The question is, when he discovers that she is pregnant, whether that is a hurdle he can overcome and whether he is willing to bring up another man's child, and also when he discovers who that father is, how he deals with it. She added: "It's another thing when it's your neighbour and it's Steve McDonald. Oates added: "Steve has gone from not necessarily wanting any more children to potentially fathering two, and the drama that we are going to uncover is kind of how he juggles that and what it does to him having Leanne over the road with a burgeoning bump.
Sources said that the fling happened when Leanne and Steve were both at a low ebb and sought comfort in each other. Although Leanne has been a mother to Simon Barlow Alex Bain since her relationship with his father Peter Chris Gascoyne , she has not given birth to a child of her own. Danson, who plays Leanne, said: "In true Leanne style she kind of shuts her eyes to it all because it will be okay, but because he Nick has given up so much, we've got to start this relationship with absolutely no secrets, we've got to be so honest with each other.
She has to tell him the truth and hope that he will cope with it, which he doesn't really, very well. She describes it as "a pressure cooker waiting to blow" as Michelle seeks to bond with her over baby news and speaks of them going through pregnancies together.
Meanwhile Gregson says that the fling happened after Steve "gave into temptation" but added that his character was "over the moon" about Michelle's pregnancy because of his desire to have a child with her. Marsh said: "She's thinking this can only be a good thing and it's kind of my last chance, of course she doesn't know his Steve's secret," but she added that her character would no doubt make Steve's life hell.
The toddler was suffering from frequent seizures and there seemed to be no obvious reason why they continued to occur. However, after extensive tests, the pair were told Oliver was suffering from a mitochondrial disease, which would shorten his life. As Leanne has been reluctant to admit defeat, she has only managed to keep pushing her loved ones away. The star spoke to Lorraine Kelly on Monday morning to give an update on the storyline as it reaches near its climax.
The actress hinted there would be a huge fallout in the episodes to come which could result in having to make some more tough decisions about her future. But with Leanne not knowing where to turn and likely to never agree with the decision, could she end up fleeing and leaving her life in Weatherfield behind?
Leanne actress Jane said: "I've also read a lot of literature about how families cope around their children's diagnosis with life limiting illnesses, looking at the human elements to their stories amidst all the medical speak and hoping I can get it right. Iain MacLeod added: "Above all, we wanted to do justice to the stories of the many thousands of families who have to deal with diagnoses similar to Oliver's, be it a mitochondrial disorder or another life-limiting condition.
Ian previously opened up about the sad storyline, saying he wants to raise awareness and help families who are affected. Aside from telling a brilliant, moving and emotionally complex story, we really hope to draw attention to this subject to change this situation for the better.
