Leanne Battersby makes a horrifying discovery about cult leader Rowan in Coronation Street

LEANNE Battersby looks set to make a scary discovery about Rowan Cunliffe amid the ongoing bizarre cult storyline.

Over the past few months, the Weatherfield resident has found herself under the spell of Rowan and The Institute.

She has been head over heels into the group and has so far managed to ascend beyond a level seven in the wacky plot.

ITV viewers have seen Leanne enjoy uploading sessions as well as be broken down during the horrific malware sessions with the Bistro worker having little regard for the fact it could be part of one big dodgy scam.

But the tide could be set to turn when Leanne makes a shock discovery about Rowan.

She had recently begun to debate if The Institute did hold the right values after Amy Barlow fled her chaotic malware session in tears after being disgustingly branded as a “w***e” and a “sl*g” after opening up about being raped by Aaron Sandford.

However, when Amy pleaded for her £40,000 investment back after the degrading experience, Leanne stood firm that Rowan would make the right call.

In upcoming scenes, amid the debacle, Amy receives an extremely distressing phone call which causes her to race out of the salon in horror and fear.

Later that day, Leanne opts to meet with Rowan for a discussion but he is soon called up to reception leaving Leanne alone.

With his laptop close by, she decides to look through it and soon comes across a file under her name.

She then spies an identical-looking file titled Nick and Toyah but just what exactly has Leanne discovered.

The next day, she summons Nick over to the Bistro where she demands a conversation.

What exactly has Leanne discovered and could Nick be in serious trouble?

And has Rowan finally been rumbled for good?

Most complained about soap storylines

Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous…

  • EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap’s long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners – with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it “distressing” and “horrific” but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not “unduly disturbing”.
  • Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints – Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom – but viewers didn’t like it one bit. The nation’s pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don’t mess with animal-lovers.
  • Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints – Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford – and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the “violent scenes”.
