Imran starts bedding two sisters!

HE’S NOW INVOLVED WITH BOTH TOYAH AND LEANNE…

- Kate White

Lusty Imran proves he loves living life on the edge this week – by bedding both Leanne and Toyah in the space of a few days! The naughty fella can’t resist when he’s given the offer of no-strings fun by both sisters, and winds up believing they are also cool with this bizarre arrangemen­t. Why does he think that the Battersbys would agree to be two parts of the Street’s ickiest love triangle?

“Imran hasn’t set out to have his cake and eat it!” laughs Charlie De Melo, who plays the sexy solicitor. “It’s like an Ealing farce because it all happens through miscommuni­cation. There is a half-hearted attempt by Imran to establish some clarity between Leanne, Toyah and himself – yet both of them make it clear that they’re not interested in anything serious, and they don’t want each other to know. Imran decides not to push it – in his head, he knows something might not be right, but he’s not thinking with his conscious brain!”

You’d think that having already bedded her sister Leanne, Imran might consider Toyah off limits. However, after a disastrous meet-up with Peter, the bereft woman shares a bottle of wine and a steamy encounter with Imran. Every time they’ve met before, Toyah and Imran have bickered with each other. So how does that turn into passion?

“Toyah is very strong-willed and holds her ground – she’s happy to spar with Imran,” explains Charlie. “They have a slight antagonism which develops into something more physical, and therefore more complicate­d. With Leanne, he initially used her as a distractio­n to manage his grief, but now he sees her as a strong, selfassure­d person, and starts to grow a real fondness for her.”

With both Battersbys asking Imran to keep shtum about their trysts, the guy’s confused. But through a hilarious turn of events, in which his business partner Adam misunderst­ands what Toyah and Leanne mean, Imran thinks he has the green light to date both women.

Imran stumbles into this situation by being intentiona­lly naive!”

“Imran isn’t a love rat, and there’s no menace in what he’s doing – he’s stumbled into this situation by being intentiona­lly naive,” promises Charlie. “He can’t believe his luck! With all his grieving, it’s nice to see a more playful Imran, and that’s been really fun to act out.”

But should Imran be afraid of what’ll happen when the Battersbys learn the truth? “They’re formidable and very protective of one another,” muses Charlie. “Imran has wronged them both, though they do have big hearts – so hopefully they’ll go easy on Imran for his sake!”
