Yahoo News Corrie lines up Christmas robbery twist for Leanne
Coronation Street's Leanne Battersby will fall victim to a cunning thief in the run-up to Christmas.
Leanne (Jane Danson) is on the lookout for a new man when she returns to Weatherfield, but just when she thinks her love life is finally looking up, things take an unsettling turn.
When Leanne first arrives back after several weeks staying with her mum Stella Price, she decides to experiment with online dating.
Sadly for Leanne, her experience is full of disastrous dates and no-shows – so she's pleased when she ends up hitting it off with Toyah and Peter's handsome new B&B guest Chris instead.
Leanne's sister Eva encourages the potential match by getting Chris (Oliver Walker) to buy her a drink – and it's not long before they're making plans to meet up again.
However, while Leanne is enjoying her first proper date with Chris later in the week, she fails to notice him sweeping her mobile phone off the table and into his pocket.
Later, the afternoon of drinking at the pub has disastrous consequences when Leanne discovers she's been robbed by Chris.
Much to Leanne's confusion, she finds that Chris has stolen her mobile phone but has left her purse, which contains all of her cards and money.
A baffled Leanne wonders what on earth Chris's game was, but she's in for another nasty surprise as the true meaning behind his behaviour hits home…
Coronation Street airs these scenes on Wednesday, December 20 at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
