In a shocking twist that leaves Coronation Street fans questioning everything, Leanne

Battersby confides in Steve McDonald about a troubling gap in her memory that could change everything. As they sit together, tension thick in the air, she reveals that the last thing she can clearly recall from that fateful night was seeing her sister, Toyah Battersby, entering

No. 8. Everything after that is a blur. The next thing she knew, she was waking up in Victoria

Garden, confused and disoriented, with a troubling discovery—matches in her pocket.

The weight of the situation crushes her as she struggles to make sense of what might have happened. The revelation stuns Steve, who listens carefully, concern evident on his face. Was she really intoxicated enough to have done something as unthinkable as setting a fire that could have harmed her own sister? Or, even more disturbingly, is someone deliberately manipulating the situation to make her believe she was responsible?

Leanne’s uncertainty only deepens as she retraces the fragments of the evening, desperately trying to recall any small detail that could shed light on the missing hours. Had she been drinking too much? Could her judgment have been so impaired that she acted in a way completely out of character? Or is there another force at play—one that wants her to take the blame for something she didn’t do?

As she struggles with her emotions, a creeping sense of paranoia sets in. The matches in her pocket seem like an undeniable clue, but she has no memory of picking them up, let alone using them. Why would she have them unless she had something to do with the fire? The self-doubt gnaws at her, and she starts to question whether her own mind is playing tricks on her.

Steve, ever the supportive friend, tries to reassure her, but even he can’t ignore the glaring possibilities. He urges her to think carefully and consider if anyone might have had a reason to frame her. Was there someone lurking in the shadows that night, waiting for the perfect moment to set her up? Or did her emotions get the best of her after a few too many drinks, leading her to make a terrible mistake that she now can’t even remember?

Meanwhile, Toyah remains unaware of the full extent of Leanne’s predicament. If she finds out that her sister may have been involved, even unintentionally, in the fire that could have endangered her life, how will she react? Their bond has been tested before, but could this be the thing that shatters it completely?

As Leanne wrestles with her conscience, the question of her innocence—or guilt—looms over her like a dark cloud. Could she really have set the fire in a drunken haze, or is she the unwitting victim of someone else’s sinister plan? With the walls closing in and suspicions growing, the truth may be even more shocking than anyone could have imagined.
