Les, who hasn’t appeared in the ITV soap since 2007, will die off-screen after a work accident. Les’ fate was rumoured back in October, but has been confirmed in recent storylines. Next week, Nick Tilsley ( Ben Price ), prepares to come clean to Leanne Battersby ( Jane Danson ) about his affair with Toyah Battersby ( Georgia Taylor ).
But before Nick can break the news, the police arrive and will explain that Leanne’s dad, Les, has died at work. Leanne will be left utterly shocked and will head to find her sister to tell her the news, however Nick shall quickly call Toyah to give her warning. Leanne and Toyah seem to bond over their grief for Les, but Leanne will be confused when it becomes apparent that Toyah already knew he’d died.
And Leanne’s even further puzzled when Toyah admits that Nick called her. Nick makes out he called Toyah about the Bistro rota and the news just slipped out. When Toyah leaps to Nick’s defence, Leanne’s suspicions deepen.
Leanne will do even more investigating after discovering a holiday booking on Nick’s laptop. The news about Les’ death was first rumoured last month with actor Bruce Jones allegedly being informed of his character’s demise via email. Bruce later told GB News.
