Next week on Coronation Street, Leanne Battersby finally comes to terms with the true nature of Rowan Conliff, leading to a tense and dramatic series of events. Leanne has been deeply involved with The Institute, a cult led by Rowan, and has been blind to its corruption due to his manipulation. However, her perspective begins to shift when her sister Toya is admitted to the hospital.
During Toya’s operation, Leanne receives a distressing call from Nick, which prompts her to rush to the hospital. Overwhelmed wit guilt for not being more present, she apologizes to Nick. As Leanne grapples with this personal crisis, Rowan continues his efforts to persuade Amy Barlow to remain committed to The Institute.
In the upcoming episodes, Leanne seeks out Rowan, who informs her that Amy is about to undergo a crucial “upload” session and is considering further investment in The Institute’s resource center. Leanne urges Amy to confront her trauma during this session to eliminate her negativity. However, Leanne is taken aback when shediscovers that Rowan is secretly recording Amy’s entire session.
The situation escalates when Amy, blindfolded and subjected to a “malware” session, is bombarded with insults by other cult members. Distressed by the harsh treatment, Amy eventually runs away. Tracy Barlow, upon learning of Amy’s ordeal, insists on taking the story to The Gazette and urges Leanne to convince Amy to stop Rowan’s abusive practices.
Rowan, sensing the growing dissent, points out that Leanne’s senior management position requires her to prioritize the business over her personal relationships. This puts Leanne in a difficult position, torn between her loyalty to The Institute and her concern for Amy.
With Leanne caught in this moral dilemma, the week ahead promises high tension and dramatic confrontations. Will she stand up against Rowan and expose the truth, or will she remain bound by her commitment to The Institute? Stay tuned for a week full of shocking developments on the cobbles.
