Coronation Street‘s Leanne Battersby gets dangerously close to the truth over her partner Nick Tilsley
and sister Toyah next week.
The ITV soap is lining up a nail-biting moment as Leanne stumbles across the secret dossier of evidence
that Rowan Cunliffe has been building over Nick and Toyah’s affair.
Next week’s episodes begin with Leanne continuing to do Rowan’s bidding on behalf of The Institute.
By this point, Amy Barlow is threatening to sue the organisation for refusing to pay back her inheritance money. She has turned against The Institute after being forced to endure an upsetting “malware session”, which saw the members bombard her with cruel insults.

Leanne intervenes by offering Amy her job back at the Bistro, just a few days after she’d walked out in a moment of anger.
The agenda behind Leanne’s kind offer quickly becomes clear as she asks Amy to drop her plans to sue The Institute.
Later in the week, Amy is in the salon when she receives a voice message from an unknown number. She listens in horror to the message and then rushes out.
Meanwhile, Leanne meets up with Rowan at the Chariot Square Hotel.

“I suppose we’ve just got to hope that, because we do have that history, and because Jane [Danson, who plays Leanne] and I do have that chemistry, that we will find a way to make it believable.
“Of course they have to, in the long-term, come back together. But before they can come back together, it’s going to be explosive!”
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, September 4 and Friday, September 6.
