Contents 1 Storylines 2 Development 2.1 Reintroduction 2.2 Domestic violence against Leanne Battersby 3 Reception 4 See also 5 References 6 External links Storylines Simon is born in July 2003 to Lucy Richards ( Katy Carmichael ), who had already split up with Simon 's father Peter Barlow ( Chris Gascoyne ). On learning that he had married his girlfriend, Shelley, when they had married first - she told Shelley that her marriage was illegal. In revenge, Lucy tricked Peter into thinking they had a future together, then, in front of pub regulars, announced she and Simon were emigrating to Australia. Peter resigned himself to the fact that he would never know Simon, and left the Street soon after. Peter is given custody of Simon when Lucy died from ovarian cancer in October 2008 and they move in Peter 's father, Ken Barlow ( William Roache ), his wife Deirdre Barlow ( Anne Kirkbride ) and her mother Blanche Hunt ( Maggie Jones ). Peter, at first reluctant to take an active role in raising Simon, changes his mind when he found out that Lucy had left her estate to him, on the condition that he raises Simon. Peter buys the local bookmaker 's shop and moves in there, with Simon. Peter 's drinking problem becomes evident when he comes to Simon 's Nativity play, drunk and has a row with teaching staff in December 2008. Simon stays with Ken, Deirdre and Blanche until Peter agrees to stop drinking, but in March 2009, Peter passes out with a lit cigarette in his hand, and the flat caught fire. Luke Strong ( Craig Kelly ) and Tony Gordon ( Gray O'Brien ) break the door down, after Deirdre alerts them as Simon had telephoned her before he passed out due to smoke inhalation. Peter and Simon are rushed to hospital and made a full recovery. Peter vows once more to give up alcohol. Learning that he had a grandson, Peter is surprised to meet Lucy 's father, George Wilson ( Anthony Valentine ) in November 2009. He had separated from Lucy 's mother when she was very young and their relationship had suffered but George is determined not to make the same mistake with Simon and Peter 's girlfriend Leanne Battersby ( Jane Danson ) persuades Peter to allow George and his partner, Eve, access. George also invests in the bar that Peter and Leanne intended to open but Ken 's worst fears came true when Peter falls off the wagon again and George wins interim custody of Simon in February 2010. In March 2010, while on holiday in Blackpool, Simon runs away after hearing George telling Eve that he intends to take Simon down to Kent to live and he makes his way home alone, scaring everyone in the process. While Peter and Leanne are proud that Simon travelled all that way alone, they made sure he knew that was very wrong. Simon is devastated when Blanche died in May 2010. In August 2010, Simon had a fight with Aadi Alahan ( Zennon Ditchett ) whilst playing a game and Aadi hits his head on a table, leading him to be rushed to hospital when he fell unconscious. Simon does not tell anyone and feels guilty over the incident, while Aadi 's parents Dev ( Jimmi Harkishin ) and Sunita Alahan ( Shobna Gulati ) accuse Claire Peacock ( Julia Haworth ) of negligence. Simon revealed the truth about Aadi 's injury after Peter questions him about his erratic behaviour. Peter tells Dev and Sunita the facts, clearing Claire 's name. In December 2010, Peter was in the Joinery bar when it exploded and causes part of the viaduct to collapse and a tram comes off the viaduct, crashing into the Corner Shop and The Kabin : the results of the destruction brought down a power line ( plunging the street into darkness in the process ), destroyed the post box and set No. 13 on fire. Simon is found at home and rescued by Jason Grimshaw ( Ryan Thomas ). He is devastated to find Peter on his death - bed, but relieved when Peter pulled through ; his severe injuries left Peter temporarily unable to walk. Simon is thrilled when Peter and Leanne renew their vows in February 2011. In June 2011, Simon meets Stella Price ( Michelle Collins ), her boyfriend Karl Munro ( John Michie ) and her daughter Eva Price ( Catherine Tyldesley ). Stella is revealed to be Leanne 's mother at Leanne 's birthday in July 2011. Simon is impressed and Stella later gets him a Nintendo DS game for his birthday. Just before Christmas 2011, Peter begins a clandestine affair with Carla Connor ( Alison King ), and Simon is devastated when Leanne, learning the truth, leaves the Street in February 2012. Simon gives Carla a frosty reception when she moves in, insisting that he wants Leanne back and spends as much time as he could at Ken and Deirdre 's house. Peter, however, does everything he can to make Simon spend more time with Carla, in the hope that Simon will warm to her. Eventually, however, in July 2012, Peter allows Simon to go