Fobbing Simon off on anyone who will look after him whilst she goes to the gym because she fancies a bloke there.
I wouldn't criticise Leanne for that. She isn't his real mother. Simon had a happy family when Peter was with Leanne, after such a troubled start with his mother dying. Peter broke that apart to get with Carla, who doesn't have a maternal bone in her. Threatening to abort as she has done is despicable IMO. Peter palms Simon off more than Leanne and he's the natural parent. Carla should expect to have to look after him sometimes, he's 10 and she's his step-mother.
I hope this isn't the start of Leanne and Carla becoming friends. Even though she's over Peter now, it would be unrealistic for Leanne to forgive Carla for stealing her husband and upsetting the family life she had (yes, she blames Peter too, but I imagine she's been more furious with Carla since Peter was someone she had strong feelings for - and she was clearly willing to forgive him right before her wedding to Nick - while Carla was merely 'the interloper' to her).
I hope Leanne and Carla do become friends despite their feud
But apart of me thinks too much has happened for the friendship to be rekindled. I liked their feud too
Ten minutes ago, Nick couldn't be trusted to be in the same room as Curly in case he gave him one of his famous black eyes, now she's happily sending them off up the Red Rec for hours, just so she can flirt with Kal.
The filthy trollop.
Morals of an alley cat that one.

the scene when Leanne offered support was great, and shows they are working together and moving on for Simons sake ect
Just keeping Carla sweet so she can have a ready babysitter whilst running to Kal. Just like she is lying to Nick and not being straight with him.
Just what I thought. If she told Nick the truth then she might not have him as back up if all fails with Kal and would he really play footie with Simon if he knew the truth >:(
I couldn't help noticing the other week she was happy for Peter and Carla to take Si out for a pizza and bowling on a school night

A character can evolve over time.
Peter and Carla have developed brilliantly and credibly too.
