Coronation Street legend arrested for fraud as the truth implodes
Share:
Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) has been arrested after trying to frame sister Toyah (Georgia Taylor) and ex-fiancé Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) for fraud in Coronation Street. Over recent weeks, Leanne has been transferring money from the Viaduct Bistro into a fake account that was set up in Toyah’s name.

It all began when she discovered that Toyah and Nick had made things official following their affair. After intercepting his emails, she learnt that Nick had booked the honeymoon suite in a lavish hotel in Tenerife, and he was forced to take son Sam (Jude Riordan) on the trip instead.

Seeing red, she stole Toyah’s passport and set up the hoax bank account. Earlier this week, Nick returned from his jaunt and was told by Leanne that a sum of cash that had ‘mysteriously’ gone missing from their restaurant. Detective Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) then questioned a defiant Toyah, noting that the banking password was the name of her stillborn child, followed by 2001 – the baby’s birth year.

Deciding to play her at his own game, Nick approached Leanne with Toyah’s concerns and she acted appalled that they would consider her to be responsible. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video.
