As fans of Coronation Street will know, the whole Nick Tilsley and Leanne Barlow storyline took a surprising turn earlier this week when Nick (Ben Price) finally admitted that regardless of how humiliated he was by Leanne offering her ex-husband Peter (Chris Gascoyne) one last chance to reunite with her – on what should have been her and Nick’s Christmas Day wedding – he still loves her and still wants to be with her…

So he accepted her marriage proposal, and the pair will finally tie the knot tonight! However, whether it’s to be a happy ever after fairytale for the couple remains to be seen, but given this is soap land, that would seem an unlikely scenario.

Particularly given that Nick is about to discover that his sister-in-law Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) is pregnant, and he could well be the father of the baby! Read more & comment »

After what has been a phenomenal first year on the cobbles of Weatherfield, Catherine Tyldesley has reportedly signed a contract to stay on Coronation Street for the next 12 months.

And bosses were so desperate to keep Tyldesley, who plays soap siren Eva Price in the award-winning ITV1 soap, they reportedly offered her a six figure salary to make sure she signed on the dotted line!

Coronation Street’s Nick Tilsley is a man in turmoil, and it’s about to get a whole lot worse when his sister-in-law Kylie Platt (Paula Lane) reveals to him that she’s pregnant, and following their one night stand on what should have been Nick’s first night as a married man, he could be the baby’s father!

The couple of course fell into each other’s arms – and the honeymoon suite’s four poster bed – after Nick ditched his fiancé Leanne Barlow (Jane Danson) at the altar on Christmas Day following Eva’s revelation that Leanne went to see her ex-husband Peter (Chris Gascoyne) on the morning of the wedding to “offer him first refusal.”

Cunning Eva’s (Catherine Tyldesley) plan to split Nick and Leanne up then of course worked, but in doing so, she alienated herself from Nick, who now hates her for taking such pleasure in trashing his life… Read more & comment »

In next Monday’s visit to Coronation Street, Leanne and Peter Barlow are trying to stay on good terms for Simon’s sake, but when Peter suggests that he come back to work at the bookies – where of course Leanne has been working alone since Peter left Weatherfield temporarily earlier this year – her fiancé Nick isn’t impressed…

However, he grudgingly agrees that it could work when Peter (Chris Gascoyne) suggests that he and Leanne (Jane Danson) can work opposite shifts.

But when Nick’s too busy to go ice-skating with Leanne and Simon (Alex Bain) he’s further angered when Peter goes instead, and it’s soon apparent that the family day out reminds both Leanne and Peter of happier times… Read more & comment »

Fans of Corrie will of course know that Nick Tilsley and Leanne Barlow (Jane Danson) are set to tie the knot in a Christmas wedding, but as ever with a soapy wedding, things aren’t set to go smoothly…

And of course, as Nick’s love rival Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne) is back on the scene next week – he and Carla (Alison King) will return in the episode that airs on December 10 – there’s really no guarantee that Leanne will even go through with the wedding, as it seems she’s going to realize that she still has feelings for Peter.

However, Nick and Leanne’s wedding is set to take place on Christmas Day, and will of course be the focal point of the festive episode, and ahead of it, Ben Price who of course plays Nick, has been talking to the Radio Times about his character’s feelings towards Peter, and what to expect of the wedding plotline… Read more & comment »

With a hen party including your fiancée’s ex (who happens to be your resentful half-sister) and your already once ex-mother-in-law, Leanne Barlow’s Coronation Street send off to married life was never going to be a fabulous one, was it?

And the guest list goes someway to explaining why it precisely was not that, as the Daily Mail newspaper has printed pictures of that Leanne (Jane Danson) left alone and miserable on her big night, after a drunken row with her sister, Eva (Catherine Tyldesley).

As fans of Corrie will know, Nick Tilsley and Leanne Barlow have been back together for a few months now – they were of course formerly married in the late 90s – ever since she got custody of Peter Barlow’s son, Simon…

However, as Leanne (Jane Danson) is about to discover, she’s still in love with Peter (Chris Gascoyne) despite the fact that he ended their marriage in order to begin a new life with Carla Connor (Alison King).

Peter and Carla of course left Weatherfield temporarily earlier this year, but they’re now headed back, just as Nick is about to propose to Leanne… Read more & comment »
