Coronation Street follow-up: As Dee-Dee’s boyfriend Ollie grows more suspicious, concerns grow for Toyah

He was very suspicious tonight

Coronation Street fans have been left concerned for Toyah Battersby as Ollie grows more and more suspicious.

Ollie hasn’t been in the soap that long. But viewers already seem convinced that he is connected to something big.

And after tonight’s episode (September 26) it appears it might be related to Toyah. But what happened? And what is Ollie hiding?

Last month, Ollie first met Dee-Dee Bailey in the Rovers when he asked to buy her a drink. Then, when he needed someone to represent him on his case, he bumped into Dee-Dee again.

But even on their very first proper date – while Lisa and Carla’s engagement party was taking place – fans were already suspicious of the newcomer.

While enjoying themselves, Ollie was extremely keen to know exactly who everyone was – almost as though he was looking for someone in particular.

Ollie’s interest in Toyah

Tonight’s instalment of Coronation Street showed Ollie in an extremely suspicious light. And now, fans are concerned for Corrie icon Toyah.

Dee-Dee and Ollie headed to the Bistro with Adam and Alya for their first official double date. But things took a bit of a turn when Ollie wasn’t impressed with the food.

Toyah came to collect their plates, and asked Ollie why he didn’t eat his. He got very annoyed, telling her it was too heavy on the truffle oil and that he cares a lot about his food.

Everyone was taken aback by his outburst, and Alya tried to smooth things over. But when Ollie heard her say Toyah’s name, his attitude changed and his interest picked up.

He asked her about her unusual name, fully invested in everything she was saying. And he took it even further by going on to compliment the veg.

Dee-Dee called him out for his behaviour, but Alya and Adam both thought she was over-reacting because of her history with Joel. As a result, Dee-Dee got up to leave.

But just as the others left, Ollie took a phone call where he promised the mystery person he would “find out what I can” – while staring at Toyah.

What is Ollie hiding?

Coronation Street fans are concerned about Toyah, as she seems to be the subject of whatever Ollie is planning.

For a while, viewers suspected he was connected to Logan Radcliffe – as he acted shifty when he heard Lisa was a detective.

Now, their concerns have switched to Toyah, with fans all asking the same question – what is Ollie up to?

One wrote on X: “I wonder what Ollie’s interest in Toyah could be?”

Another commented: “So Ollie is on the street looking for a blonde. He seemed to initially think it was Lisa, but it’s actually Toyah I guess. Corrie are doing a good job keeping whatever he is hiding a secret!”

However, a third has a few theories about who he is connected to. They penned: “Something is seriously off with Dee-Dee’s new boyfriend Ollie. Is he part of the gang working with Fiona and the dodgy MOT scam? Or maybe he has something to do with Becky coming back? Corrie have been very quiet about his character.”

“It really intrigued me today. I was convinced he was something to do with the Swarla story but today with Toyah was really suss. I would dump him straight away if I were Dee-Dee after that red flag behaviour.”

Only time will tell what exactly Ollie is up to – but he definitely appears to be hiding something.
