In a revealing interview, Coronation Street star Ella Mulvin has opened up about the profound impact filming her current storyline as Amy Barlow has had on her in real life. Amy’s character finds herself ensnared in the sinister cult known as The Initiative, and next week’s episodes will see her subjected to a harrowing “malware” session. During this ordeal, Amy is blindfolded and surrounded by a group that hurls insults at her based on confessions she made to Rowan, whom she mistakenly thought she could trust.
Mulvin has shared that the intensity of these scenes was unlike anything she has experienced before. She described the filming process as deeply unsettling. “I’ve never filmed anything like this,” Mulvin admitted. “It was an incredibly surreal experience. I chose not to wear the blindfold until we were actually shooting because I wanted to capture that raw sense of discomfort. When you repeat a scene too often, it can become almost too comfortable, losing its impact. Even during rehearsals, it felt off because it’s so unnatural to walk into a room and stand in the middle of a circle while being shouted at.”
When the cameras rolled, the emotions felt very real to Mulvin. “I ended up crying as Amy, but it wasn’t just acting; it felt genuine because you’re disoriented, you don’t know where you are, and you can’t recognize the voices around you. It’s designed to make Amy feel as vulnerable and uneasy as possible. Rowan uses this to break her down so that she becomes more dependent on him,” she explained.
This emotionally charged storyline might signal a pivotal shift in The Initiative arc, especially with Tracy’s character stepping up to confront Rowan. Tracy’s involvement brings a new layer of tension, as she is determined to take Rowan down, and she’s not someone to be underestimated.
Mulvin’s candid remarks about the filming process underscore how deeply the scenes have impacted her, reflecting the powerful and unsettling nature of Amy’s storyline. Fans will need to stay tuned to see how this intense drama unfolds and if Tracy’s quest for justice will indeed bring Rowan’s machinations to an end.
