Leanne Battersby’s life couldn’t get more difficult on Coronation Street ever since she uncovered the devastating truth about Nick Tilsley and Toyah Battersby’s affair. Despite their initial attempt to keep things under wraps—the couple couldn’t deny their feelings. This incident left Leanne feeling betrayed and furious. Leanne’s attempts at revenge have already backfired once, but now a drunken mistake has left her at the centre of far more serious blame.

Coronation Street: Is Leanne The Person To Blame?

Already drowning in his sorrows, Leanne tried to resort to alcohol, but little did she know that her reckless choices would come back to haunt her. That same evening, the Platt family house went up on fire, and when Leanne later found matches in her coat pocket—the doubts began creeping in. Was she involved without realising it, or was someone setting her up?

Kit wastes no time questioning Leanne about the fire, though. Every piece of evidence seems to point in her direction, and though she insists she is innocent—even she can’t explain how the matches ended up in her coat. The situation worsens when she realizes that many in Weatherfield now believe she could be guilty.

As the week progresses, Craig steps in with an unexpected update—Leanne hasn’t been charged yet. The reason? New evidence has surfaced, and the police need forensic confirmation before making a move.

However, this delay doesn’t mean she’s off the hook. If the findings don’t clear her name, Leanne could be facing the unthinkable—prison time for a crime she wears she didn’t commit. Is she about to pay for something she didn’t do, or has she been hiding a terrible truth all along? Only the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers can reveal. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
