ITV Coronation Street fans spot issue with Imran and Toyah's plans to adopt Elsie

Toyah and Imran Habeeb seem to be getting everything they've ever dreamed of in Coronation Street. As fans of the ITV soap know, Toyah has longed to be a mother and earlier in the year was on track to adopt a little girl named Elsie.

But the councillor was left broken-hearted by the revelation that her then-fiance had cheated on her with drug addict Abi Franklin, resulting in a secret baby, who we now know as Alfie. After revealing all in a meeting with their social worker, Toyah was devastated to be told that she couldn't adopt their foster daughter Elsie on her own while going through a split.

However, since then, Toyah has given Imran another chance and the pair have said 'I Do' and won custody of baby Alfie. But what Toyah doesn't know is that lawyer Imran used underhand tactics to make sure the decision went his way.

Then during the latest trip to Weatherfield, Toyah and Imran were left surprised when the social worker, Lou, asked to visit them. Later, in a meeting at their flat, she informed the newlyweds that they still had an opportunity to adopt foster child Elsie. With the pair now united, and issues with plans for Elsie to be adopted by another couple, Lou explained that they were still the best option for the little girl.

While out on the street, Toyah spoke to Abi and revealed that their family will be expanding. After putting on her best fake smile, the mechanic turned back to Kevin Webster at the garage outraged and said: "Some people have the luck of the devil. They just sail though life without a care in the world!"

But as the scenes played out, Corrie fans think they spotted a problem. Conversation Street Podcast, @ConversationStr, tweeted: "Hang on, I thought Elsie couldn’t live with other children…? Or was that just an excuse to make Kelly homeless…?" They are referring to when Kelly was unable to return to live with Imran and Toyah following her release from prison after being falsely sentenced to Seb Franklin's murder.

@laurenangelama1 also echoed: "I’m sure I remember them saying Elsie couldn’t live with other children #Corrie." @ElloTeenah also asked: "Toyah and Imran weren’t allowed to keep Kelly if they fostered Elsie so why are they allowed to have her back with Alfie? #Corrie."

Others, however, made a different observation. @itzzzo_ said: "What did Toyah mean Elsie was like a different child by the time she left her and Imran? The kid was in her room most of the time #Corrie." @moore95_pamela commented: "Elsie hardly talked Toyah because she was in her room half the time...#Corrie."
