Coronation Street’s Jane Danson has reunited with Emrhys Cooper, who recently left the show.
For the majority of this year, Jane’s alter-ego Leanne Battersby was part of a storyline that saw her embroiled in a cult called The Institute, led by Emrhys’ character Rowan Cunliffe.
Because Rowan manipulated Leanne into believing the organisation was passionate about helping others, she sadly never came to realise the dark truth about Rowan until towards the end.
After months of brainwashing, Leanne drew young Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney) into the fold, and convinced her to invest her inheritance into a new resource centre.
However, it turned out to be a scam, and Amy lost everything.
After finally seeing The Institute for what it really was, Leanne made it her mission to get justice for herself and Amy and see Rowan pay for his crimes.
It led Amy and Leanne to attend Rowan’s court hearing. There, they told the judge and jury exactly what Rowan had put them through, while facing tough cross-examination from the defence lawyer.
The defence’s tactic was to make out that Leanne had been the one to instigate everything, though she adamantly denied the allegations, arguing that Rowan was the one to blame.
Having been put through the ringer, Leanne ended up lashing out at Rowan from the stand, revealing that he had taken everything from her.
Rowan was quick to clap back, insisting that he couldn’t be blamed for Nick and Toyah’s infidelity.
Though Leanne was worried that her outburst in court had ruined her case, she was later relieved to discover that Rowan had been found guilty, and Amy was thrilled to be getting some of her money back.
Following Rowan’s departure, Emrhys is now appearing in panto, where he recently reunited with Jane.
