Steve Confesses Baby Secret To Peter!

Grieving Steve McDonald tells Peter Barlow that he's the daddy of Leanne's baby...Is he making a dangerous mistake?

STORY SO FAR

Expecting two babies with two different women has been nerve-wracking for Steve McDonald…

There’s been the stress of him being the secret dad of Leanne Battersby’s baby and the fear that he could be the carrier of a life-threatening genetic disease.

But when his wife, Michelle, suddenly went into labour too early and their baby son, Ruairi, was stillborn at 23 weeks, it was a tragedy that he’s finding difficult to come to terms with.

His big fear, confided first in his mum, Liz, is that Ruairi’s heartbreaking death is a punishment for his fling with Leanne.

THIS FORTNIGHT

Steve’s at a loss how to comfort wife Michelle, who’s hiding in her bedroom, desperately missing her baby and unable to face the outside world.
