Toyah Habeeb (Georgia Taylor) has been hospitalised in Coronation Street following her attack – and her sister Leanne (Jane Danson) could’ve been responsible for the subsequent fire. As viewers of the ITV soap know, Toyah found herself in hot water with Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine) after she reporter the mother to social services. Abi has been suffering troubling flashbacks and hallucinations relating to her son Seb’s (Harry Visinoni) death in the aftermath of helping stab victim Mason Radcliffe (Luca Toolan) in the moments before his own tragic passing.

She subsequently left her infant son Alfie alone in the carpark of Weatherfield Precinct after her mental health declined further. Toyah, whose late husband Imran (Charlie de Melo) was Alfie’s father, couldn’t resist intervening. When Abi found out she stormed her way into the Platt’s family home – No. 8 Coronation Street – and knocked Toyah unconscious onto the floor. Devastated by her actions, she disappeared and was unaware that a fire would soon break out in the property.

As the flames engulfed the hallway and living room, Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) burst his way through the kitchen and dragged her to safety.

Abi looked on from the shadows and scarpered, with husband Kevin (Michael Le Vell) confused as to where she had gone. In the moments leading up to the blaze, Leanne threatened Toyah and launched a bottle of vodka in her direction. She has become hellbent on revenge, furious that her sister had shacked up with her ex Nick. The next morning, Kevin received a call from Wendy Papadopoulos (Roberta Kerr) – who had been babysitting Alfie – to say that Abi had picked him up earlier that morning and seemed nervous.

Kevin’s sister Debbie (Sue Devaney) began to question whether she had ignited the fire. Suspicion was also rising at the Rovers, with Leanne worrying that her drunk and disorderly behaviour the night before would place her straight in the spotlight. News reached the locals that Toyah was undergoing emergency surgery for a bleed on the brain. Sue Devaney as Debbie Webster. Fans have been left distraught at news of Debbie's upcoming departure, with the character being written out as part of a storyline focusing on dementia.

A source told Metro: 'It’s one of the show’s biggest storylines of the year, and a real chance for Sue to finally get her time in the spotlight – it will just be devastating for fans that it will effectively be her final storyline. ‘It’s one of many major storylines new boss Kate Brooks has in the bag, and there will not be a dry eye in the house. ‘There is no doubt in the Corrie family that she will give the performance of a lifetime and make Debbie’s exit one to remember for years.’.

Sue Cleaver as Eileen Grimshaw. Loose Women and I'm A Celebrity star Sue has been central to the show for two and a half decades but now she will be saying goodbye. She confirmed: ‘I’ve had 25 privileged years of working on Coronation Street.’. ‘The door is still firmly open, but as I reached my 60th year, I decided it was time to embrace change, look for new adventures, and live fearlessly.'. Colson Smith as Craig Tinker.

After 14 years, Corrie has decided to also write out police officer Craig, with the actor sharing his love for the show on social media following the decision, delivered to him last year. He said: 'I've loved every single second of my 14-year stay as a resident on the greatest street in the world. I feel incredibly lucky to have grown up in, on and around Coronation Street. 'I've learnt pretty much everything about life from the people who call it home. I'm excited to play out the exit story for our Craigy. For me, this is just the end of the beginning.

'I genuinely can't wait to see what chapter 2 has in store for me. Long live the cobbles!'. Charlotte Jordan as Daisy Midgeley. After a very busy four years on the show, Daisy is set to leave as part of a currently to-secret explosive storyline, with Charlotte keen to try other projects. She said in a statement: 'My time at Coronation Street is something I’ll always cherish. 'After a brilliant four years for Daisy, it’s time for me to start a new chapter and explore other opportunities.

'It’s been a privilege to be part of a wonderful institution with even more wonderful colleagues who have taught me so much.'. Shelley King as Yasmeen Metcalfe. After 10 years, Yasmeen will be departing the cobbles - and she has already filmed her final scenes in December, so expect her last episode soon. Metro understands that she won't be killed off. A show insider has clarified: ‘Shelley spoke to producers early last year and advised that after 10 years on the show and being involved in many major storylines during the past decade she had decided the time has come for her to explore other opportunities.
