Coronation Street star Jane Danson has discussed the future of her character Leanne Tilsley.
The actress teased that she is currently shooting scenes which sees the old Leanne starting to creep back in, and described the storyline as "brilliant".
"All I'll say is that it's like the world is against her," Danson told TV Times magazine. "She's with a new partner, Kal, and his family are not very supportive of her past.
"Because her past is always there, it can flare up at any point and that's what I really love about the character. It's nice to have the change but also nice to keep a hint of the naughty 18-year-old that we saw right at the start."
Danson added that she feels there is "unfinished business" between Leanne and Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne).
"I really enjoyed working with Chris Gascoyne, because we were able to develop the characters and we knew each other really well as actors," she said.

"I loved the family unit that Leanne had. For a short period of time, she had that stability that she never had as a child.
"Obviously, it all went pear-shaped! I've always thought there's unfinished business with her and Peter, but as long as there's history with two characters, you can always open that door again. And they will always have a relationship - they co-parent Simon, and that's what holds them together in scenes."
Danson also revealed her thoughts on Leanne and Nick's (Ben Price) split, stating that their marriage was doomed from the start.
"The really clever story was her affair with Nick," she explained. "I was struggling to find a reason why she cheated when everything was going well with Peter, and it showed me that not everything's black and white, and people do things for reasons they may not realise at the time.
"Peter's alcoholism was a massive strain on their relationship and she had a history with Nick.
"If you've got a history with a character, the bond's always there. When they got married, I think Leanne settled - and I think Nick knew that. Even if he hadn't had the car crash, I think they'd have split up. Everything on paper was great, but she likes a bit of danger. It's what she knows."
Coronation Street airs tomorrow (June 27) at 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
