I'm wondering after all the Christmas spoilers. Is she going to be Peters woman that Simon catches him with on the drone?

Sigh Kate Oates strikes again. More cheating and more affairs. Why couldn't Toyah just visit Leanne and decides she wants to stay. Sorry that would be too realistic.

Did Toyah and Peter ever meet? I cant recall their paths crossing? Toyah always came across as rather intelligent and quite sensible. Why would she have an affair with Peter? A alcoholic, bigamist and serial adulterer who treated her sister appallingly. I thought she'd hate Peter not fall into bed with him.

They've met. Peter was the initial suspect for Toyah's rape. He was also the one who heard her screaming and came to her rescue when she realised the real rapist was a friend and in the house with her.

Yes. Then she jumped straight into Dev's bed not long after.

It isn't. Especially as she was devastated when Maria slept with her boyfriend before she left.

I've seen this said quite a lot. As though Toyah being cheated on (and the inevitable devastation it caused) means she could never possibly cheat herself?

I remember being utterly distraught when my boyfriend cheated on me 5yrs ago. Shamefully though, that didn't stop me being unfaithful in my last relationship even despite the fact that I had considered cheaters to be the scum of the earth because of my own prior experience!!

Sometimes we forget our moral standpoint and make a huge mistake. No one is perfect no matter how badly they've been hurt in the past.

Precisely - so Maria cheated with John - therefore Toyah will remain a saint forever. Life chucks things at you and you don't always react like you thought

My point about 'personality transplant' was her turning into a man-hungry, bitchy female, which Tracy became when Kate Ford returned.

Toyah was no saint in her first stint -- her and Leanne got up to all sorts, but if she is chucking her marriage away to be with Peter Barlow then she needs her head testing.

I think people are going to love jumping on the 'personality transplant' line with Toyah, when actually people change. It's just an easy excuse to moan about Kate Oates.

I think this will be different with Toyah.. Same actress - Georgia will bring a lot of old Toyah back. I can't imagine her agreeing to change her.
Tracy to be fair had started to go off the rails from the early 90s. Her rebelling, taking E etc.....I couldn't imagine anyone but Kate playing Tracy now.....her acting has vastly improved and I prefer her when she's not the psychopath. She shouldn't have killed Charlie but she did. She shouldn't have lit the candle - but she did - I'd like some form of breakdown/remorse from her. I had a idea for this a few months back



I was watching my boxset the other day and had an idea about a story for Tracy.



http://coronationstreet.wikia.com/wi..._October_1985))

1985 - Tracy runs away - she goes to visit Susan in Newcastle. A man notices her on her own but Tracy is wise enough to say she'll tell a policeman. She is then taken in by Bob Peacock - a policeman. Susan is rung and collects her - all we see onscreen is Bob being friendly.....BUT, as a way of "explaining" her behaviour since the 90s and far worse behaviour since 2002, what if Bob sexually abused her in the station. Tracy has bottled this up for all these years....until she cannot any longer.

Well whatever your moral compass, or lack thereof, most people in real life don't react that way. They can and do remember the feeling of hurt and betrayal and don't repeat it. I guess it must be a maturity thing.

It's not about being perfect. No one is, but to assign perfection to faithfulness is pathetic and laughable. It's about going on established norms. Yes it could be perfectly feasible that Toyah cheated, but she underwent significant growth in her last years on Corrie. She matured significantly and for her to come back in such a cheap and tacky way sort of undoes all that character development.

Precisely - so Maria cheated with John - therefore Toyah will remain a saint forever. Life chucks things at you and you don't always react like you thought
What's with assigning faithfulness to sainthood and divinity. She can have flaws without being yet another Oates bike saddled with sensationalist garbage.

Toyah doesn't seem the cheating type.
Especially after getting raped and having her best friend and partner betray her like that. To add insult to injury she's getting a recycled tacky Tracy storyline. Tracy and Toyah were nothing alike when she was last on. Not to mention she'll probably be sniffing around Leanne's leftovers.Personality transplant indeed.

From reading interviews with Georgia Taylor it sounds like she had a lot of input in regards to Toyah's return. I am holding out hope that it should be something decent because Georgia wouldn't return for any old storyline, especially as she seemed very am apprehensive about retuning.

It's probably all PR. It could also mean that she had input in dialogue. Most of the times the input is minimal and the writers don't necessarily take the suggestions from actors onboard anyway. Georgia could have also requested a challenging storyline from an actor's point of view rather than one that fits with the character.

I would be interested in the storylines she knocked back for this one though if true.

I hope her character is salvageable after the initial introductory storyline.
