I can't help feeling that the producer and scriptwriters have done the Oliver storyline a great disservice by the way they have portrayed Leanne. The main emphasis has shifted from Oliver and the heartbreak for the parents to Leanne's unreasonable behaviour. The situation was retrieved somewhat by Steve's reaction to the court finding, but still it was spoilt by Leanne and diverted the attention away from any empathic feeling we might have to both parents in a situation like this, to being about Leanne and her unpleasant and aggressive behaviour, so that it is hard to feel any empathy or sympathy for her.
