Corrie are scraping the bottom of the barrel. And funny how Leanne never got pregnant during her relationships with Peter (after her miscarriage), Nick or Kal.

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coro...line-revealed/

And why make Steve try and get Leanne to terminate the pregnancy? Not good treatment of a character who was given a sympathetic depression storyline. Blackburn is really working at destroying liked characters before he leaves.

What a ridiculous storyline I find it hard to believe Steve and Michelle would split over Will (Steve knows how lucky he is to have her). Steve and Leanne's one night stand, maybe - but for her to get pregnant despite not doing so with any previous partner is going too far

Yeah it's the pregnancy that's unbelievable, given Leanne was told after the miscarriage that she probably wouldn't get pregnant!!
Steve being unfaithful is just par for the course, I don't think he's been faithful to any of his many partners ever!!

Why the uproar of Leanne finding herself 'pregnant'? Doctors say a lot of things, and usually the impossible happens. It's a soap and Corrie after all..........standards have slipped.

However, not sure if Leanne's character will improve with a baby. I guess this could be one way to reintroduce Toyah/Janice, for extra support.

Can't imagine for the life of me why Steve has been unfaithful. I'm guessing this is all done to present Michelle as someone whiter than white. Frankly their relationship is unbelievable and I welcome a break up.

Quite. There was terrific acting at that time from Jane Danson.

And - a long-term relationship for Steve and Leanne, maybe, they have known one another for many years, but a one night stand? No way.

Leanne never got pregnant when she was "on the game".
An old pro like her would never get knocked up on a one night stand.

She has not been in a relationship for quite a while so is probably not on the pill,when she was on the game she would have been covered to the hilt,lol

I have a couple of friends who were told they would never be able to conceive.

One had an ectopic pregnancy and lost a fallopian tube - Leanne has a blocked one - she stopped contraception and became pregnant two years later. The other had treatment for cervical cancer which was caught early so she remained intact, but was told the treatment made her infertile so never used contraception. She conceived soon after they'd started the process to adopt.

It happens.

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come under Kate Oates. I would've preferred a pregnancy story for Eva with Leanne's inner turmoil of never conceiving explored. Leanne would meet someone and become a mother figure to his kids.

Michelle and Steve would be strengthened through the suicide of Ryan. Michelle would then become transfixed on conceiving a baby in the midst of her grief.

No more cheating, affairs and wrongful imprisonments. The story team need a big shake-up. The show is so stale and stagnant.

Quite agree.

Don't have the applause symbol but if I had I would use it!!!!!

http://metro.co.uk/2016/06/04/corona...urder-5922784/ This is the dramatic moment in Coronation Street that sees the tension between Jason Grimshaw and David Platt spill over into a dramatic punch up as Jason fears that he is being framed for the murder of Callum Logan.

Kylie washed the wrench and put it in Tony's tool bag. The police search the builders yard for the bag, but Jason has it at home. Phelan takes the bag and hides it under the floorboard of the Nazir's house so Jason has something to be grateful for.

What's with the hiding things under the floor - John Stape hid a body under the factory floor, Callum was under the Platt's garage floor and now Tony's toolbag goes under the Nazir's floor?

Doesn't everybody?
I keep all my money and gold under mine.
(I wish).

You don't fancy becoming the scriptwriter do you ?

I'm sick of the cheating/affairs etc too. It's a default setting for a quick bit of sensationalism. Thing is, it's done so regularly now it's lost all it's impetus.

It's a cop out as far as storytelling goes.

When Sarah suggests she'd like to attend Callum's funeral as it might help her move on, Billy's adamant that it's a terrible idea.

Izzy, Gary, Anna and Erica wait with baited breath as the magistrate delivers the verdict. When Izzy is found guilty and released on bail pending sentencing, Izzy looks at Gary, horrified.

Steve calls at Carla's flat with Michelle's box of bits. Michelle persuades him to stay and talk but their conversation soon descends into another row and Steve heads out, fed up. Michelle kicks herself, wishing she'd never left in the first place.

Can random people plant trees on land they don't own?

Why are all the females who are pregnant in soaps all under 12 or over 50? why can't we have some normal, happy pregnancies?

And we're still seeing Blackburn's stories.

Sarah Platt spoilers for next week:

http://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/coro...chiatric-unit/

Really looking forward to these scenes!! After a highly unconvincing first few months of Sarah's return, Tina has been BRILLIANT in recent weeks, the only one of he Platts who seems to be behaving as you would expect in the cirumstances!!

I agree, the first few months of her return were terrible, but she knocked it out the park in the live episode and has continued to do so. This stuff sounds really good.

No, permission has to be sought.
