Coronation Street, Leanne Tilsley's domestic abuse storyline will begin when her stepson Simon Barlow lashes out at her for the first time.

Bosses announced in March that the show will be exploring the issue of child-parent violence, as Leanne comes under attack from Simon.

The story kicks off as Simon struggles with his emotions in the wake of Kal Nazir's death, becoming increasingly angry and upset.

Leanne notices the first signs of trouble when she has difficulty asserting her authority over Simon, who is constantly in a bad mood.

When Leanne tries to get Simon to help out with some basic jobs, he is furious with the suggestion and storms out of the flat.

Later, Simon returns but he is quick to remind a stunned Leanne that his real mother is dead, before hurling the TV remote at her face.
