Leanne Battersby

We have all mentioned how Beth and Sarah do not look like mother and daughter. Simon looks mixed race and with African Caribbean heritage. I remember his biological mother and he does not bear any resemblance at all neither to Peter his Dad. As the actor is getting older the different its even more apparent. We have to suspend belief again I suppose.

simon looks more like a mini lloyd

Coronation Street's Leanne Tilsley will face a frightening ordeal next month as Liz McDonald's new love interest turns violent with her.

Liz has recently caught the eye of brewery worker Dan Jones (Andrew Paul) and is hoping that he can bring some happiness to her life following her split from Tony Stewart.

Despite the early signs looking good, viewers will soon learn that Dan has a murky past when Leanne (Jane Danson) reveals that he was one of her clients when she worked as a prostitute.

When Leanne tells Liz that Dan is bad news as he used to be violent with her, the Rovers landlady takes heed of the warning and calls time on the romance.

With Dan livid over Leanne's intervention, he soon takes his revenge by cornering her in her flat and holding her hostage with her stepson Simon, according to The Sun today (June 15).

Dan once again shows his dangerous side as his fiery temper is unleashed at Leanne, leaving viewers to wonder whether she and Simon will make it out of the situation unscathed.

Beverley Callard, who plays Liz, first hinted at the story last month - warning that her character's new man wouldn't be all he seemed.

She said at the time: "Liz knows Dan already because he works at the brewery. Even though the viewers have not seen him before, the backstory is that he has already taken a shine to Liz in the past. Liz almost said yes to a date with him, but then Tony came along and took all her attentions.

"Liz sees Dan again and they begin to date, but what she doesn't know is that he has history with another character on Coronation Street already."

Leanne's latest trauma will come just weeks after the tragic death of her partner Kal Nazir and her subsequent troubles with Simon, who will be lashing out at her in a domestic violence storyline over the summer.

Leanne is blackmailed by Dan
Leanne Battersby is left with nowhere to turn in next week’s Coronation Street when Dan Jones threatens her.
The Bistro boss was shocked when she realised Dan, who was one of her former clients when she worked as a prostitute, is dating Liz McDonald.
When she threatens to tell Liz the truth about Dan, he advises her to keep her mouth shut or in turn he’ll tell Simon that she used to work as a prostitute.
Angry at finding herself blackmailed, Leanne has little choice but to agree to Dan’s request to keep quiet.
Meanwhile Simon Barlow’s behaviour takes a turn for the worse as he lashes out at Leanne when she doesn’t get him the trainers her was hoping to get for his birthday. He’s then disappointed when Ken Barlow presents him with a computer game he’s already got, and he then refuses to go for a birthday tea with Leanne, telling her that she’s a useless mum and he hates her.
His outburst leaves Leanne shocked, frightened of what Simon is turning into. But that’s not the only problem facing Leanne......

Liz accusing Dan in front of daughter and boss is asking for trouble with a character like Dan. Maybe he would not have revenge in mind if his job and relationship with his daughter were not ruined.
