Toya Battersby’s suspicions about her sister, Leanne’s involvement with The Institute and its leader, Rowan Kliff, continue to grow in Coronation Street.
Over the past months, Leanne has been drawn into The Institute’s self-help courses after attending one of their events with her son, Simon.
Despite objections from her loved ones, including her partner, Nick Tilsley, and her sister, Toya, Leanne persists in paying for these courses in hopes of achieving a more positive mindset.
In an upcoming episode airing on Friday, May 10th, Toya becomes increasingly concerned when Nick reveals that £200 is missing from their joint account. She immediately suspects that Leanne has spent the money on The Institute, influenced by Rowan’s manipulation. The question arises: Is Leanne handing over more money to Rowan for his questionable courses? And will Nick and Toya confront Leanne about the missing funds?
Leanne’s involvement with The Institute has raised red flags for Toya and Nick, especially as they witness her practicing dubious techniques like reality coding and uploading. Despite their efforts to express their concerns, Leanne remains convinced that The Institute is helping her, even as she unwittingly becomes a victim of Rowan’s manipulation.
The strained relationship between Toya and Leanne further complicates matters, with Leanne rebuffing Toya’s attempts to connect and support her emotionally. Toya and Nick find themselves struggling to reach Leanne, fearing that she’s getting in too deep with The Institute and its leader.
Meanwhile, recent episodes have hinted at a potential affair between Toya and Nick after they shared an intimate moment, with Toya confiding in Nick about her stillborn daughter. As tensions rise and suspicions mount, the dynamics between the Battersby sisters and their respective relationships are set to take center stage in Coronation Street.
