Coronation Street favourite 'replaced' amid dark ITV soap plot as shock exit 'confirmed'
dailyrecord.co.ukCoronation Street's Leanne Battersby appears to be on the brink of being replaced in a sinister storyline on the ITV soap.The sudden departure of the long-standing character from the show is expected to air this week, with spoilers for the following week suggesting that another character will take her place.
