I agree let Leanne, Peter and Simon be happy for a change.
Yes it would nice to see them happy for a while but I guess Chris and Jane are two of the best actors on the show so they get the dramatic storylines
Jane Danson has admitted that she wants Coronation Street's Leanne Barlow to have a baby.
The actress told Inside Soap that she hopes Leanne and Peter (Chris Gascoyne) can add to their family, but teased that they can't seem to "confront" the idea.
Danson told the magazine: "Leanne keeps dropping hints, but they haven't really had a heart-to-heart about it yet. They've discussed it with others, but can't seem to confront it."
Leanne is step-mother to Peter's son Simon, a role Danson said that her alter-ego takes very seriously as she grew up without her birth mother.
Danson explained: "She has her own family now. When Simon feels pain, Leanne does too. She's making up for what she didn't have when she was Simon's age."
However, Leanne is soon to be reunited with her real mother, when new Rovers Return manager Stella - played by Michelle Collins - reveals her true identity.
It would be nice to see Leanne with a baby of her own. She is a good Mother to Simon.A baby would make their family complete.:thumbsup:Quote:

Coronation Street star Jane Danson has predicted that her character Leanne Barlow will have to fight to keep her marriage on track in the coming weeks.
Leanne will soon be left concerned over her husband Peter's connection to Carla Connor (Alison King) when he finds himself drawn back into the businesswoman's personal problems in the aftermath of her rape ordeal with Frank Foster.
Danson told All About Soap: "[Leanne is] concerned for Carla, as any woman would be - but to be honest, she's more worried about the relationship between Carla and Peter at the moment."
After being reported to the police for sexual assault, Frank causes trouble by telling Leanne the truth about how Carla was behind the wheel in the recent car crash which hurt Stella - and how Peter (Chris Gascoyne) knows all about it.
Danson continued: "She's furious, but she isn't surprised. She demands answers from both of them, but she doesn't get very far. Before she can decide if she's going to keep Carla's secret or not, though, Carla takes an overdose - and Leanne and Peter race to the flat to find her unconscious.
"Leanne tells Peter he has to let the experts look after Carla, though time can only tell if he will. Leanne's prepared to fight for her husband, but they've got a long way to go before things are perfect."
Carla's dark new Coronation Street storyline begins on Monday at 7.30pm on ITV1.
BOOZY Corrie bookie Peter Barlow looks in low spirits as he slumps against an off-licence window clutching a bottle of vodka.
Alcoholic Peter (Chris Gascoyne) falls off the wagon next month as the rape of pal Carla Connor (Alison King) starts to affect his marriage to loyal wife Leanne (Jane Danson).
A source said: "When things go wrong at home, he can't help turning to drink again."

Coronation Street star Chris Gascoyne has revealed that the soap's bosses are planning to "delve deeper" into the troubles of his character Peter Barlow.
The Weatherfield bookie has a long-standing alcohol problem and his struggle to stay on the wagon is expected to be revisited in the coming weeks.
Gascoyne told Inside Soap's Yearbook 2012: "I'm just about to film an episode where Peter is going to appear in every scene, which is brilliant to do. It will explain a lot about the man's internal workings, and viewers will get to see him participating in his regular Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, which we've actually never properly seen on screen.
"We're going to delve deeper into it and see him with his sponsor. It's really great stuff."
Yesterday, tabloid reports suggested that Peter will betray wife Leanne by spending the night with Carla Connor in upcoming episodes.
Pondering the possibility, Gascoyne admitted: "I think it'll probably go down that route in the end, and there could be a lot more sneaking around.
"The interesting thing would be to see what happens when the excitement died down between Peter and Carla and they'd be settling down to everyday life - taking Simon to school and going to work. I'm not sure how they'd both deal with that."
Gascoyne was recently spotted filming scenes which see Peter desperately clutching a bottle of vodka outside an off-licence.
Forgetting the Carla element, I'm kind of pleased [though that isn't really the word I mean] that Peter's going to be shown relapsing. Not in a nasty way, more in a realistic portrayal of addiction. The few alcolohics I've known have struggled much more than Peter appeas to be.
It's been on the cards for a few months now, and finally Carla Connor and Peter Barlow get it together.
As these pictures show, the Coronation Street characters look very much in love as they spend time together in Manchester.
However, like most romances in soapland, the course of true love will not run smoothly as Peter is still married to his wife, Leanne.
The relationship has been bubbling under for months as Carla has slowly grown to love ex-alcoholic Peter.
They became close after he helped the factory boss come to terms with her own problems with alcohol.
And it was Peter (Chris Gascoyne, 43) who to Carla's aid when she was raped by twisted businessman Frank Foster.
Throughout, Peter had been unaware that Carla had fallen for him. :confused: She already told him that she loves him
However as we head towards Christmas Peter will realise that she’s the one he really loves.
According to a report, they enjoy a night of passion and the bookmaker even goes so far as to tell Carla he will leave Leanne for her.
A Corrie insider told the Daily Star: 'Peter tries to tell Leanne that their marriage is over but fails to tell her about his night with Carla.
'Leanne vows to do everything to save her marriage and Peter backs down. But it doesn’t stop him from seeing Carla and the pair embark on a passionate affair. :(
'Carla is happy to have him whenever she can and doesn’t care that it’s behind the back of her friend. It’s going to be a very complicated time for Peter Barlow.'
