Leanne and Michelle in tears over newborn baby on Corrie
In some dramatic scenes on Monday, Leanne (played by Jane Danson) gave birth to a healthy son in a lift, who she later named Oliver.
In this evening's episode, Leanne took Oliver home to her flat where she was visited by Michelle Connor (Kym Marsh).
A grieving Michelle held the baby in her arms, completely unaware that her husband Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) is the biological father.
Consumed with guilt, Leanne was forced to leave the room.
