Coronation Street: Nick Tilsley slammed by viewers as he abandons son Sam

Nick left Weatherfield with Leanne and Simon

Coronation Street character Nick Tilsley has been slammed by viewers as he abandoned his son Sam to leave Weatherfield with girlfriend Leanne.

Last week, drug dealer Harvey was arrested by police. However he discovered that Leanne was the one who reported him to police and vowed to get revenge.

In last night’s scenes (Monday, April 12) Leanne decided to flee Weatherfield in order to protect her son Simon from Harvey.

Nick told Leanne they could sort things out, but she insisted it was too late.

Later, Nick told his sister Sarah and brother David about Leanne’s involvement with drugs and how she and Simon planned to leave.

He realised he needed to choose between leaving with her, or staying with his son Sam, who he found out about last year.

But Nick soon made his decision and ran after Leanne telling her he would be joining her.

Later, he told Sam and Natasha that he was leaving and didn’t know when he’d be back.

Nick explained to Sam that he may be out of contact for a little while, but he would always be thinking of him.

Although Sam was understanding, it was clear he was gutted his dad was going. Later as Nick said goodbye, Sam waved him off from the window at Gail’s house.
