Heartbreak for Leanne and Steve Coronation Street

Corrie has witnessed many tragedies during its long history but few have been as moving or tear-jerking as this Friday’s episode.

Leanne finally gives up any hope of an appeal when Oliver’s health declines even further. She agrees to let him slip away quietly, mounting a bedside vigil at the hospital alongside Steve as their loved ones wait for the inevitable.

Elsewhere, Johnny, feeling guilty about the part he played in a security guard’s breakdown during his crime-fuelled years, wants to make a confession that could land him in jail.

After deciding to become a witness for the defence, Tim apologises to Yasmeen. Geoff is furious but there could be worse to come – Ryan learns he’s been spending a lot of time in Oldham, and Alya wonders if his visits could be tied to Elaine’s disappearance.

Adam sets out to win Sarah back, while Peter suspects Carla is up to something when she vanishes over lunch.
