In a jaw-dropping turn of events on “Coronation Street,” Rowan Cliff’s nefarious scheme to recruit Amy Barlow takes a chilling step forward next week. Rowan, the manipulative cult leader, is on the verge of a significant triumph as he intensifies his efforts to draw Amy into his organization.

Rowan has been strategically using Leanne Battersby, whom he enlisted earlier in the year, to sway Amy’s interest. Leanne has already managed to get Amy to engage with the group’s materials and attend their events. Despite Rowan’s near success in persuading Amy to invest her inheritance money in the cult’s new Resource Center, Amy’s decision was initially halted by a sincere intervention from Roy Cropper. However, Rowan’s relentless pressure and his ability to manipulate situations continue to pose a threat.

In the upcoming episodes, Rowan ramps up the pressure on Amy, convincing her that investing in the Resource Center is still a viable option. Although Amy had previously hesitated about risking her grandmother’s money, Rowan’s persuasive tactics rekindle her doubts. The situation takes a dramatic turn when Amy, feeling overwhelmed by her work environment, decides to resign from her job at the Bistro. She shockingly announces to her boss, Nick Tilsley, that she should have heeded Rowan’s advice all along.

Rowan is elated by Amy’s resignation and quickly moves to arrange an “upload session” for her, further ensnaring her in his web of deceit. Meanwhile, Rowan’s manipulative influence extends to other characters as well, having already driven a wedge between Leanne and her loved ones and blackmailed Nick and Toya Battersby over their affair. The looming question is whether Amy will become the next victim of Rowan’s malevolent schemes.

El Malany, who portrays Amy, has shared insights into her character’s predicament, revealing that she would prefer to see Leanne take down Rowan rather than herself. El Malany expressed a desire to see Leanne confront Rowan and exact her revenge, hinting at upcoming dramatic developments. Fans can expect to witness more of the unsettling dynamics within the cult and gain a deeper understanding of the group’s sinister operations.

“Coronation Street” will air these pivotal scenes on Friday, August 23rd, promising a gripping continuation of Rowan’s dark plans and their impact on Amy and the rest of the street’s residents.
