Coronation Street viewers have watched with interest as much-loved veteran on the ITV show Toyah Battersby, played by Georgia Taylor, has reconnected with ex-flame Spider Nugent.
Georgia has revealed that the character will be "completely bewildered" by her upcoming disappearance, which looks set to rock the cobbles.
A new dramatic storyline on Corrie will see Toyah going missing when she gets caught up in ex-partner Spider Nugent's undercover police work.
"She's definitely shocked," she explained to Digital Spy.
"I think she thought they would probably get a place together and live together for a bit, so this feels like maybe jumping the gun a little bit, although she does love him very much.
"I think the issue is that because he has been hiding things from her, you could argue that if it's all above board with his ex, why has he not just told her that in the first place?
"So I think there are a few little niggles where she's thinking 'Can I completely trust him and if I agree to this what is my life and my future going to be like, married to someone who is an undercover detective?'"
The actress explains how this new story comes off the back of her character's antics last year, saying, "This comes hot on the heels of me having quite a lot of drama last year, but that does tend to happen in soap.
"I've definitely filmed some scenes that were a bit unusual and there was some location filming which was really fun, so there's definitely a bit of drama to look out for."
Georgia admits that she's apprehensive about the future of Toyah's relationship with Spider, saying, "I think it's difficult, the relationship has failed once before between Toyah and Spider," she said.
"But I think they've always had a very deep connection and the fact that he was her first love definitely counts for an awful lot, there's a lot of nostalgia there.
"I love working with Martin [Hancock] so I'd love them to move forward and explore that."
