Leon is a fictional character in Coronation Street, playing the part of the new love interest for Sean Tully (Antony Cotton). Leon made his first appearance on 3 July 2009 after he and Sean, saw eye-to-eye at the gym while Sean was attending with Jason Grimshaw (Ryan Thomas).
A few weeks later, he told Leon that Jason was his boyfriend but then after talking to Julie Carp (Katy Cavanagh) he decided to tell Leon that Jason had 'dumped' him and tried to ask him out, however it was revealed that Leon wasn't into camp men.
Leon was captain of a gay football team which Jason joined, oblivious to this fact. Leon told Sean at a celebration party that he had fallen for Jason. Sean knew that his lies had gone too far and revealed to him that Jason was straight. Leon was still not convinced. However, after a drunk Jason regained consciousness after winning the 'Mr. Gay Weatherfield' award, he began to wonder where he was. Leon was shocked and Sean quickly left with a heavily drunk Jason.
In September 2009, Leon turned up at Jason and Tina's house-warming party and angrily told Jason that he was disqualified from the Mr. Gay UK competition as he wasn't 'one of his people' and accused Jason of homophobia, all thanks to Sean's lies going too far.
