Coronation Street - Current Episode Discussion - IV

Bit of a cheek of Nick to demand Steve to move away ... why doesn´t he move with Leanne to avoid Steve watching his child with Leanne grow up

I didn't personally have a problem with the way Nick treated Steve (despite the latter usually being my favourite character of the two). Nick's situation was already difficult before Leanne admitted her lie, and I'd expect someone like him who's prone to mood swings to not behave altogether rationally in such a stressful situation.

Also, I suspect he didn't really expect Steve to up sticks but just wanted to put the frighteners on him and prove that he wouldn't hesitate to ruin him in a heartbeat if he went back on his word to stay away from Leanne's baby. I fully understand that Nick needs to feel secure in the knowledge that Steve won't come along one day and take away the child he's bonded with as his own.

However, if I were Leanne, I'd have to give second thoughts to committing to someone so unstable and controlling - especially with a baby on the way.

I'm kind of disappointed that since the pair's romantic reunion on the bus they've barely exchanged an affectionate word. I hope their relationship is steadier now Nick is in on (and appears to have accepted) all the secrets - but then happy relationships don't last long in soaps!
