Corrie's Leanne Battersby barely recognisable in new images as she's hunted down

Leanne Battersby will be confusing viewers next week as she returns to the thick of the action.

After Harvey Gaskell was put behind bars, Leanne was able to go back to her normal life with Nick Tilsley and Simon Barlow in Weatherfield.

And with Sharon Bentley gone to run Harvey's drug empire after double-crossing him, things have been quite for the terrorised family.

But that's all set to change next week.

Corrie viewers will see a seething Harvey plot his escape from prison after it is revealed that Leanne's sister Toyah has ruined his appeal case which was being headed up by Sabeen Habeeb.

In a bid to get out, Harvey deliberately injures himself in prison and demands to go to the hospital.

And things take a shocking turn when Harvey's prison van ends up crashing into Dev Alahan's car as he, Aadi and Asha head off on a family trip.

Harvey, played by Will Mellor, then pulls himself out of the van into the torrential rain and prepares to escape.

Oblivious to who is heading her way, Leanne is alone in the Bistro and dressed as Morticia Adam.

But she soon finds herself face to face with Harvey.

He traps her in the Bistro, and when she tries to escape he gags her and binds her hands together with gaffer tape.

However, Leanne, portrayed by Jane Danson, finds an opportunity to get out, only for Harvey, intent on murder, to give chase.

Suddenly the ground opens up, and who has fallen into the water below remains to be seen.

Have Leanne and Harvey survived? Will Harvey live to carry out his revenge?

The dramatic scenes are all part of Corrie's horror week - dubbed 'Super Soap Week'.

Several lives are set to be in danger, including Leanne and Harvey's, as Debbie's Horror Nation Street events take a deadly turn.
