character will end up ruined ...

She will end up dead after a romance with newcomer Russ Burton, the local car jacker, but don't worry Toyah's daughter May Battersby will still be on our screens.

and...

Our Toyah is officially back!

Can we please have the setup of Leanne, Eva and Toyah sharing the flat together?

Do we think they'll go down the line of Toyah having a feud with Eva?

Brilliant news I'll like to see how she interacts with Eva.

Eva will probably be too busy feuding with Kate Oates new favorite Maria

Is it a permanent return?
