Simon was feeling lost and uncertain about his future. Ever since his father, Peter Barlow, left for a new life overseas, he had been struggling to find a sense of purpose. His mother, Leanne Battersby, seemed to be distancing herself from him as she became more involved with a mysterious cult. Simon felt more alone than ever before in Coronation Street, and it was taking a toll on him.
To cope with his feelings of isolation, Simon turned to drinking and partying with his friends. However, things took a dangerous turn when he got behind the wheel of a car while under the influence and ended up putting his friend Sam Blakeman in the hospital. This wake-up call made Simon realize the destructive path he was on, but despite feeling guilty about what happened, he couldn't seem to break away from his destructive habits.
In the midst of all this, Toyah Battersby, Leanne's sister, stumbled upon a forum for ex-members of the cult her sister was involved in. She tried to warn Leanne about the dangers of the cult, but her efforts were in vain as the post was taken down for legal reasons. Leanne's continued prioritization of the cult over her family only added to Simon's feelings of abandonment.
As Leanne prepared to leave for a retreat at the cult's institute, she offered to help Simon set up his food delivery app by connecting him with a guy named Jared. Simon was ecstatic about the opportunity, but Toyah couldn't shake off her suspicions that it was all a scam. Despite Toyah's pleas, Leanne was determined to leave for the retreat and didn't even say goodbye to Simon before departing.
Feeling hurt and betrayed, Simon turned to drinking once again and ended up causing chaos by throwing up in Tim Metcalfe's cab and then running off without paying. With Toyah and Nick Tilsley now left to take care of Simon, it remains to be seen how this latest development will impact his departure from Coronation Street. Will the cult be the reason behind Simon's exit from the cobbles? Only time will tell.
