Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) made her big return to Coronation Street tonight – and was devastated to see that son Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) was packing his bags to leave.
The street stalwart left the cobbles a few weeks ago after cult leader Rowan (Emrhys Cooper) put forward the idea of staying at one of The Institute’s retreats.
Just exactly what these events entail, we’re not quite sure!
Sister Toyah Habeeb (Georgia Taylor) and fiancé Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) are aware of how damaging and exploitative the cult is, but Leanne has been completely manipulated into thinking it’s a self-help community.
In last night’s (June 3) episode, Leanne finally returned to Victoria Court only to discover that Simon was preparing to move away.

He explained that he was going to work with dad Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) on board a yacht, and she was furious that nobody had told her – except they couldn’t.
Whilst away, she’d shut off from the world and hadn’t been using her mobile phone.
Later, at the bistro, Toyah and Nick managed to talk some sense into her and she apologised to Simon for her actions, and watched as he drove off in the back of a taxi.
