Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street‘s Nick Tilsley will suspect Leanne Battersby of an affair with Rowan Cunliffe in new scenes on the soap.
Leanne is getting increasingly drawn into The Altovalent Institute, which Rowan is a part of, as sister Toyah grows suspicious and worried for her sibling.
Ben Price, who plays Nick, has now revealed that his character will grow concerned about Leanne and her closeness with Rowan, admitting he is “definitely” jealous of the relationship.
“[Rowan]’s a good-looking guy and I think actually Nick is just a bit jealous. It starts to occur to him that maybe she’s having an affair,” he explained.
“He’s not happy about what’s going on in one respect, but he’s also not happy about what a good-looking guy Rowan is and the time they spend together. I think he does start to wonder what’s going on.”
Ben further explained that Nick is suspicious of Rowan’s motives, saying: “I think he just gets this vibe of it all can’t be like this. It’s all too good to be true.
“Also, Rowan’s not particularly nice to Nick, he seems like he is but Nick gets that vibe, he sees him and he knows Rowan doesn’t really want him around.”
The star revealed that Leanne is having an “emotional withdrawal from Nick” and “going out and doing something for herself”, and while Nick is supportive, he is concerned that she is “being talked into things which she never normally would be”, especially in terms of money.
Despite his worries, Nick is more torn than Toyah over the Institute, explaining: “He definitely doesn’t mind Toyah looking into it without a doubt, because he does think there is something more to it.
“Toyah’s much more invested in it and more convinced that Leanne is being dragged into something bad, whereas I think Nick is more stuck between a rock and a hard place.
