Coronation Street’s Leanne Battersby looks set to ruin her own revenge mission in upcoming scenes on the ITV soap, as she makes a crucial error that could risk her future
There’s big trouble ahead for one longterm Coronation Street resident at the end of the year.
The new year could start off rather bleakly for Leanne Battersby, as she makes a decision that could cost her her freedom. Not only that, but her own quest for revenge could be thwarted by her own doing.
As a result, her revenge mission could come tumbling down, and she could be sent to prison as a result. An incriminating mistake could see the character regret her actions, and even push someone else to taking their own vengeance.
It all kicks off as Leanne’s plan against Nick Tilsley and her sister Toyah Battersby spirals. She wants revenge after their betrayal, with Leanne splitting from husband Nick after his affair with their sister.
After the fling, the pair secretly continued their new romance but they have no idea Leanne knows this. Leanne is hurt, and she wants them to suffer. While she initially moved back in with Nick and tried to rekindle their romance, she’s now trying to stop the pair spending time together.
Not only did she ruin their holiday plans, but she then set up a bank account in Toyah’s name before taking action. Upcoming scenes see Leanne continue to set up Toyah, moving money from the business account into the other account.

In looming episodes, Leanne’s full plan becomes clear as Nick and Toyah are accused of fraudulent activity. As both of them protest their innocence, it isn’t long before they suspect Leanne is behind it.
Nick decides the only way to prove this is to find evidence, knowing that otherwise he faces trouble with the law. But will Leanne really let her sister and ex go to prison?
It seems it won’t get that far, as Leanne makes an almighty error that could see her plan come crashing down. Not only that, but she could be sent to prison as her guilt is rumbled.
The big mistake sees her seemingly sending flirty texts to colleague Amy Barlow, pretending to be Nick. Amy is left startled by this and soon confronts her boss for his inappropriate actions.
But when Nick denies this is his doing, he realises Leanne could be framing him once more. He decides to scan CCTV footage and notices that Leanne appears to have two phones.
So Leanne is likely using this second phone to set up Nick. But can he prove this? It seems yes as in the episodes to follow she’s told she could be facing a custodial sentence…
