Coronation Street spoilers: Leanne is devastated as Simon leaves

As the week begins, Leanne finally returns from her retreat with Rowan and the Institute. She explains that her workshop overran so she stayed an extra night.

When Simon reveals that he’s leaving Weatherfield to join Peter on his yacht, Leanne is furious that nobody bothered to tell her. Nick tells her that he left a message with Rowan – which he obviously didn’t pass on.

Leanne explodes, accusing Nick of conspiring with Toyah behind her back. After wishing Simon a sad farewell, Leanne chats to someone on her laptop.

She tells them that now Simon is gone, she’s all alone. She tells the mystery person that she wishes she could be with them.

Toyah upsets the Institute

Meanwhile, Bethany tells Toyah that a colleague of hers once tried to write an exposé about the Institute, but was shut down.

At the flat, Rowan pops by to see Leanne, who greets him with a warm hug. He shows her Toyah’s negative posts about the Institute, infuriating Leanne.

At the Bistro, Toyah receives a hand-delivered letter. Upon opening it, she’s horrified to find that the Institute are suing her for defamation and taking out an injunction.

Meanwhile, Nick tries to help Leanne realise that Toyah is only trying to protect her from a dangerous organisation run by a lunatic. Refusing to listen, Leanne opens her laptop again – smiling at the person on the screen, she tells them that she loves them.

What will Leanne tell him?
