I seem to remember allotments being mentioned ever so often in the past, I think Jack had one??? but don't remember them actually being shown. Guess they fit in with the storyline of Sharif and his chickens - The Good Life springs to mind

Violent Simon Barlow attacks Amy McDonald
There is going to be plenty of drama in the Barlow house over the coming weeks as troubled teen Simon Barlow sets his sights on a new victim.
For months he has been abusing his mum Leanne Battersby, but in shock scenes to be aired later this month Simon will attack his cousin Amy McDonald.
The two kids are left alone at Ken’s house and it’s not long before Simon’s anger gets the better of him and he attacks Amy. But seeing as she’s Tracy Barlow’s daughter the youngster doesn’t take his abuse lying down and quickly tells her mum what happened.
And Tracy hits the roof when she finds out Simon was violent with Amy, sparking a mouthy bust-up with Leanne.
An insider told the People: “The Barlows are going to be central to Coronation Street in the run up to Christmas.
“The close-knit family will be put under extreme strain and viewers will be left wondering if they can get through the turmoil.”

Me too, unfortunately. Wish they'd been more imaginitive in writing Steve out. We'll now have
'Man isn't there for his daughter when she needs him because he's throwing a strop over his mother's boyfriend.' They should have given Andy cancer or something, as it would give Steve justified reason to be absent for a prolonged period (spending time with his twin in case he didn't make it.)
I get annoyed by cancer seeming to be the only illness in soapland, but it would be better than this.
Things won't be merry in the Barlow household this Christmas on Coronation Street.
The Mirror has reported that Simon Barlow, played by Alex Bain, will turn violent towards Amy (Elle Mulvaney).

Leanne and Simon in Coronation Street
Viewers have seen Simon spend months abusing Leanne (Jane Danson), and Corrie's new plot will see him attack his young cousin.
The storyline will feature the two being left alone at their grandad Ken's house, and Amy will tell her mum Tracy about the incident.
Back in September, Danson admitted that she had some doubts over the domestic violence storyline.
"But the way it's been done is quite clever," she added. "He's a child who's been through so much with his dad, with the alcoholism, and he's lost so many people in his life. She's been the one constant, so she'll never give up on him."

Any long term absence, especially if the duration is unknown is pretty impossible for scriptwriters to include so Steve going to see Andy is probably the best they can do . Liz is too busy with the Rovers but can always go for long weekends or a week here and there without great explanations ...

Only if he had a serious accident abroad
( he would have to be there first ) and it
wasnt possible to move him home- for
medical reasons!
Re cancer there are so many types and
they have very different survival rates -
that is would be difficult to decide which
and write the story . It could give a wrong
or upsetting picture to people affected and their
families??
