Coronation Street fans think they know what will lie ahead for Toyah Battersby as Spider Nugent returns to the cobbles.
The ITV soap has shown that Toyah is currently looking torn. She is in the middle as step-mum as her partner Imran Habeeb and Abi Franklin are enthralled in a custody battle over baby Alfie.
She has been feeling nervous about being seen out and about with the infant, worrying about what people will think of her. Imran keeps telling her not to worry and reminding her that she is Alfie's step-mum. Tonight's episode saw him tell her: "He is our kid."

But fans seem to think that their make believe happy bubble could soon pop when Spider Nugent comes back on the scene. ITV confirmed Martin Hancock will resume the role he played as Emily Bishop's eco-warrior nephew between 1997 and 2003 next month, appearing on our screens in July.
As the on/off boyfriend of Toyah, Spider left Coronation Street in 2003, when he headed to London to start afresh with her. They later separated with Spider moving to Peru, while after a failed marriage Toyah returned to be with her family in 2016.
Now, fans seem to think that Toyah could leave Imran in her dust as she reignites a flame with Spider. They took to Twitter to share their theories.
Greg said: "Can’t wait for this story to be over and Toyah to cheer up a bit. She always looks so miserable. Perhaps Spider coming back will do the trick! #Corrie." Pete said: "Looking forward to spiders return and Imran going away #Corrie."
Philip said: "Expect #Imran will be ran out of #Weatherfield, I hope Royston Cropper will do it? #Corrie and Toyah will become depressed and enter #Spider to the rescue."
David said: "Ooh, Abi has spoken and give Imran a piece of her mind. Imran will be disbarred and Toyah will be back with Spider living in a tent on Redwreck. #Corrie."
Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8.30pm on ITV and the ITV Hub
