Toyah Laverne Battersby joined the show in 1997 when the brash Battersby clan turned up in Coronation Street. Toyah is Janice Battersby's daughter and Leanne's step-sister. (Leanne is Les Battersby's daughter).
Toyah was on the show until 2003 and during that time she...
In 2001 Toyah was raped and left for dead by Phil Simmonds, a man she had befriended after meeting through Spider.
After the ordeal, Toyah returned to college and moved in with Fiz Brown and Maria Sutherland in the flat above the hairdressers' and tried to move on with her life. She had a brief fling with Andy McDonald.
Toyah then started dating one of her former professors, John Arnley, in 2002.
Despite the fact that Maria had an abortion, Toyah couldn't handle John's infidelity and left for a new life in Sheffield, before reconciling with her ex-boyfriend Spider Nugent and moving to London with him, as he had started his own juice company there.

That Maria! She's a bit of a biatch really. Serial boyfriend stealer!
Is this why Emily hasn't returned yet: she's going to come back with Toyah and Spider? (I read somewhere that Emily and Spider are related)
That would be great.
Yes Maricha, I believe that Emily is Spider's aunt.
I can't believe that Maria has been on the show that long....and she was a man stealer then too!
I barely remember Toyah, I think she left right around when I started watching.
Yes, Emily is Spider's aunt. He's the one who got her involved in a protest at the Red Rec where she climbed a tree.
But isn't Spider in Peru? Toyah is in Liverpool now? Looks like they have spilt
Will be delighted to see her return.
So the Battersby sisters have both slept with the McDonald brothers?
That (almost) makes sense with Leanne and Steve now. Ha ha
I'm looking forward to Toya's return! I became quite fond of her character, if I remember correctly she was a lot more intelligent than Leeanne. Georgia is a very good actress, she was excellent in Law and Order UK, she played a Crown Attorney.
I can't help but wonder who are they going to hook her up with - Luke, David or one of the Barlow boys? If I'm not mistaken I thought it was Peter who found her after the rape.
Wow, I completely forgot about Maria and the professor guy. She really is a serial man stealer! LOL I am looking forward to Toya returning. I think it could be interesting dynamics between her, Leanne and Eva....if the writers are smart. What am I saying? They will probably have her hooked up with Aiden (or someone's man) and up the duff by New Years.
