There's a story in today's Daily Star that says Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Barlow, will take a break from Coronation Street in 2012.
The paper says that "Bosses were forced to write Jane out of the soap after she begged for a few months off work." And on-screen, Leanne will leave Weatherfield after husband Peter admits he’s in love with his Carla.
Peter finally confesses: “OK, it’s time for the truth. I didn’t want you to find out like this but I love Carla and we want to be together.” Leanne flies at him with her fists before breaking down in tears. Then she decides to pack her bags and go.
Little Simon is in tears and begs her not to leave. But she tells him her mind is made up and heads off from Weatherfield in a cab.
And the Star goes on to say that Jane will return to the soap: "Bosses have assured fans that Leanne will come back later next year."
HOWEVER - none of the above is true. The Chief Publicity Officer for Coronation Street tells us that the story in the Star is "Total Nonsense" and that Jane is NOT leaving Coronation Street - she's simply taking a two week holiday. Tabloids, eh?
