Jane Danson has revealed there will be 'a bit of a twist' to the Coronation Street Christmas wedding episode. Viewers will finally find out whether Leanne Barlow will go ahead with her Christmas Day nuptials to Nick Tilsley now her ex-husband Peter is back on the scene, and Jane said things won't go entirely to plan. She told the Coronation Street website: "It's a massive will they or won't they moment. If they do, what happens next, if they don't what happens next? There's a bit of a twist." Jane said of Leanne's boozy hen party: "The hen do, which is the night before the wedding, ends up being a little bit lairy... Cut to Leanne getting drunk, having fights, smoking, being like Leanne of old which was brilliant to play out." She teased: "It's the start of a really emotional journey for her and when she gets drunk her inner true feelings pour out to a certain somebody." Meanwhile, Fiz Stape and Tyrone Dobbs are set to exchange secret gifts on Christmas Eve as he tries to keep their relationship a secret from abusive fiancee Kirsty Soames. And on Christmas Day, David Platt's pleas to wife Kylie to give their marriage another chance fall on deaf ears.
