Coronation Street viewers were baffled on Wednesday night as they watched Leanne Battersby being hunted down by drugs lord Harvey Gaskell on Coronation Street.
Leanne, played by Jane Danson, 42, was bound and gagged by Harvey (Will Mellor) as he terrorised her after she worked with the police to expose his gang in order to protect her son Simon (Alex Bain).
However, despite being tied up in the bistro while in full Halloween costume as Morticia Addams, Leanne inexplicably managed to escape while keeping her scary attire intact, prompting Harvey to chase her through Weatherfield during a storm as visitors flocked to Debbie Webster’s House of Horrors attraction.

Finding the scenes hilarious, one viewer took to Twitter to write: ‘I can’t believe he just went to whack Leanne and fell down the sinkhole like that. Is this You’ve Been Framed?’
Questioning Leanne’s sudden freedom, one person wrote: ‘Am confused, Leanne is gagged and bound, yet she manages to escape from the clutches of Harvey through the kitchen, how did she open that door?’
