Leanne Battersby is still missing after going missing this week, so Coronation Street is expected to include dramatic moments as Rowan Cunliffe’s new target is unveiled next week.
Next week on Coronation Street, there will likely be dramatic scenes when Rowan Cunliffe’s next target is exposed.
Those who follow soap operas will remember that Rowan, the enigmatic newcomer, singled out Leanne Battersby for his “self-improvement group” The Institute. In Leanne’s hour of need, Rowan has also been yanking her away from her sister Toyah Battersby and lover Nick Tilsley.
Using his techniques and coaching her to talk aloud about elements of her life, Rowan has been helping Leanne open up about her history and the pain she has experienced. Unbeknownst to Leanne, Rowan was secretly recording everything she said. This was a shocking revelation. Viewers will naturally remember that Toyah has been quite dubious of Rowan and has shown worry about Leanne.
This week’s scenes will see Toyah searching for a forum for former Altovalent Institute members, keen to expose Rowan. She attempts to show Leanne a post she saw that implies the Institute shouldn’t be trusted, only to find out it was removed due to legal issues.
Although Leanne dismisses it, she phones Rowan to confirm that his spiteful ex-wife did not write it and that her statements are untrue. Leanne is delighted by Rowan’s offer to give her a tour of the Institute and soon learns that he has been elevated to head of the North-West section during the call.
When Leanne tells Simon later in the week that she met a guy named Jared at the Institute who would be pleased to help him set up his food delivery service, things take an even more concerning turn. When Simon says that Jared has agreed to meet with him and would need to borrow some money, a dubious Toyah tunes in and worries that this is just another ruse.
In an attempt to validate her fears, Toyah examines Rowan’s page and saves a number on her phone. Later, she meets with Una, Rowan’s ex-girlfriend, and shares that her sister has been involved with the Institute and that she fears she may be in danger. Leanne tries to head out for the retreat later in the week, but Toyah urges her to think again.
Simon is upset as he turns to booze and avoids work, but Leanne won’t listen and departs without saying goodbye. Afterwards, Simon does a runaway without paying after becoming wasted in Tim’s taxi and puking. The dramatic aftermath, in which Rowan attacks Simon, airs next week.
In the moments that follow, Nick and Toyah are left in despair as Simon, who is obviously intoxicated, confesses he doesn’t remember anything from the day before. Meanwhile, Leanne disappears. Later, Nick tells Rowan about an event with Simon and how he wants to talk to Leanne right now. Nick is enraged by Rowan’s callous response. Shortly after, Rowan proposes to Simon that they have a conversation since he understands what it’s like to float aimlessly through life. Does he have a new objective?
