if Simon was messed up before he will be even more so with these type of throw away comments. Why did she fight Peter to get Simon if she is ready to let him go now. So Simon was right to query the difference between him and her own biological child then?

Yes I agree not happy Leanne would do that

Coronation Street won't be exploding Leanne Battersby and Steve McDonald's baby secret for a long, long time yet - but Jane Danson already knows exactly how Leanne will deal with the fallout.

Leanne is currently carrying Steve's baby following a one-night stand, but with Michelle Connor about to announce that she's expecting his child too, the stage is certainly set for some unmissable Corrie drama.

Steve slept with Leanne while he and Michelle were separated earlier this year. So if Leanne does get painted as 'the other woman' when the truth eventually comes out, she definitely won't be standing for that.

Speaking about a possible showdown between Leanne and Michelle, Jane laughed: "I think that'd be quite a good fight, they're both little powerhouses. Although they are both pregnant so shouldn't really be fighting!

"I think it would be more of a verbal slanging match. Michelle would obviously be devastated to know what her husband did, but in Leanne's eyes they were on a break and it takes two to tango.

"Even though she feels guilty, Leanne will come out fighting her corner. She'll never admit she was wrong."


Corrie's new producer Kate Oates has revealed that Leanne and Steve's baby secret will be a long-running storyline, taking the show right the way through to Christmas and beyond.

But while that particular bombshell isn't being dropped just yet, news of Leanne's pregnancy will spread next week. And it's usual suspect Tracy Barlow who's to blame when she discovers Leanne is expecting and announces the news to everyone at the Rovers Return.

Jane added: "It's awful - you don't reveal somebody else's baby news, but then it's Tracy Barlow sticking her neck in. She's seen them at the hospital while she was having a kidney check up so Leanne's backed into a corner.

"Because she's not had the time to cook up a story, Nick jumps in and says 'it's mine'. Obviously it's plausible because they're living together and because of their history, but it's not got them off to the best of starts."

I like long-running storylines as long as they don't get repetitive or just plain ridiculous (thinking of EE's Lucy murder storyline here).

I think Nick is going to accept the baby as his and that will work for a while but I can see Michelle having the baby early .. no doubt same time as Leanne is due and Steve will be caught out visiting both his children in hospital ...

Or Michelle will lose her baby or it will die after birth and she steals Leanne's baby

Please don´t turn Michelle in Ronnie Mitchell

In terms of acting, Kym is not up there with Sam, Jessie or Jane for a storyline like this

She already has one switched child, although I think we're all supposed to have forgotten about her real son Alex.
