We know that Steve is soon going to find out about Michelle's almost-tryst with Will and things will be rocky in that marriage for a while. He's going to have a one night stand with Leanne and she's going to discover she's pregnant, horrifying Steve. I imagine she'll find out just as he and Michelle are working things out.
We know Leanne has had a miscarriage in the past and doesn't think she's able to get pregnant but in soap world, one night stands with the wrong person usually end up with a little plus sign on the pregnancy kit stick. Steve will want her to terminate but given her history, I doubt she will. I do hope she isn't going to lose this baby.
I'd really like to see Leanne have her own child as long as it doesn't send Simon into another fit of rage. I'd prefer to see Simon become really protective of the little one and be a really good big brother. It might do Amy a lot of good, too, to be a big sister.
I know this kind of storyline is about as cliche as soap cliches get but they do work with the right characters. Steve and Leanne have known each other for nearly 20 years and each have come a long way since they were tearaway teens. In a perfect world, I could see them together as a couple but I doubt the powers that be are going to break up Steve and Michelle (Stell? Stichelle? Steanne?). Maybe we could even have Michelle pregnant as well! Liz would have a coniption fit! She likely will anyway, giving Steve holy hell just like she recently tore a strip or two off Michelle.
What about you? Are you still on Team Steve and Michelle or would Team Steve and Leanne make you want to dance at Steve's seventh wedding?
