Leanne in Corrie

Leanne Battersby’s life is on the line in Coronation Street, after evil Harvey Gaskell returned to the cobbles and set out to destroy her.

Monday’s (October 18) double-bill of the ITV soap saw Harvey orchestrate his escape from prison.

After breaking his hand, he was taken to hospital, but the van in question was involved in a deadly collision, allowing him the opportunity to flee.

Leanne, meanwhile, was assisting Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) with her Horror-nation Street project, but she was soon left speechless, as her focus turned to vengeful Harvey, who had set foot inside the bistro with a wrench in his hand.

With shocks and stunts aplenty amid Corrie’s Super Soap Week, it is thought that lives will be lost.

And Jane Danson, who portrays Leanne in the ITV soap, hinted that her character could meet her demise at villainous Harvey’s hands!

Taking to social media, the actress shared a GIF of Harvey’s escape, and wrote: ‘Well its been an incredible 24 years……….’

Has Jane hinted at her departure? Say it ain’t so!

Fans hoped that the star’s comments were nothing more a joke. One viewer wrote on social media: ‘There will be national outrage if Leanne is killed off!’

‘I don’t believe it,’ added another, insisting that there’s no way the long-running serial drama would kill off Leanne.

We’ll just have to wait and see the drama unfold ourselves own Wednesday (October 20), when Leanne comes face-to-face with nemesis Harvey.

A tense showdown will ensue, as Harvey sets out to exact his revenge by murdering Leanne, as well as her sister Toyah (Georgia Taylor), who sabotaged his appeal.

But will he succeed?

Coronation Street continues Wednesday October 20 at 7:30pm on ITV.
