CORONATION Street dropped a pregnancy bombshell as one resident discovered they were expecting a baby.
The bombshell came amid a hospital dash on the ITV soap opera.
Toyah Habeeb – played by Georgia Taylor – was left stunned when a doctor confirmed that her stomach pains were as a result of a surprise pregnancy.
In recent weeks, Toyah has been left reeling after it came to light that she had buried her own dead baby after being raped back in the early 2000s.
She struggled to cope when the body of her daughter, Rose, was found and after being acquitted of any wrongdoing by the cops, she was allowed to hold a funeral for her child.
Amid all of this, she was being targeted by Rowan Cunliffe, the leader of Leanne’s bizarre cult that has been involved in a rivalry with Toyah.
After being sued and facing jail time for going after Rowan and his group, Toyah was left drained and ended up hopping into bed with Nick, Leanne’s husband, on the day of Rose’s funeral.
Rowan managed to get some snapshots of Nick and Toyah in action and has been using them as a blackmail plot.
Three weeks on, Toyah was left blindsided when the doctor told her she was with child in front of a stunned Leanne and a panic-stricken Nick.
Toyah has famously been unable to conceive in recent years and has undergone many rounds of well-documented IVF to have a child.
She has seen her fair share of baby drama’s amid a secret step-sister surrogacy plot where she planned to have Leanne’s sister Eva Price’s baby and pass it off as her own, as well as her aforementioned deceased daughter and a disaster time as a foster carer with the husband she went on to kill, Imran.
Toyah went on to confirm to Nick only that her baby was as a result of their one-night-stand.
The plot line directly mirrors her sister Leanne who fell pregnant to a one-night-stand eight years ago.
Similarly, Leanne had been undergoing fertility issues for years but after a drunken sex session with Steve McDonald, she miraculously fell pregnant with his child, Oliver.
Oliver went on to die a few years later after suffering from a rare disease.
Nick ended up confessing to his brother David about the shock baby as Toyah insisted that she would be keeping the child as it could be the “last chance” she has to be a mother.

With Leanne in the dark about the father’s identity, despite begging Toyah to reveal all, she soon let slip to Rowan that her sister had found out she was expecting.
Will Rowan use this information to his advantage and expose Toyah and Nick’s affair?
And with Toyah already suffering from stomach pains, will her pregnancy be smooth-sailing?
