Abi goes to court

As Toyah Battersby (Georgia Taylor) continues to support Abi in her custody battle, little does she know that her own partner Imran is the father of baby Alfie. When Toyah postpones looking at wedding venues out of compassion, the pair are left feeling worse than ever. Imran later pleads Abi's case as she heads to court, hoping to help her keep Alfie. Will things go Abi's way?

Later in the week, Imran is more determined than ever to be in his son's life and he and Abi register the birth. Where does Abi go from here? Well, whatever becomes of Alfie's future it looks like she's have the daddy of all dramas to deal with first...

Toyah discovers Abi and Imran's secret?

When Kevin (Michael Le Vell) finds the birth certificate bearing Imran's name, and it's surely only a matter of time before Toyah hears the truth. Teasing how Toyah will react, star Taylor recently revealed: "It is the ultimate betrayal and for Toyah it is the most heartbreaking thing that could happen to her."

On Toyah's perception of Abi, she adds: "Toyah is going to have a huge conflict with her own conscience because fundamentally this is a woman who is damaged and an addict and who she would have helped in a previous life and has been helping. To suddenly be faced with the fact that she has this child with Imran will be a huge internal conflict for Toyah. And so we will see a battle in his mind with how she reconciles this and how she deals with the situation."

Summer spirals

Summer embarked on a worrying journey when she developed a crush on teacher Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), cutting down on eating which is having a detrimental affect on her diabetes.