and live with Leanne, and Peter and Carla leave the country as Peter took an opportunity to sail a yacht from Southampton down to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. Simon lives with Leanne and her boyfriend Nick Tilsley ( Ben Price ) until Peter and Carla return in December 2012, out of the blue, just as they are about to leave for Las Vegas, where Leanne and Nick plan to get married but Simon now refuses to leave as he wants to see Peter, so they stay. Carla is unhappy as they had only planned to stay in Weatherfield for a couple of days but Peter ca n't bring himself to leave Simon again so Carla returns to Los Angeles alone. Leanne and Nick reschedule their marriage for Christmas Day 2012 but after what Peter said on her hen night, Leanne visits Peter and suggests they get back together but Carla has returned and is having none of it ! She runs back to the car and plans to marry Nick but before she can say `` I do '', Eva proclaims what Leanne had done that morning and Nick refuses to go through with the wedding. Simon is devastated and blames Carla. In November 2013, Simon fell victim of a happy slapping attack, orchestrated by Faye Windass ( Ellie Leach ) and Grace Piper ( Ella - Grace Gregoire ). He was beaten, forced into a dress and then had lipstick forced over his face. He is later delighted, however, when Peter and Carla hire Tina McIntyre ( Michelle Keegan ) as Simon 's nanny. Simon confides in Tina about the happy slapping attack, which later leads to Faye and Grace being questioned by the police. Unknown to Carla nor Simon, Peter begins an affair with Tina, which is n't revealed until May 2014. In June 2014, Carla 's brother, Rob Donovan ( Marc Baylis ), later confronts Tina and attacks her in her own home, leading to an argument on the balcony of her flat. After a scuffle, Rob pushes Tina away, causing her to lose her balance and plummet onto the cobbles below. Tina survives the fall, but Rob later beats her with a metal pipe, when she threatens to tell the police that he tried to kill her. Tina later dies in hospital, devastating Simon, who believes that Peter murdered her. Peter 's relationship with Simon thaws a little and he promises him that he did not kill Tina. However, in July 2014, Simon is even more devastated when Peter is arrested and charged on suspicion of killing Tina. When Ken returns from Canada in August 2014, he persuades Simon to go and visit Peter in prison. He agrees at first, but Rob, wanting Peter to plead guilty, asks Simon if he would like to go to Chester Zoo, with him, his fiancee and Ken 's daughter Tracy Barlow Kate Ford ) and her daughter Amy Barlow ( Elle Mulvaney ). Leanne eventually takes Simon to visit Peter, but he does not want anything to do with him, after discovering that he has been drinking. Simon is devastated when Peter ends up in hospital and eventually believes that he did not kill Tina. Maddie Heath ( Amy Kelly ) begins to babysit Simon and he also shares a bond with Deirdre 's dog, Eccles. In September 2014, when Amy thinks that Eccles loves Simon more than she loves her, she tells Tracy that Eccles bit her. Tracy tells Deirdre that Eccles must be put down but Amy is later forced to tell truth, horrifying Simon. When Rob and Tracy go on a week 's holiday in Swansea, Amy 's father, Steve McDonald ( Simon Gregson ), asks Ken to babysit Amy for the night, the same night that Deirdre had agreed to babysit Simon. When they arrive together, they immediately clash and when Simon unfolds the sofa into a bed, Amy sits on him. Deirdre, unable to cope with Amy 's behavior, sends her back to the Rovers, much to Simon 's delight. After the explosion at Victoria Court in May 2015, Simon is unaware that Leanne 's partner, Kal Nazir ( Jimi Mistry ), has died after saving Amy from the fire. He learns Kal has died from Kal 's mother, Yasmeen Nazir and Simon is devastated. In June 2015, when Leanne asks Simon to do a simple job whilst sorting out Kal 's belongings with Kal 's children, Alya and Zeedan Nazir, Simon refuses. Simon later storms out of the flat and when he returns, Leanne is annoyed that Simon has eaten and she asks him to wash up. When Leanne tries to talk to Simon about how she knows he has lost Lucy, Simon angrily points out she died and he throws a remote at Leanne. Leanne takes Simon to the Barlows house and when asked about the bruise, Leanne lies that it was caused by a cupboard door. Later, Simon apologises to Leanne and she apologises to him for what he 's been through, but she warns him he ca n't do what he did again, no matter how angry he gets. The next day, Leanne and Simon go to France to visit Leanne 's grandmother Gloria Price to forget about recent events. In July 2015, Simon is later given a shattering blow when he discovers that Deirdre