Coronation Street: Rowan and the Institute

Rowan and the Institute have become Leanne’s latest obsession as Toyah worries about the influence it’s having on her sister.

She reckons that Rowan is scamming Leanne, desperate to bring the Institute – and Rowan – down.

However, Leanne won’t listen to Toyah’s warnings, with Toyah being pressurised into signing an NDA. She’s agreed never to write or say anything defamatory about the Institute again.

This comes after Rowan secured an image of Nick and Toyah kissing, blackmailing Toyah into signing the agreement. If she didn’t, Leanne may find out about her affair…

The star shared: “I think he had a very dark and checkered past which is going to come out.

“He discovered this organisation [the Institute] and it did help turn his life around, but they have a lot of information on him because Rowan has done an upload and his upload was probably quite juicy. So, he might be scared to leave the cult. I think he’s in deep.”

He then added: “The cult has saved his life, he believes by getting these people in the organisation, he’s going to be saving them.” But, is he really a ‘victim?’ What will his ‘dark’ past reveal? What secret does he not want getting out?
