Do we think they'll go down the line of Toyah having a feud with Eva?
I really hope not. Two characters fighting for the affections of their mutual relative feels very overplayed as a soap cliche. I think it would be a refreshing change if Eva and Toyah overcame the inital awkwardness and hit it off as friends. They'll definitley share something in common when the Maria/Aiden stuff comes out. I've thought for a while that having Leanne, Eva and Toyah end up sharing a flat together would be an interesting dynamic rather than yo-yoing Leanne from Peter to Nick constantly.

But yes, in reality I think they will feud for the attention of Leanne and keep upping the stakes against each other as Corrie love to do.

Fantastic news, Leanne is one of my favourite characters and it be great to have Toyah back beside her and GT was great in Casualty.

I hope the writers show some imagination, and have them get along just fine.

I don't see a "feud" with Toyah and anyone really, she wasn't a nasty character. She was a just a wild teen but matured quite a lot by the time she left, it was Leanne who was nasty back then.

This is Corrie in 2016 though SH, every character has to have an uncharacteristic feud with another character for no apparent reason at least once.

Eva will probably be too busy feuding with Kate Oates new favorite Maria
Well good, I don't really want Toyah & Eva feuding, especially if all three girls are going to run the Rover's together as has been my dream since I joined tne forum!!

Brilliant news I'll like to see how she interacts with Eva.
With her mouth and bodily gestures I should imagine

Best Corrie news in ages. I'm liking the decisions that Oates has made so far about who she's bringing back, apart from Brian. I really want to see Toyah as a successful career woman who has made something of her life.

Didn't Toyah leave to be a journalist?

Hmmm... neither was Todd.

And although she could be majorly stroppy, neither was Tracy.

I'm worried now!

Great news!
Watch Eva be sidelined now as Leanne's "sister" so she can focus on being a full-time BFF of the gays

I'll be very dissppointed if there isn't at least one awkward scene between them, given that was the reason Toyah left all those years ago!!

Interestingly Georgia Taylor & Samia are still mates along with Jennie McAlpine!!
Toyah & Eva will be an interesting introduction & that's a fact!!
Back in the day Maria seemed more self-confident than Toyah. Toyah will soon see Maria having changed with what has happened to her eg Liam, Tony, Marcus.

Eva will at first feel her nose pushed out of joint as Leanne & Toyah have so much catching up to do, and for Leanne Toyah could still feel more like a true sister than Eva.

Well good, I don't really want Toyah & Eva feuding, especially if all three girls are going to run the Rover's together as has been my dream since I joined tne forum!!
Leanne could threaten to blow the secret of Steve being her baby's dad unless he lets her, Toyah & Eva run the Rovers together!

Great move on Corrie's part. Georgia has proven herself to be a fantastic actress, even more-so since leaving Corrie. I hope her talents aren't wasted.
Fantastic news, Leanne is one of my favourite characters and it be great to have Toyah back beside her and GT was great in Casualty.
In answer to both your points, Georgia has indeed been good in other roles. I particularly liked her in Law & Order (ironically acting alongside Bradley Walsh, whose character Danny Baldwin Leanne had an affair with) and found her better-looking there than in Corrie.

Maybe Emily will do just that when she returns from Peru.

I pretty sure it will be permanent as I read an interview with GT who said that she would never do a guest return.

Signed up for 6 months with a view to stay on longer, apparently.

My Toyah!

I hope she comes back as awesome and independent as she always was.

YES! I loved them to bits, in their tent on the Red Rec. I still see that actor in various things, and I always think - there's lovely Spider.
