How much more can the poor girl take?! First Kal dies, then Simon hits her with a remote, now being held hostage and I presume Simon will keep abusing her after this.

I thought they would have forgotten about the prostitution (esp after the Kevin forgot Jake), so it is nice they are touching on it again after all these years but it all sounds a bit far fetched as it does sound like Corrie are rewriting history a bit. From what I recall Leanne never had any bruises after visiting clients and she packed it in not long after her client was Paul Connor. In fact it sounds a lot like Paul kidnapping her. Unless it happen when Leanne was in Spain

Another one of McMutton's failed romances to add to the list then..

Sounds a good sl. Poor Curly Si - that kid just can't catch a break can he?
It'll be a miracle if he doesn't end up a total psychopath by the time he's 12.

I always thought they'd revisit the prostitute plot at some point and I'm glad it is something that hasn't been forgotten, but this all feels like too much is happening at once. Poor Leanne. 2015 really isn't her year, is it? I presume being taken hostage is what drives Simon to start domestically abusing her. No doubt this Dan guy will put all sorts of ideas into his head about Leanne's days as an escort.

I can't wait to see Jane Dawson put 80% of the cast to shame with her acting. She's been underused far too much this year, imo.

Have to laugh at how the scriptwriters only remember Saint Leanne used to be a prozzie when it's convenient for them lol
This story line stinks of desperation. A beating off Nick, Curly Simon and a former client can only mean that whichever poor sod ends up with misery guts next will end up being a wife beater.

As opposed to what? It was years ago - would you rather have her slut shamed in every ep since then?

Not every episode, no but ideally, every time Leanne has one of her judgemental rants at someone and conveniently forgets her own past.

And not just the prostitution. Instead of wailing over Kal - who died because she took half an hour to get down a ladder - the recent fire should have made her feel ashamed of herself for once, if only she hadn't forgotten about that time she burnt down a restaurant for the insurance money lol

Just read about this in the Sun this morning!! Sounds brilliant!! Any big drama that gives Leanne some long awaited action is fine by me, and good that it's something from her past coming back to haunt her!! There isn't enough referencing of the backstories of characters on Corrie!! Maybe the success of the Jenny Bradley return might start to change that!! Really looking forward to this!!

Who's forgotten about the prostitution?? It's mentioned on a regular basis by the lovely angelic Tracy who rams it down her throat every opportunity she gets!!

I'm really looking forward to this!! Any big drama involving some long awaited action for Leanne/Jane Danson can only be good in my opinion, especially something involving her murky past!!

When is Leanne not a pain? lol she is dreadful in every story line she is in. Simon was always gonna end up with problems and he's got no chance with a mother like Leanne. It looks like he will end up exactly like her - aggressive, rude, miserable, permanently angry and bitter.

It's occurred to me that the Hat has a predeliction for fishing around in unpleasant places in his mind and pulling out the most distasteful, unpleasant aspects of the human predicament and applying them to nearly every character in the Street. Only a few have escaped the sleaze, the horror and sadness that he manages to dish out each episode. But... I got to say,.. he's very good at it. Kudos miseryman

She really is the most belligerent woman I'm astounded the way she speaks to people. If it was real life she'd be banned from the rovers, Roy's, the kabin and Dev's. People wouldn't give her the time of day for fear of having their heads bitten off if they said as much as good morning to her.

And the Nazirs were certainly made aware of her past.

I agree. While I do get annoyed by the character, I love Jane Danson as an actress.

She needs to stop with this mother love of Simon to be quite honest, she's not his real mum, anyway.
