Coronation Street spoilers follow from Monday's episode (January 27), which is available to watch now on streaming service ITVX but hasn't yet aired on ITV1.
Coronation Street's Leanne Battersby has become further isolated from her family in the show's latest episode.
Leanne caused more even problems for herself with a thoughtless remark over her connection to Sam Blakeman.
Viewers have seen Leanne go on the warpath against her sister Toyah Habeeb and ex-fiancé Nick Tilsley in recent weeks.
Leanne has tried her best to keep Nick's son Sam out of the drama, but the 13-year-old schoolboy has grown quietly disapproving over her erratic behaviour.

In Monday's episode, Leanne had a difficult start to her community service work – a punishment for her recent fraud scandal.
Leanne struggled as some local teenagers heckled her while she carried out litter-picking work.
Needing a distraction after being humiliated, Leanne headed to the Bistro and ordered Toyah to serve her with champagne.
Leanne's day then got worse as Sam arrived at the Bistro and visibly disapproved to see her drinking again.

Leanne complained to her new friend Tracy McDonald that Sam seemed to have taken Nick's side in their split. She agreed with Tracy's suggestion that it was because they're not biologically related.
When Sam interrupted, Leanne snapped: "I know you're just trying to make me feel bad. But it's true, innit? We're not blood. You know it, I know it."
Later, Leanne apologised for her cruel comment and assured Sam of how much she loves him.

Sam was unforgiving, telling Leanne: "It seems to me the only person you really care about is you. Why do you keep behaving like no-one else matters?
"Look, I'm a kid but I'm not stupid. I just thought you were a better person, that's all."
Corrie bosses have confirmed that Leanne will be one of the suspects when an arsonist targets the Platt house next week.
Now increasingly isolated from everyone, could Leanne be the one who resorts to drastic actions?
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
