Emrhys Cooper, the talented actor from Coronation Street, has recently been involved in a troubling storyline. In a recent interview, he opened up about the personal connection he has to this plot. It turns out that his own parents were once members of a cult, which started off with good intentions but quickly took a darker turn.
In recent episodes, viewers saw Leanne Battersby meeting the charming Rowan from The Institute. This happened after her stepson Simon Barlow's court appearance for drink driving. As Rowan left, he flashed her a smile that made her blush. Emrhys, who is also known for his role in Desperate Housewives, shared that this storyline hits close to home for him.
"One of the situations that happened that is similar to my storyline, without giving too much away, is that my parents did wind up in a cult," he revealed. "But it was more of a wellness and fitness cult, with a spiritual aspect to it. It presented itself as a way to work out and feel good mentally, but as they got further and further in and gave more money, it became more sinister."
Emrhys went on to explain how the cult tried to separate his parents by making them participate in sexual exercises with other members. This was a cause of concern for his father, who had to touch another woman, and his mother, who was asked to do a certain activity with someone else. Eventually, his parents realized that this program was not what it seemed, and they were kicked out by the cult's leader.
In the upcoming episodes, viewers will see Nick Tilsley's uneasiness about Leanne getting drawn in by Rowan's influence. Actor Ben Price, who plays Nick, shared his thoughts on this development. "Leanne is normally like, 'I think that's a load of s***' at first, and it's probably Nick going, 'No, no, give it a chance, give it a chance.' But she's not in this," he said. "She's fully invested. Nick is a bit like, 'You're more cynical, Leanne, than me. You're not being very cynical about this man.' And I don't get to see him. It almost becomes this man I'm not seeing, and he's taking her away to do the course and he's taking her to Zooms in another room."
The upcoming episodes will surely keep viewers on the edge of their seats as they watch Leanne's involvement with The Institute deepening and Nick's growing concerns about it. And as we eagerly await the next developments in this gripping storyline, we can't help but wonder how the new boss of Coronation Street will save the iconic soap and bring it back to its best.
