Katy left with Linda for a new life in Portugal, although Izzy decided to remain behind in Weatherfield. Owen later decided to leave the street, and Izzy forgave him before he left. Owen's departure left Izzy the last Armstrong family member on the street. In , Izzy turned to marijuana use to relieve her chronic pain, and began meeting drug dealers.
Her flat was later raided by the police when she had a dealer round, and Izzy accidentally hurt an officer when she rammed him with her chair, which caused her to be arrested and charged for possession of drugs and also assaulting a police officer. Although the court were sympathetic towards Izzy's plight, she received a two month prison sentence. After finishing her sentence she hoped to get back with Gary, but he was no longer in love with her, which she accepted.
She still remained friends with Gary and would often support him through his troubles. Popular pages. Recent blog posts Forum. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? Izzy Armstrong. Owen gave Izzy the ultimatum that she was to either terminate her relationship with Gary or he would report him to the police for the attack. Izzy refused to break up with her boyfriend, and made it clear that Gary was still suffering from his PTSD.
In July , Izzy was robbed by a gang of teenagers and Gary's mental health relapsed as he began to become too over-protective of Izzy and even took her wheelchair away so that she was unable to leave the house. When Katy and her boyfriend Chesney Brown began to fear that something had happened the pair got Owen to break the door down and the trio found Gary and Izzy crying in the corner.
After Gary let Izzy go he went back to living with his mother for a few weeks. In July , Izzy and Gary reconciled and she later confided in Fiz Stape that she was pregnant with their child.
Izzy informed Gary about the pregnancy and he was excited, although she made sure that he was aware of the health issues her condition placed on the baby. The pair later revealed the news to their families but were left devastated when Izzy miscarried.
Izzy decided that if they wanted children that they would have to adopt, taking inspiration from Anna's adoption of Faye Windass , but was informed that Gary's criminal history would prevent adoption from happening.
Katy willingly offered herself up to be her sister's surrogate, after having already given birth to her own son Joseph Brown the previous year. However, Izzy and Gary agreed not to go ahead with the plan after remembering how ill Katy had been while she was pregnant. After discovering that one of her father's tenants, Tina McIntyre , had been unable to pay her rent due to being in debt - Izzy casually mentioned the search for a surrogate while being served by Tina in the Rovers.
Tina offered her services, providing that the price was right, although this upset her partner Tommy Duckworth.
Tina ignored Tommy and went ahead with the implantation process, with her pregnancy being confirmed two weeks later. Tommy struggled to cope with the situation, as everyone believed that the child was his, and revealed the truth to his neighbours - Tina was disgusted by his behaviour and ended their relationship. It wasn't long before Izzy began to feel left out of the pregnancy, as Gary and Tina attended birthing classes together. When Tina realised her feelings she promised to involve Izzy more in their activities.
However, unbeknownst to them both Gary had become smitten with Tina and ended up trying to make a pass at her. Tina rejected Gary's advances and agreed to keep it a secret from Izzy.
However, Izzy was shocked to overhear the pair talking about it. As Izzy argued with Gary, Tina went into early labour and gave birth to their baby - who was later named Jake Windass. As the baby's life hung in the balance, Izzy refused to let Gary see Jake but Tina soon banned the pair of them from seeing him until they sorted out their problems.
Izzy and Gary agreed to stop arguing for the sake of their son, but were left horrified when Tina revealed that she had changed her mind about giving him up after having bonded with him while in hospital. The pair visited lawyers to ask about taking legal action against Tina but were told that it would take years to get Jake back through the courts. Izzy eventually gave up hope and told Tina that she could have him. I remember at that point thinking: 'But it's still out there.
How on earth can I, as a human being who's at risk, go and take those risks? If they take this risk, that's very different to other workers'. It's a complete lack of understanding that the virus is still out there with new variants. A lot of us are in lower-paid jobs and we're in the community everywhere. If you're in that position, there are no benefits available because you've chosen to lose your job. If you're a frontline worker or a low-paid worker, you have no choice and that discussion has never happened.
It was nice to have the luxury to ask: 'Can we run our lines? We were using part of our house and it was nice to figure things out to make it as smooth as possible.
When me and Toby started to do our bits, we did it to the first ADs [assistant directors] at Corrie , so it could be much better quality. It was to ensure that it looked the best that it could on screen.
We've really been helped through this process the whole way. I'm a chronic pain sufferer, so the first few months were quite nice — to have a stop and not have to go anywhere. We said that she couldn't be on her own for two weeks, which is all we thought it was going to be at the time.
It was four months before she went home! If I'm honest — I'm a really strong person and I never expected it would happen to me — but I found the concept of going outside more and more difficult. Poppy Logo. FB house promo. The Soaps Newsletter.
