Coronation Street viewers were left threatening to switch off after some big scenes between Leanne and Rowan.
Tonight on the ITV soap, fans were horrified by Rowan’s treatment of Leanne.
He blindfolded her and led to her to the middle of a circle where men and women were sat around her
and started to shout abuse at her and tell her of all her shortcomings and wrongdoings, leaving fans struggling to watch what was going on.
He later urged her to call herself worthless, before declaring she wanted to be free.
It left her devastated and she broke down in tears, before being embraced by the people who had been shouting abuse at her.
After watching the scenes, one fan wrote: “Wtf the institute has taken a rather dark turn #corrie,” whilst a second added: “Obsessed with tonight’s cult scenes in #Corrie they’ve really turned it up a notch now.” A third penned: “Gosh this is awful!”
Actor Emrhys Cooper has warned Leanne will soon become aware of Rowan’s criminal past – as he is hiding things from her.
He told The Mirror : “We are going to find out more about Rowan. He’s had an interesting and dark past, he’s been involved in crime, a very chequered past and he was saved by the institute. So he turned his life around thanks to the institute and he’s grateful cos it got him a new life, but you will learn more about Rowan very soon.”
On the cult and its impact, he added: “It happens way more frequently than we realise, it’s a slow burn. It’s not right away. [Leanne is a] Battersby, it took a lot of work for Rowan to get her in. I think it’s very realistic.”
Emrhys explained Rowan’s mindset behind what he’s doing – and how he really believes he’s doing things for the right reason.
“In Rowan’s defence he’s doing it for the greater good and he believes he’s helping Leanne and Amy. But I would definitely be a little nervous if I had revealed a lot of my past to someone like Rowan. It could be used against Leanne and Amy, that’s something to watch out for, pay attention,” he said of Rowan’s motive behind what he’s doing to Leanne.
Coronation Street viewers were left reeling after the intense scenes between Leanne and Rowan on the latest episode. The tension between the characters reached a boiling point as Rowan subjected Leanne to emotional abuse in a disturbing cult-like setting.
As fans watched in shock, unable to look away, the dark turn that the storyline has taken left many speechless. The manipulation and control that Rowan exerts over Leanne is both chilling and captivating.
Actor Emrhys Cooper provided some insight into Rowan’s character, revealing that there is more to him than meets the eye. With a troubled past and a hidden criminal history, Rowan’s intentions may not be as noble as they initially seem.
The impact of cults and their destructive influence is being portrayed in a realistic and nuanced manner in the show. The gradual escalation of Rowan’s manipulation of Leanne is a stark reminder of how vulnerable individuals can be drawn into such dangerous situations.
As the storyline unfolds, viewers can expect to see the true extent of Rowan’s manipulation and the danger it poses to Leanne and Amy. The upcoming episodes promise to delve deeper into the dark secrets that Rowan is hiding and the sinister motives behind his actions.
