Leeanne and Peter Get Married again (well a Marriage blessing anyway)
In the world of soaps, there is no such thing as an uneventful wedding.
And it's no different on the streets of Weatherfield, as the Coronation Street cast proved today when they arrived to shoot scenes for Peter and Leanne Barlow's wedding blessing.
Kate Ford, Samia Smith, Will Thorp, Craig Charles and Chris Gascogyne were among those castmembers who arrived at the church for the blessing but one person who was noticeably absent was the bride Leanne, played by Jane Danson.

In fact, the blessing has been organised by Peter (Chris Gascogyne), who has planned it solely to humiliate Nick Tilsley (Ben Price), after discovering he and Leanne have been having an affair.
Peter and Leanne married shortly after Peter was injured in the now infamous Coronation Street tram crash.
Desperate to wed her beloved whether or not he survived, Leanne called a vicar into the hospital to conduct the ceremony while Peter lay dying in his hospital bed.

However, the bookmaker pulled through the injury, although he was seen hobbling along on crutches as he arrived at the church this afternoon.
The wedding scenes, which featured in the live Coronation Street episode to celebrate the soap's 50th anniversary, garnered critical acclaim for the actors involved - specifically Danson.
The cast apparently conducted a poll amongst themselves after filming the episode to find out who they thought the best live actor was.

A source revealed: 'Everyone put their nomination in a box and they could not vote for themselves. Jane won hands down.
'She's a smashing girl and a really strong actress. But they all performed well. Nobody let the side down at all.'
The wedding blessing scenes will feature on the soap later this year.
