Leanne is out for revenge against Toyah and Nick Tilsley for continuing their relationship behind her back. Showing no mercy, Leanne even tries to manipulate PC Craig Tinker into believing that Toyah and Nick came up with the financial scam together.
Speaking about the upcoming scenes, Georgia explained: "It's an enormous shock. Toyah is completely blindsided by it because she hasn't done anything wrong.
"Nick's been away with Sam. She's really missed him, but in the meantime, Leanne has been really messing with them both, sending text messages which we may later find out not to be true. So Toyah is desperate to see Nick and make sure they're still on track, then she's met by this.
"She walks into the Bistro giddy to see him, and then Kit is there arresting her on suspicion of fraud, which is the last thing she thought was ever going to happen."

She continued: "Toyah doesn't understand it at first, but when Kit takes her to the police station and starts questioning her, what comes out is that in order to set up this fake bank account, the person who has done it must have known a lot of personal information about Toyah so then she starts to think: 'Hang on, only a really small amount of people know this stuff and Leanne is one of them'.
"She then starts to wonder if Leanne knows that she and Nick are back together, rather than them keeping it secret as they thought.
"The repercussions of this could be that Toyah goes to prison. It's huge, it's not just slapping someone round the face or chopping their clothes up, it's potentially incarcerating someone for something they didn't do.
"Obviously it shows that Leanne is hurt but I think it also shows she's quite unhinged, so it's quite a nerve wracking time for both Toyah and Nick to see what lengths she will go to."

In Corrie's Christmas Day episode, Toyah's suspicions over Leanne escalate into a violent showdown as the sisters come to blows.
Georgia added: "Toyah and Nick have been further questioned about the fraud. They're back at the Bistro, then they quite boldly in front of everyone share a kiss.
"Of course that is the exact moment that Leanne walks through the door and far as she's concerned they're just rubbing her nose in it. A huge row escalates between the two sisters which culminates in a physical, old school Battersby brawl.
"It was a lot of fun to film, but what I loved most was all the other characters in the scene and their reactions, which were just absolutely brilliant.
"Craig, the bumbling police officer bursting in and making a hash of things, Colson [Smith] is just so funny and such a joy to work with.
"Then Sue Devaney who plays Debbie is just hilarious. At one point there was a camera just purely on her watching all her reactions. We were all creasing up, she's a comic genius. It was such a great atmosphere and energy having us all together in a big group."
