I've always watched Corrie and it was only tonight when Janice was being a full on proper upset/protect your kids type of mum, that I questioned Leannes origins..
Lerse (Les) is her dad, Jan her step mum - since she was a tot we are led to believe... but what happened to her real mum? I don't recall ever knowing that info?
Anyone else?

No, thats what we said.. can't remember any significant points ie dead or alive etc... Which is very odd for Corrie as they have this particular 'thing' whereby they write every characters history even if they are short term.. inc birthdays, marriages, births etc. just in case they become 'big' characters and then the continuity is there...

Didn't Toyah run away to London to look for Ronnie in September 1998?

I know that im just saying its funny-

Leanne-never met the mum.
Toyah-never met the dad.

Whats the chances they hooked up to have Toyanne?
Ronnie is Toyahs biological father btw.....

Yes she did.

I don't think Leanne has ever mentioned her mum though

Leanne's mum never appeared and has never been mentioned. Leanne was with Janice since being about five I think because Toyah was a couple of years younger and they always considered themselves sisters.

Les met his other ex - Greg's mother - a few years ago and got her flowers...

There would be no point in toyah's father returning really, especially since toyah may never return to the street herself.

Hello!
Thats my point-i really want her to!
But not just for toyah...for janice!
They want storylines for Janice so this is one thats possible as its never been used! Do we know the circumstances in which Janice left him??

Toyah went to lok for her real father and did meet some man claiming to be him. He turned out not to be Ronnie and the police arrested him or questioned him

I don't remember that either... BUT.. so, the upshot is (to my original Q) Leanne's mum is mysterious, never mentioned and we know nothing about her... which is what I thought - but did think maybe (at the odd times I had a social life!! HA!) I'd missed some small crucial bit of info... apparantley not...!

Ronnie Clegg Toyah's dad.


It doesn't even give a name for Leanne's mother on Corrie.net

I was interested in the identity of Leanne's mother myself a little while back, and I seem to remember her name being given as Babs Battersby in some book about the women of Coronation Street.

It was incredibly bad casting with Janice and Toyah as the former is only 12 years older than the latter in real life. Not quite as bad Gail and Audrey who have 8 years between them.
