And here's someone FROM the '50s to explain to us all about Leanne's awful dress sense

The 1850s, that is

Leanne really should change her name by deed poll now I'm thinking, to go with her dowdy attire.
It's the logical next step.

Miss Babbersham would suit.

She should also become a regular at Aud's salon, along with fellow OAPs Mrs Elderberrybush and Mrs Honeysucklefanny - and start drinking nothing but thimbles of sweet sherry in the Rovers instead of her usual half of lager and lime.

Liz could say ... "The usual Miss Babbersham?" ... when she enters the Rovers in a haughty manner, befitting of her newly reinvented self.
"I'll thank you to simply pour the beverage and keep the social niceties to yourself bar-wench" ... she'd reply, her nose stuffily high in the air obviously.

Karl could add to the new image by wearing a flowing black cloak and mortar board.
He would naturally be Miss Babbersham's keen suitor, admiring her from afar, and they could start officially courting.

Obviously Curly Simon would need to change his name to something like Godfrey or Edgar, in order to fit in, but I can't see him having a problem with that.

I agree. My BF thinks Leanne is the bees knees and suffers withdrawal symptoms if she doesn't appear in an episode.

Agreed (Not that we ever do agree)

How old is the character supposed to be? She married Nick Tilsely in her teens, then divorced him. Nick went away and got a new head, came back and she married him again. Did she know that this was the same man that she had married the first time? Did she actually marry Peter Barlow or did they just live together? Why does Simon Barlow live with her when she is not related to him? So many questions left unanswered.