died on the day of her birthday and homecoming party. Simon 's behavior and attitude towards Leanne worsens. He kicks Leanne 's leg and it causes a severe bleed in August 2015. Later he shouts in Leanne 's face, pushing her and thus beginning to scare her more. After Simon plays a game of football, Leanne says he and some of his friends can come to the Bistro for dinner. Simon 's friend peer pressures him into stealing a bottle of vodka, from which Simon and his friends get drunk. Leanne takes Simon home and tries discussing issues, but he walks out. Another row leads to a physical altercation on both sides, Leanne pushes Simon away in self - defence, unfortunately he cuts his arm as he falls to the ground. In September 2015, when Leanne and Simon argue again, Simon pushes Leanne against a table and she is later found unconscious by Dev and Mary and she is taken to hospital, with Zeedan accompanying her. Leanne finally admits to Zeedan what Simon has been doing and Leanne decides to send Simon to stay with Peter in Portsmouth. When Simon returns in November 2015, his behaviour has n't improved and he tells Eva about his time in Portsmouth and that Peter was too busy with his girlfriend. Eva informs Leanne and when Leanne tries to talk to Simon further about it, Simon storms out. Simon skips school and when Leanne returns home, she finds Simon in the flat with some friends causing chaos. Simon ignores Leanne and walks out and when he comes home, he locks himself in his bedroom. Leanne finally admits to Eva that Simon has been physically abusing her and she does n't know how much more she can take. When graffiti is sprayed outside the Bistro, Leanne believes Simon is responsible and she later finds a can of red spray paint in his bag. When Leanne confronts Simon, he makes cruel remakes about her infertility and Leanne almost hits him. Leanne arranges for Simon to live with Ken and when Leanne drops Simon at Ken 's, Simon tells Leanne that if she walks away, he will never speak to her again, but Leanne leaves him. When Amy annoys Simon with her violin, he tries to take to violin from Amy, however Ken catches them arguing and they come up with a solution. Simon ignores a text from Leanne, which makes Leanne believe she has lost Simon. Simon arrives home from school early and Robert Preston ( Tristan Gemmill ) talks to Simon in an attempt to understand how he is feeling. When Simon spots Leanne with Eva looking relaxed, he soon gets angry again. Simon and Amy are left alone at Ken 's house and Simon ends up hurting Amy. Amy tells Ken and Tracy, who contact Leanne and Leanne is encouraged by Eva Price ( Catherine Tyldesley ) to admit Simon has been hurting her. Leanne has to take Simon home and the family agree to get Simon help. Leanne arranges for both her and Simon to see a counsellor. In February 2016, Leanne encourages Simon to do football trials and Simon is successful getting onto the team. On the day of his football match, Simon insists that Leanne does n't come, however, she does and brings Ken and Zeedan. At the match, Leanne meets Tom ( Daniel Casey ) again and Simon receives taunts off a teammate. Simon hurts the boy and Leanne is horrified when Simon believes the boy deserved it. After talking to both Ken and Zeedan about her fears, Leanne decides to report Simon to the police. Despite Simon claiming it was an accident, Leanne goes to the police and she is forced to reveal that Simon abused her. The following day, the police visit Simon and Simon is taken to the station with Ken. In the interview, Simon loses his temper and he is later released on bail pending an investigation. Simon refuses to go home with Leanne and decides to stay with Ken. Later, Leanne gets a visit from Tom, who shows them footage of the incident and Leanne realises Simon was telling the truth. Leanne apologises to Simon, but he refuses to forgive her and Simon contacts his dad. Leanne gives Simon the choice of staying with Peter during the half term and he decides to go. In July 2016, after noticing Leanne has been feeling unwell, Simon confides in Amy about his fears that Leanne has cancer. Amy tries to reassure him, but he finds a message on Leanne 's phone confirming a doctor 's appointment. Simon goes to the medical centre and wants Leanne to tell him what is wrong. At home, Leanne tells him she is pregnant. Leanne avoids telling Simon about the baby 's father and he buys a baby grow. Leanne reassures Simon that he is her first child and she wo n't love him any less. In August 2016, Leanne decides to move to Liverpool with Simon. Simon takes a set of tickets, forcing Leanne to buy more and he secretly phones Nick and Leanne admits she loves him. Nick arrives at the coach station, knowing about the baby and persuades Leanne to stay. Simon is thrilled