'Coronation Street' Leanne baby twist would be great, says Jane Danson

Coronation Street star Jane Danson has revealed that she would love the show's bosses to line up a shock baby twist for her character Leanne Barlow.

Leanne and husband Peter (Chris Gascoyne) had been trying for a child before their recent split, but had struggled to conceive.

With Leanne due back on the cobbles later this week, Danson admitted that it would be great to see her secretly carrying Peter's baby.



Danson told Inside Soap: "I think that would be a great storyline! Leanne could just get fat and not tell anybody. It'd be really interesting."

She added: "I'd also like it if they kept Leanne's quest to get in the family way going for a lot longer. In the real world, it can take people many years to have a baby."

Leanne's relationship break-up came as Peter chose Carla Connor (Alison King) over her.
