Coronation Street Shocker: Unexpected Character to Unmask Rowan – And It’s Not Leanne or Amy!
Coronation Street's latest episode saw one character stand up to villain Rowan Cunliffe on the ITV soap ahead of the villain's exit, and now his downfall may have been sealed
In Wednesday night’s episode of Coronation Street, tensions rose as one character took a bold stand against Rowan Cunliffe’s sinister scheme, signaling a possible downfall for the manipulative figure ahead of his exit from the ITV soap.
Rowan has been preying on the residents of Weatherfield, luring them into his so-called ‘self-improvement institute,’ which is nothing more than a front for a cult. Leanne Battersby has fallen victim to his deceit, much to the dismay of her husband, Nick Tilsley, and her sister, Toyah Battersby. While Toyah has been trying to unmask Rowan’s true intentions, Leanne remains under his influence, for now.
Amy Barlow has also found herself in Rowan’s sights, contemplating an investment in his dubious scheme. But with Rowan’s departure from the show imminent, it seems a surprising character may be poised to bring his nefarious activities to light.
Toyah, who has been fervently working to expose Rowan, is grappling with her ovarian cancer diagnosis, which may limit her ability to take him down. Meanwhile, Amy and Leanne may not be the ones to trigger Rowan’s downfall, nor Aadi Alahan, who has been trying to dissuade Amy from investing.
The most recent episode hinted that it could be Nick who finally unmasks Rowan. After enduring weeks of blackmail over his affair with Toyah—complete with incriminating photos—Nick decided he had enough. Rowan overplayed his hand, continuing to demand hush money from Nick and threatening to reveal everything to Leanne. But when Rowan sent a threatening voice message, Nick seized the opportunity. Armed with evidence of Rowan’s extortion attempts, Nick threatened to go to the police, refusing to pay another penny.
As Rowan began to squirm under the pressure, Nick’s bold stand suggested that the cracks in Rowan’s facade are starting to show. Could this be the moment that leads to Rowan’s entire scheme unraveling?