when Leanne and Nick decide to move in together and when Nick says he is the father of Leanne 's baby. In October 2016, Simon is upset when Peter fails to come and watch Simon collect an award, but is pleased when he returns. In December 2016, Simon witnesses Peter kissing his step - aunt, Toyah Battersby ( Georgia Taylor ), with his new drone. In January 2017, Peter leaves cigarettes at Leanne 's flat and Toyah attempts to take the blame, but Simon is forced to cover for her. Simon confides in Eva about Peter and Toyah 's relationship. When Leanne finds out about Toyah and Peter, and that Eva knew, she disowns them and when they attempt to apologise, Simon warns them Leanne 's blood pressure is too high. Peter allows Simon to go to a party, but his family struggle to get hold of him and he is returned home by the police after the group split and his phone died. In March 2017, when Ken is found unconscious at the bottom of the stairs, the police believe he was pushed and the family are made suspects. Simon 's mobile phone is confiscated by his teacher, but Peter gets it back and smashes it. In April 2017, Simon buys a new one and he finds a voice message from Peter, explaining he has done a bad thing and needs to leave. Leanne and Nick take the mobile phone to the police. In May 2017, Leanne decides to get Peter, Nick and Steve McDonald ( Simon Gregson ) to make up caused by the revelation that Steve is the father of Oliver, Simon 's adoptive half - brother and they bring Simon to the beach after he missed out on a trip. Simon is annoyed when Peter and Nick argue. Nick leaves Weatherfield in June 2017 and sells the flat, so Simon moves in with Peter and Toyah whilst Leanne and Oliver move in with Steve. In October 2017, Simon attempts to force Summer Spellman ( Matilda Freeman ), who has been placed into the care of Billy Mayhew ( Daniel Brocklebank ) and Todd Grimshaw ( Bruno Langley ), to smoke cigarettes he found, but Summer takes them for herself and smokes them when she is emotional. Summer is found unconscious by Amy and Simon and is taken to hospital, where it turns out she smoked spice and Billy and Todd make amends. Simon 's father, Peter and Toyah find out from the children that Simon had the cigarette. Billy is furious about what Simon did and when Peter blames Billy and Todd 's arguments for Summer 's actions, Billy beats Peter up. Simon overhears Billy and Peter talk about the attack and when social services are left satisfied with their visit to Summer, Billy and Todd, Simon tells them what Billy did. The social worker tells Billy and Todd that it will threaten the adoption. In January 2018, Simon tricks Leanne, Eva and Toyah into giving him money for false reasons to buy headphones to block out noise made by them all. Simon is expelled from school and placed in a pupil referral unit, which angers Peter and Leanne. Simon begins misbehaving and rebelling. In March 2018, he hangs around with a gang of boys and they mug Audrey Roberts ( Sue Nicholls ), who is pushed to the floor by one of the boys and is rushed to hospital. Roy Cropper ( David Neilson ), who saw the incident, tells Leanne and Peter that Simon was one of the attackers and Peter confronts Simon, who is worried that the police will be involved. He apologises to Audrey and Roy at the hospital. When Carla catches Simon with the gang and confronts them to keep away from Simon, who is taken to the factory. He is offered a job there to help Carla. Leanne and Peter are pleased that Simon is behaving well and sees him looking after Hope Stape ( Isabella Flanagan ) and Ruby Dobbs ( Macy Alabi ) after the couple, Ruby 's father Tyrone Dobbs ( Alan Halsall ) and Hope 's mother Fiz Brown ( Jennie McAlpine ) row. That night, Simon hangs around with the gang again and forced him to smash the car window, which he did and runs off with the gang. In April 2018, Simon steals money from Toyah 's purse and overhears Eva and Toyah 's deal about either of them wanting Eva 's baby. Peter and Leanne found out about Toyah 's stolen money and suspect and accuse Simon. Simon tells Toyah that he knows about hers and Eva 's deal and is going to blackmail her. Simon hangs around with Tyler Jefferies ( Will Barnett ) and they skip school together but are caught by Toyah. Simon hacks Tyler 's phone and messages Summer that Tyler lovers her. Simon picks on Summer in front of Tyler, who realises that Simon went on his phone to message Summer. Toyah tells Peter that Simon is blackmailing her and Peter confronts Simon, getting him to apologise to Toyah. When Toyah is about to go to a cottage, where Eva is to have her baby, she finds her car missing, which Simon and Tyler joyride on. Simon finds out that Toyah has rented a cottage for Eva. Toyah lies to Peter and Leanne that Simon has been helping