Coronation Street affair ‘exposed’ as cult leader Rowan takes his revenge
ROWAN Cunliffe has finally shown his true colours after he ‘exposed’ Nick and Toyah’s illicit affair.
The leader of The Institute has been on the warpath against Toyah after she spoke out against him and his practises after she became convinced that he was brainwashing her sister, Leanne.
It resulted in him taking her to court where Leanne failed to speak up in support of her sister.
She was left facing a huge bill all whilst dealing with the discovery of her daughter Rose’s dead body and her upcoming funeral.
With mounting legal costs, Toyah was left facing a pauper’s funeral for her daughter until Leanne managed to secure the funds in secret from Rowan.
Leanne told Toyah that she had user her own savings to be able to afford the funeral and it appeared as though the sisters may eventually reconcile.
However, when Rowan turned up just before the funeral, Toyah was left shocked that Leanne failed once more to have her back.
As Leanne went on to confess that it was really Rowan who paid for the funeral, Toyah went ballistic as she fumed at him continuing to have a hold on her.
Toyah insisted that Leanne would never be able to see his true colours as the sisters were left at war.
Later on, after Toyah suffered even more run-ins with Rowan, she was left seeking closeness and comfort in the form of brother-in-law Nick.
Although they have already kissed one another, Toyah opted to take things further as she and Nick got intimate behind Leanne’s back.
Their passion began on the flat’s balcony where an unidentified individual could be seen snapping away on his phone as he got a slew of pictures of Nick and Toyah embracing.
As the episode drew to a close and yet ANOTHER run-in between Toyah and Rowan, she was left mortified when she received a text message with a photo of her kissing Nick.
As she looked at the photo, she exclaimed in despair: “Oh no! I had a feeling I was being followed, didn’t I?”
Toyah added: “This is Rowan! He hinted at it just now, he is trying to get back at me for not signing that NDA.
Nick looked shell-shocked as he saw the photo before he said: “He just needs to press send then my life is over.”
Will Rowan send the photos to Leanne?
Or will this be the start of a long-running blackmail plot?
