Leanne Battersby has taken on the role of a recruiter for The Institute, a sinister cult that has been causing concern in Coronation Street. Her involvement in the cult has caused worry for her sister Toyah Battersby and partner Nick Tilsley, who have noticed her increasing dedication to the group. They were initially disturbed by the large amount of money Leanne was spending on "sessions" with the cult's recruiter, Rowan Cunliffe. But things took a more concerning turn when they discovered that Leanne had been communicating with an AI version of her deceased son, Oliver, after confiding in Rowan about her grief.
Recently, Toyah became even more worried when she caught Leanne showing Amy Barlow videos from The Institute. She feared that Amy, who is still vulnerable after being raped by Aaron Sandford, would also fall under the cult's influence. Despite Toyah's warning, Amy insisted that she was an adult capable of making her own decisions. However, Leanne's involvement in The Institute's recruitment efforts became clearer when she revealed to Rowan that she had shared all her personal information with him.
In the upcoming scenes, Leanne offers to spend the day taking care of Toyah after her hospital visit. But her plans are interrupted when Rowan asks her to attend a taster session for new recruits. Toyah agrees to accompany her, and they are both surprised to find Amy at the Chariot Square Hotel, where the session is being held. It is clear that Leanne was in a vulnerable state when Rowan approached her, especially with her son Simon Barlow's recent troubles. She had also opened up to Rowan about her past traumas, including the death of her son Oliver.
Meanwhile, actor Emrhys Cooper, who plays Rowan, reveals that Leanne has chosen to ignore the warning signs about The Institute. He hints that there will be more twists and turns before she realizes that the cult may not be what it seems. With Amy also in a vulnerable position, it is uncertain if she too will fall into The Institute's trap. As the cult continues to target vulnerable individuals, it is important to stay informed about the latest developments.
