First
arrived
1997.
Leanne
Battersby
was
marked
out
as
trouble
by
her
neighbours
the
minute
she
stepped
onto
the
cobbles.
Character
reference
Determined
Leanne
will
do
whatever
she
can
to
get
what
she
wants,
and
usually
succeeds.
Deep
down
it’s
clear
she
wants
a
man
to
sweep
her
off
her
feet
and
give
her
everything
she
wants,
problem
is,
she
bores
easily
and
can
never
see
things
through.
Love
life
Gail
Platt’s
son
Nick
Tilsley
was
smitten
with
Leanne
as
soon
as
he
met
her
and
their
relationship
soon
became
serious.
Gail’s
concerns
were
confirmed
when
they
ran
off
to
Scotland
and
got
married
in
secret.
A
year
later
the
marriage
collapsed
when
Leanne
found
out
she
was
pregnant
and
Nick
talked
her
into
an
abortion.
Single
again,
Leanne
started
dating
cabbie
Vikram
Desai
and
partied
hard
but
soon
got
in
with
the
wrong
crowd
and
into
cocaine.
In a
bid
to
get
her
to
repay
his
debt
to
her,
dealer
Jez
Quigley
insisted
Leanne
slept
with
him
before
organising
a
raid
on
the
Rovers
to
recover
the
cash.
Leanne
was
badly
shaken
up
and
injured
and
fled
the
Street.
She
was
back
in
2004
and
it
wasn’t
long
before
she
was
back
stoking
up
trouble.
Ex-hubby
Nick
had
also
returned
to
Weatherfield
and
she
set
about
and
managed
to
split
up
him
and
his
girlfriend
Maria.
Leanne’s
romantic
life
was
looking
up
as
she
started
dating
Jamie
Baldwin
and
they
got
engaged.
But
Leanne
started
an
affair
with
Jamie’s
father,
Danny,
which
was
revealed
a
few
months
later
when
Frankie
answered
Leanne’s
mobile
and
heard
her
husband
drop
himself
in
it.
Although
she
didn’t
tell
Jamie,
Frankie
couldn’t
help
keep
his
evil
mum
Carol
from
spilling
the
beans
and
despite
Leanne’s
pleas
for
forgiveness,
he
dumped
her.
Leanne
fell
back
into
Danny’s
bed
and
the
couple
made
their
relationship
public.
But
Leanne
resented
having
to
play
nurse
to
an
ailing
Mike
Baldwin,
who
lived
with
them.
In
the
meantime
Danny
had
conned
Mike
into
making
a
will
that
gave
him
everything
when
he
died.
Leanne
was
delighted
to
discover
they
were
set
up
for
life
–
the
only
problem
was
that
Mike
had
made
a
secret
will
–
which
Leanne
found
days
after
his
death
–
which
changed
everything.
Realising
she
needed
some
insurance
in
case
she
and
Danny
split,
Leanne
pocketed
the
original
and
gave
Danny
a
photocopy.
Leanne
had
believed
Danny
was
planning
to
marry
her
but
he
was
hell-bent
on
winning
back
ex-wife
Frankie
and
when
he
heard
she’d
dumped
a
new
love,
he
dumped
Leanne
too.
Leanne
left
the
Street
after
she
informed
Danny’s
step-brother
Adam
about
Mike’s
original
will,
with
£50,000
in
her
pocket
which
Danny
had
given
her
to
try
and
keep
quiet.
Leanne
has
since
returned
to
the
Street
and
started
dating
Liam
Connor.
But
he
was
to
find
out
that
she
was
working
as
an
escort
girl
and
he
dumped
her.
However,
Leanne's
experience
as a
business
woman
has
stood
her
in
good
stead
and
she
has
now
opened
an
Italian
restaurant.
Memorable
moment
When
Les
caught
her
at a
strip
club
in
Manchester
and
dragged
her
home.
What
next?
After
her
terrifying
car
accident
at
the
hands
of
psycho
Paul
Connor,
Leanne
is
set
to
ditch
her
life
as
an
escort
and
join
forces
with
a
Street resident
to
form
a
business.
Will
she
succeed?
About
the
actor
Jane
started
acting
when
she
joined
the
Oldham
Theatre
Workshop
at
10
years
old.
She
got
her
first
screen
role
the
following
year
starring
in
GBH.
She
auditioned
for
the
role
of
Leanne
when
she
was
18
and
was
in
the
show
for
four
years
before
leaving
to
try
new
things.
The
lure
of
the
Street
was
too
much
for
her,
though,
and
she
returned
in
2004.
The
following
year
she
married
fellow
actor
Robert
Beck
and
in
2006
gave
birth
to
son
Harry.
