Coronation Street to tackle domestic abuse

Stuart Blackburn announced this morning on ITV This Morning that a new summer storyline will focus on domestic abuse, but with a twist.

The characters involved will be Leanne and Simon but the twist is that it will be Simon that will be harming Leanne. It may not be all that surprising, considering the upheaval that lad has had in his short life. Simon, now 12, will be seen hurting Leanne in a series of "brutal" attacks. It wouldn't be the first time that Simon has acted out, but he has never become violent.

It will be interesting to see how Coronation Street handles this issue. While it might seem a bit odd, Simon is growing up and getting taller. Puberty is already getting a grip. Viewers may have noticed Simon's voice changing. These years are always tough on kids, often changing teenagers' personalities for the worse. I think it's worth a "wait and see".
