Coronation Street’s latest episode saw one character stand up to villain Rowan Cunliffe on the ITV soap ahead of the villain’s exit, and now his downfall may have been sealed
Viewers tuning into Coronation Street on Wednesday night saw one character vow to halt Rowan Cunliffe’s villainous actions.
It could mean a downfall is set for the desperate character ahead of his exit from the ITV soap. Viewers know that Rowan has been targeting people on the street to try and get them to join his ‘self-improvement institute’ in a cult storyline.
He managed to reel in Leanne Battersby much to the horror of her husband Nick Tilsley and sister Toyah Battersby, with Toyah trying to expose his scam. Leanne may finally be realising there’s more to Rowan than she’s been duped into believing, but Rowan still has her onside for now.
He’s also targeted Amy Barlow, with her now considering investing too. But with Rowan soon leaving the show, a specific character may be about to trigger his comeuppance.
While Toyah has targeted Rowan, she’s got enough on her plate following her ovarian cancer diagnosis. Amy and Leanne also might not be the ones to bring him down, nor Aadi Alahan who tried to stop Amy from investing.

The latest episode may have teased Nick will be the one to expose Rowan and destroy him, triggering his exit from the show. After weeks of being blackmailed by Rowan over his fling with Toyah, with him having pictures of them kissing, Nick finally stood up to him.
Rowan had made a huge error as he continued to demand payments from Nick, threatening to tell Leanne everything. But after he sent Nick a threatening voice message, Nick had evidence that would prove Rowan was trying to extort money out of him.
He threatened to go to the police with the picture and the messages and expose Rowan for blackmailing him. As Rowan squirmed, Nick told him he wouldn’t be getting a penny out of him, stopping him from getting some much needed cash he clearly wants for the institute.
Does this mean Rowan is getting desperate and is in trouble? Could Nick standing up to him and having something on him be what leads to his whole act falling apart?
