As the situation for young Oliver Battersby gets more and more desperate in Coronation Street, Leanne (Jane Danson) will fear that there is no chance of raising the £500k that the German doctors need for the youngster’s treatment – until a huge gesture from Nick Tilsley (Ben Price).
At the moment, Oliver is only being kept alive by breathing equipment and doctors have told Leanne and Steve (Simon Gregson) that it’s time to start thinking about switching off his life support.
Leanne has refused to give up and she contacted a specialist hospital in Germany, thrilled when they agreed they could look after Ollie. But it comes at a huge cost.
As Emma Brooker (Alexandra Mardell) recruits sponsors for her silence, Leanne fears they will never raise enough cash to fund the German treatment. Leanne’s overwhelmed when Nick offers to sell his shares in Underworld to raise cash for Oliver’s treatment, unaware of the secret he is keeping about his son.
In the wake of this, Tracy (Kate Ford) is worried when Steve suggests that if Nick is selling his shares in Underworld he and Tracy should sell Streetcars and the florist to find Oliver’s treatment.
With Tracy unsure about the treatment and worrying that Leanne is getting carried away, especially given Oliver’s prognosis, will she be able to persuade him to think again?
Meanwhile, Leanne’s only goal is to get this treatment for Oliver and she is prepared to do anything she can to get her son abroad. Believing he could really stand a chance, is Leanne setting herself up for a fall?
And will Nick and Steve’s gestures even be enough to raise the cash needed to fund it?
