Coronation Street fans terrified for Leanne Battersby as she vows to deal with drugs boss Harvey
CORONATION Street fans are terrified for Leanne Battersby after she vowed to save Simon from drug dealer Harvey.
King pin Harvey – who is played by actor Will Mellor in the ITV soap – turned up on the cobbles tonight to find Simon after putting Jacob in hospital.
It terrified the lad as Harvey insisted he owed him thousands – and Simon finally opened up properly to mum Leanne.
After deciding to go to the police, Simon got the news of Kelly’s overdose and realised he faced much more trouble.
Leanne told him: “If we go to the police and explain the situation then they’ll realise the pressure you’ve been under.”
And when Harvey called Simon, he panicked and planned to flee – but Leanne hatched a plan to take on Harvey herself.
“Call him back – I’ve got an idea,” she said as Simon arranged a meeting for tomorrow.
She added: I’ll go instead. I’m not going to tell him off – I’m going to pay him off.
“Don’t worry we’ll find the money somehow.
“This is my fault – I let you get involved with these people.
“And I let this happen because I was too wrapped up in my own grief to notice. Well not anymore Si.
“I’m going to star behaving like your mum and we’re going to sort this out.”
