There's some excellent news from this week's Inside Soap magazine about an upcoming custody battle for the Barlows.
Leanne and Peter look set to go head-to-head in the battle for little Simon and it's all going to kick off soon. First, Peter asks Carla to pick up Simon from school where he lashes out at her, kicking and screaming all the way home. Stella rings Leanne to tell her what's happened and Leanne returns to the cobbles determined to get Simon away from Carla.
Also, Inside Soap reveals that in the coming weeks little Simon tells Leanne that Carla's been hitting him. My guess is this is just Simon acting out his rage against Carla - but who knows if Carla would have it in her to hit a little kid, especially if she's been drinking and in a rage?
With Leanne gunning for Peter and Carla, the magazine says that a custody battle will be on the cards - and what a court case it could be. Leanne could drag up Peter's alcoholism and bigamy and Peter can drag up Leanne's prostitution and drug taking past. It could be an exciting storyline, with poor little Simon in the middle of it all.
