Coronation Street star Georgia Taylor has admitted that she thinks Toyah won't be able to keep her baby deal with Eva a secret forever.
The baby drama storyline, which left Toyah heartbroken when her surrogate suffered a miscarriage, led her to persuading a pregnant and vulnerable Eva to give Toyah her baby as soon as she gives birth in secret.
Next week when Eva goes in to labour, Toyah does everything she can to make sure both mother and child are ok, and even helps out in the delivery ward.
"Toyah hears screams and Eva says she has gone in to labour but unfortunately the door to the bathroom has fallen off with Eva trapped inside. Toyah smashes the hell out of that door because she is going to make sure that Eva and her baby are okay," Taylor said.
"There is a real dramatic currency to the moment that Toyah is the one who is quite literally on her knees receiving the child from Eva."
Planning to keep the baby, Taylor added that it hasn't crossed her mind that Eva may go back on their arrangement.
"When Toyah leaves Eva for the first time with the baby in the hospital, she is on Cloud 9. At this point, she believes this plan is going to work and everything is going to be perfect. Genuinely, Toyah is not worried about Eva going back on the deal, she is so in love with this baby and thinks all her dreams are going to come true," she said.
Bringing the baby to the cobbles and passing the baby off as her own, Toyah finds herself in a deep web of lies, and Taylor isn't sure if she will be able to keep them going forever, "I don’t know if she can, things do have a way of coming out.
"By accident, she has become a deceitful person but she doesn’t have the traits of a naturally deceitful person. But she does have a conscience so there is always a chance that she won’t be able to contain her guilt forever."
Taylor's initial reaction to the scenes was one of shock.
"I thought it was absolutely bonkers, in the way that a lot of the best soap storylines are. Often the most interesting drama comes out of characters going against the grain and not making obvious decisions and not making the most rational choices," Taylor said.
Coronation Street continues on ITV and TV3 at 7.30pm on Wednesday.
