Fans of Coronation Street have expressed shock and outrage as Leanne Battersby blamed Toyah’s so-called ‘negative’ attitude for her cancer diagnosis.
Last night’s episode saw Toyah learn that, instead of being pregnant, as she had initially suspected, she in fact has ovarian cancer. Making her way back to the street, she told her sister the sad news.
Leanne blames Toyah’s cancer diagnosis on ‘negative energy’
However, Leanne didn’t exactly respond with the sympathy one might expect… instead launching into another hard sell for the Institute.
A slack-jawed Toyah was stunned to hear Toyah tell her that the cancer was probably caused by her negative energy. Stunned by Leanne’s response, Toyah announced that she would be attending all hospital appointments alone.
Both Toyah and Nick were horrified by Leanne’s heartless comments… as were fans.
Coronation Street fans slam ‘lunatic’ Leanne
As the scenes aired, fans took to X to share their thoughts on Leanne’s latest outburst against poor Toyah. And the response was unified in its condemnation.
‘Leanne is off her rocker. Toyah tells her she’s got cancer, and her immediate response was that it’s been caused by bad behaviour and negative energy? Enough. End the storyline and write Battersby out. They’ve turned her into a lunatic sap,’ wrote one disgusted fan.

‘Is Leanne saying that Toyah manifested ovarian cancer?’ asked another, aghast.

‘I’m sorry I low-key love this institute storyline because as soon as Toyah said she had cancer Leanne immediately went back to rambling about the institute. Hilarious,’ a third said, finding the morbid humour in it.
