Coronation Street: Leanne and Toyah Finally Reconcile After Nick’s Shocking Proposal Backfires
Emotions ran high on Coronation Street as long-feuding sisters Leanne and Toyah Battersby faced an explosive confrontation — one that ended in an unexpected moment of peace. What began with a disastrous marriage proposal quickly spiraled into a tense family showdown that forced the Battersby sisters to face years of betrayal, heartbreak, and resentment head-on.
Nick’s Proposal Sparks Chaos
The drama began when Leanne (Jane Danson), still struggling to rebuild her life after escaping a manipulative cult, reluctantly followed her sister Eva’s (Catherine Tyldesley) instructions to meet Toyah at the Bistro. What she walked in on, however, was far from a reunion — Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) was down on one knee proposing to Toyah.
Leanne’s fury was instant. Outraged at the sight of her sister accepting a proposal from her ex, she threw a drink over both of them before storming out in disgust.
The betrayal cut deep. Toyah (Georgia Taylor) and Nick’s relationship had already devastated Leanne, who had believed her sister would never cross that line again.
Eva Takes Control
Determined to end the family war once and for all, Eva Price made a dramatic return to Weatherfield and wasted no time intervening. Fed up with the ongoing hostility between her sisters, Eva cleared the Rovers of its customers, locked the doors, and demanded they finally talk things through — no interruptions, no running away.
Tensions initially exploded. Toyah accused Eva of meddling, while Leanne hurled years of bottled-up anger at both of them. When Toyah attempted to throw a drink at Leanne, Eva stepped in just in time, stopping the situation from getting physical.
But Eva wasn’t backing down. In a rare moment of brutal honesty, she reminded them that Nick was the real problem — not their sisterhood.
“He’s caused trouble between every single one of us,” Eva pointed out, referencing her own romantic history with Nick. “Are you really going to let him come between you again?”
Her words hit home. Slowly, the tension eased as the sisters began to remember their bond — one that had survived far worse over the years.
A Sisterly Truce and a Difficult Decision
By the end of their emotional heart-to-heart, Leanne and Toyah were finally back on speaking terms, united in their shared frustration with Nick’s manipulative behavior. Their reconciliation brought a rare moment of calm after months of bitterness.
Meanwhile, Toyah returned to the Bistro, where Nick waited anxiously for an answer to his proposal. In a quiet, honest moment, she told him the truth — she didn’t want to get married.
Admitting that she was content with their relationship as it was, Toyah made it clear that marriage wasn’t what she needed right now.
What’s Next for the Battersbys?
With the sisters’ rift beginning to heal and Nick left reeling from Toyah’s rejection, the Battersby family dynamic could finally be shifting toward peace — at least for now. But in Weatherfield, harmony never lasts long.
As Leanne rebuilds her life and Toyah reevaluates her future with Nick, fans are left wondering: has Eva truly mended the Battersby bond, or is this just the calm before the next storm?
