Leanne Tilsley's abortion trauma - April 1999

The distraught young married woman takes a form of drastic action that will have a profound effect on her life over the course of the next year...
Jane Danson puts in a terrific and powerful dramatic performance in these scenes which should have earned her an award nomination back in '99. No copyright infringement intended.

Watching this in 2020 I'd forgotten that Leanne had an abortion.

Also a miscarriage in 2012.

My aunt is the receptionist in the clinic. She also played Gemma Richards in 2003. She stopped acting when my little cousin was born in 2005.

This is the best storyline

Judy looks like Amy Whinehouse 0:45 its bloody spooky

Nick definitely was so selfish here. Leanne clearly wanted that baby but nick wanted to go to Canada. They could have made it work they were married. It was a good storyline though

i forgot how beautiful adam rickett was back in the 90s

Why didn’t they use contraception it would’ve made life a whole lot easier and a more instructive informative storyline

[@sophiewhyman9296]

It’s not meant to be informative all the time it’s a soap so there’s drama

[@holly2057]

They did, she was taking the pill

[@DDaSilva1980]

@@holly2057 This storyline was written to write Nick out as Adam Rickitt wanted to be a pop star. Some at the time thought Nick would run off with Miranda but that would have been too predictable.

you can still get pregnant on contraception. I think she was on the pill
