Coronation Street star Jane Danson has predicted that her character Leanne Battersby may be making a huge mistake when she confides in Carla Connor in an upcoming storyline.
In next week's episodes, Leanne has a candid chat with Carla about her love life after sleeping with Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) on the opening night of The Joinery.
As she confesses all to Carla (Alison King), Leanne is unaware that the feisty businesswoman has been pursuing her fiancé Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne), and viewers are left to wonder whether Carla will use her new knowledge to her advantage.
Speaking about the plotline, Danson explained: "Carla is holding all the cards now and could produce the trump card in her fight for Peter. At any moment she could drop the bombshell on Peter about Leanne's affair.
"She's also very good at using what she knows and pushing Nick towards telling Peter himself."
Danson also revealed that there will be an awkward atmosphere at The Joinery as Leanne and Nick try to work together in the aftermath of their sexual encounter.
She said: "Leanne convinces him that their relationship has to remain professional, that they can forget it and go back to the way they were. But there's too much history and too much temptation in the way."
