Coronation Street news: Fans terrified for Leanne as she takes on drugs lord Harvey

Fans are terrified Leanne will be forced back into prostitution

Coronation Street fans are terrified for Leanne Battersby after the news that she intends to deal with drug dealer Harvey for son Simon.

Grieving Leanne can barely cope with every day life after losing Oliver, but after discovering son Simon planning to run away to save himself from Harvey (actor Will Mellor), she sprung into action.

Harvey had tracked Simon down in last night’s episode (March 12).

He told him how he had put Jacob into hospital for stealing from him – and he demanded that Simon step up and replace him.

When Simon tried to say he wanted out, Harvey insisted he couldn’t go anywhere until he’d repaid his debts – now a staggering £2,000.

And Harvey made it very clear that he would hurt Simon if he didn’t do what he wanted.

It put the fear into Simon and he raced home to pack his bags to go on the run.

However, his mum Leanne found him and convinced him to go to the police for help.

Unfortunately for Simon, just as they planned to go to the station, he got news of Kelly’s overdose and realised he had sold her the dodgy pills.

However, realising he was trapped, Simon began to panic forcing Leanne to step up as his mum again.

And when Harvey called, she decided on a plan to deal with him.

“Call him back – I’ve got an idea,” she said.
