Speaking recently about the plot, Jane Danson – who plays Leanne – commented: "It's funny because when they first told me about the storyline, I wasn't entirely sure about it and thought it may be a bit too tricky, but I'm absolutely loving it.
"In some ways, it is tricky because of the way Leanne is now speaking completely different to how she normally would and the language she's now using.
"But what is interesting for me as an actor is exploring her from a completely different way of thinking, and also it's fun because Leanne is absolutely oblivious to all of the damage she is causing by some of her behaviours."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
