lol seems like she has been gone months doesn't it? I think she'll freak when she catches Carla in the flat.
The spoilers suggest some interesting scenes! Leanne "knocking seven bells" out of Carla re Simon's lie. I can't wait to see that - the Battersby of old is stil in there

Yeah, Les wouldn't have let Peter get away with anything! But I think Leanne can handle it all anyway

I can't remember if this has already been posted here

"The worried stepmum is furious when she hears that Simon and Carla were involved in a fracas outside his school, and gets herself on a train back to Coronation Street. But how far will she go to protect her beloved boy from the woman who stole her husband?
“Leanne’s absolute priority is to be there for Simon – and she’s disgusted by what she’s hearing,” explains our Corrie insider. “The battle lines are drawn. If Leanne thinks Simon is desperately unhappy, she’s not going to watch him suffer.”"

Gah! She was 3rd

But I knew that'd probably happen since it was between Carla who's had a massive storyline/lines, and Becky who improved a lot and had her big exit.

3rd is still pretty damn good out of almost 70!

Just wondering if anyone knows much of Jane's work outside of Corrie.

I came across some scenes of hers in The Bill and got all excited that she was kissing Jaime Murray (who I have a bit of a crush on) and was odd to see her as someone other than Leanne. Are there any clips of her in other shows lurking around somewhere?

Danson first came to prominence in the acclaimed ITV children's television drama Children's Ward, playing the role of Paula from 1995 to 1997. She also appeared in the first episode of the BBC's Hetty Wainthropp Investigates which was aired in January 1996.

In 1997, she landed parts in the ITV period drama series "The Grand", in which she played the role of Monica Jones for seven episodes, and then in the top-rated ITV soap opera Coronation Street, playing teenager Leanne Battersby. The Battersby family were dubbed the "Neighbours From Hell" and made an immediate impact on the long-running show's loyal audience. Danson left the show in 2000 — a year which also saw her win the Rear of the Year award [1] — not long after a harrowing storyline that saw her character become a drug addict.

Danson's next role was as a nurse in the drama series A&E, before joining the cast of ITV police drama The Bill in 2002. Danson portrayed Gemma Osbourne, the first lesbian police officer in the show's history


From wiki. I willhave a look for any clips.

I think if she had of stayed around this past two weeks she would have maybe beat Carla. Delighted Becky won though

Well done to Leanne in the favourites contest and if I could find an appreciation thread for Becky, I would say it to her, too

Glad for Becky who had her redemption story.

Well done to Leanne.

Should have been a three-way tie for first, I think:
Leanne, Becky, Royston

That was a nice interview and I love that photo of her.

Just one more week to wait until she's back!

"Even when it is revealed Simon made it all up, Leanne is still determined to win custody.

Jane said: "Whether that's just away from them or out of Weatherfield, I don't know. Either way, she's decided that Peter and Carla are going to have a fight on their hands over Simon.

"She can see that whatever happens between her and Peter, Simon is just a little boy who's caught in the middle and really needs looking after.""

"When Leanne hears how Simon has been rebelling in her absence, she tells the schoolboy that he needs to start behaving for Peter and Carla (Alison King). However, Simon then tells Leanne a shocking lie about Carla - claiming that she has been getting drunk and hitting him."
There we are then, Leanne wouldn't have had a go at Carla if Simon hadn't lied. Actually, it wasn't a total lie; Carla is still drinking and she did grab him.
