Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street fans will see concern grow for Leanne Battersby next week as she struggles with the tragic news about Oliver.
Leanne has her worst fears confirmed this week as she and Steve McDonald are told that – as expected – their young son Oliver has a form of mitochondrial disease and it's incurable.
Viewers will initially see Leanne go into denial over the news, pushing the doctors for a second opinion.
New spoilers on Coronation Street's official website have now revealed that Leanne's own wellbeing will become a cause for concern in the days that follow.

Jane Danson, who plays Leanne, recently explained: "She tries to remain in control, she takes on the mantle of saying: 'He's my son, I'll deal with this'. She really puts up the barriers.
"Everyone around her is trying to help, but they all become punch bags for her emotion. There's an element of denial to a point, but then once there's some acceptance, she decides Oliver needs her and no-one else.
"She shuts down to everyone else for a period and everyone is walking on eggshells around her. She can be quite angry and harsh with people, but at the same time I think it’s understandable because of the hell she's going through."
Coronation Street currently airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm on ITV.
