With Idris Nazir's plot to seize Carla's Underworld factory dragging old rivals into a fresh fight, Carla Leanne tension is back on Coronation Street.
Britain's longest-running soap is reviving the rivalry between Carla Connor-Swain and Leanne Battersby.
According to Digital Spy, Junade Khan, who plays Idris Nazir, revealed the news to Inside Soap.
The pair once clashed over Peter Barlow and are now at odds for a different reason.
As Idris wants to take over Carla's Underworld factory, he has already recruited Brody Michaelis to sabotage it from inside.
By setting off the factory's sprinkler system, Brody flooded the building and ruining stock and machinery.
And while she is staying quiet to protect him, Leanne has worked out what Idris is doing.
"There are a few catfights! They've had quite a lot of fights in the past, haven't they? I recently shot a scene with them where Brody says they've got Jurassic history!", Khan told Inside Soap.
At the time of writing, Idris and Leanne are together.
That said, the show is preparing to revisit secrets from her past, as without giving further detail, Khan teased more is coming.
In the soap, Idris Nazir is played by Junade Khan and is Leanne Battersby's partner.
Currently, he is plotting to take over Carla Connor-Swain's Underworld factory.
