Both trying to protect their respective sons.

Both not the biological parent but overcoming obstacles such as absent/weak parenting (from their Dads)

Both not helping the situation. Mental Health issues need to be addressed for both imo

What do you think? I still think Jane is a crazy woman though dragging a lifeless body across a common...

Interesting point OP. Jane can never come back from dragging Lucy's body across London as far as I'm concerned and though weirdly Ian and Cindy seemed to have forgiven her for it, Ian will do anything to get his leg over I cannot imagine Bobby being so forgiving when he eventually finds out what happened and about all his Mum's lies.

It's hard to believe Leanne takes what she does from Simon. It goes completely against her character. Maybe it is all about what Soap's think regarding women who can't have children of their own, that they may over compensate when looking after adopted children and forgive them and let them get away with murder

I never liked the way that Leanne acquired Simon, it didn't seem right. At least with Jane she was with Ian from when Bobby was just 1 year old and raised him as her own from a baby as a result the only mother he has ever known, she also legally adopted him. Leanne on the other hand came into Simon's life when he was a lot older, she never actually adopted him and was only with his dad for a short period of time. She didn't really have any business keeping him once her and Peter had separated and if I recall the only reason she was allowed to have him in the end was because Peter relented and allowed it - she had no legal right to custody though. At the time Leanne very selfishly seemed hell bent on getting custody of Simon just to punish Peter for his affair with Carla. Maybe that's contributed to some of Simon's problems now in that he feels he doesn't belong. He's living with Leanne who's not his mother or even his stepmother anymore and he's also gone through an incredible amount of parents and stepparents in his time: Lucy, Peter, Leanne, Carla, Tina, Nick, Kal....

Jane probably killed Lucy and blamed Bobby

Leanne blames herself

Jane is the only one who could front an advertising campaign for Nissan, endorsing the fabulous boot space in their Micras!

Are you just making this very tenuous link to insult Leanne?