her to take stuff for the baby so that they wo n't find out that Simon and Tyler have been joyriding. When Eva 's daughter Suzie Barlow is born, Toyah shows her to Peter and a jealous Simon. Peter announces in the pub that Suzie is born, leaving Simon frustrated. When Toyah returns with Suzie, Peter asks her to marry him, which Simon is not happy about. Simon tells Leanne that he thinks that Toyah is having a affair and that she has rented a cottage, without Peter knowing. Toyah lies to Leanne that the cottage is for her friend from Liverpool, who is having a abusive relationship. When everyone finds out about the death of Suzie 's father and Carla 's brother Aidan Connor ( Shayne Ward ), Peter tells Simon about opening up to people, which a tearful Eva overhears after they talk about Suzie. Development Reintroduction The character of Simon was re-introduced in late 2008 when his on - screen father Peter ( Chris Gascoyne ) also returned to the soap. Peter had been given custody of his son after his mother Lucy ( Katy Carmichael ) was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Both characters ' returns saw them slowly develop a father - son relationship. Domestic violence against Leanne Battersby In March 2015, it was announced that the character of Simon would be involved in a domestic abuse, with it being where Simon is the perpetrator and his mother Leanne would be the victim. Executive producer Kieran Roberts said `` It 's a really interesting story. It 's come from character, as Simon is a child who has obviously been through a very difficult few years with the death of his mother, his dad 's alcoholism and then being passed around by the adults in his life. He 's seen a lot of difficult things and he 's got some more difficult things to go through this year in the next few months. I ca n't give much away, but there is at least one other major trauma that Simon is going to have to go through. I think it 's fair to say that he 's going to come through all of this a little bit damaged. We 're going to explore how that impacts on his relationship with Leanne, and we 're going to touch on this issue of domestic violence from a child against a parent. '' Jane Danson, who plays Leanne Tilsley, said of the storyline in September 2015 that she had doubts when she heard about the domestic abuse plot `` It 's quite interesting. When they proposed this storyline, I was a bit concerned because I thought historically, as we 've seen, Leanne 's quite a strong character. I thought, ' She would n't take that from a child ! ' But the way it 's been done is quite clever. He 's a child who 's been through so much with his dad, with the alcoholism, and he 's lost so many people in his life. She 's been the one constant, so she 'll never give up on him. It 's been really great to play out, because they 've pretty much done it in real time. It 's not just been two weeks of a storyline, they 've played it out and we continue to play it out with what we 're filming at the moment. It 's been quite interesting to see a different side of Leanne as well. '' In November 2015, it was announced that Simon would lash out at Amy at Christmas as part of the domestic abuse plot. A source said that `` The Barlows are going to be central to Coronation Street in the run up to Christmas. The close - knit family will be put under extreme strain and viewers will be left wondering if they can get through the turmoil. '' Reception An article discussing young child actors published to The Guardian claimed that Bain 's performance as a child actor in the role of Simon `` seems to be the nation 's favourite ''. It also described the character as `` undeniably cute '' and `` wise beyond his years '', with `` great onscreen chemistry with his dad ''. The author opined that his father Peter 's breakup with Leanne would have been `` much more tedious '' without Simon 's performance. The same article pointed out that Simon `` has learned to be resourceful... he has survived a fire, a kidnapping, and has gone missing in Blackpool -- from where he managed to make his way back to Weatherfield. '' It also stated that when Simon `` joined forces '' with Joshua Peacock, they made `` a formidable team. '' When the character of Simon ran away whilst in Blackpool and later returned on his own to his father Peter 's doorstep, he said `` Ah 've been on two trains and a bendy bus... Nightmare. Do n't suppose there 's any chocolate milk going ? ''. An article published to The Independent opined that it was `` a line that sums up the sweet - and - sour storylines that have kept Coronation Street going for nigh on half a century : 50 years of chocolate milk and nightmares ''. Bain won the `` Best Young Performance '' award in the British Soap Awards 2011 for his portrayal of Simon.
