Harvey Gaskell (Will Mellor) was put to prison after threatening Leanne and Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) for months. However, Danson’s on-screen character, Leanne Battersby, will be in danger as Harvey escapes and makes his way to Weatherfield for revenge after his prison van crashes with the Alahans’.

In an interview with Metro, Jane Danson revealed she really felt scared as she filmed the scenes with Will Mellor. “That’s when you really believe someone as an actor. What is nice about having that physicality is you can do things that we’ve not been able to do previously,” she said.

Because of the pandemic, the cast and crew have to adhere to the health protocols, making it challenging to film realistic scenes being apart with social distancing.
