The star of Coronation Street, Emrhys Cooper, talked to Digital Spy about his impending comeback to the program.
After facing the music for his actions, the actor’s wicked character Rowan Cunliffe has been missing from our screens for the past few weeks.
Rowan, the leader of the cult, was recently accused of fraud and blackmail over his high position at The Institute.
While some fans questioned whether Rowan’s journey was coming to an end, Emrhys recently confirmed that he was filming more scenes on Instagram by sharing a behind-the-scenes photo.
Given that Emrhys was originally expected to depart the program, this most recent appearance is probably going to wrap up the schemer’s tale.
At the Inside Soap Awards last night (September 30), Emrhys stated, exclusively speaking to Digital Spy: “He hasn’t completely done his dirty business yet.
“There might be a little bit more of a twist yet to see, so keep watching and you’ll soon see.”
Asked whether it’s important to see Rowan get his comeuppance, Emrhys replied: “I think so! It’s been so fun playing Rowan. I think he’s caused so much trouble that that would have to happen, right?”
Rowan arrived on Coronation Street in March, when he began drawing Leanne Battersby into The Institute.
Amy Barlow was also briefly involved with the cult, but she saw the true nature of their dodgy activities much more quickly than Leanne did.
Reflecting on his Corrie stint, Emrhys continued: “It’s been really fun, really exciting. It’s a very important role, important subject matter. Just spreading the awareness has been a dream come true.
“There was lots of drama on screen, but off screen there was lots of laughs, lots of love. I made some really good friends and I enjoyed it all, really. Every day was a pleasure.
“I felt very comfortable with the actors I worked with. They gave me so much, so it was a really beautiful experience that I’ll always treasure.”
Asked who else Rowan could have tried to recruit, Emrhys laughed: “Just the people with the most money, really! It would have been fun to do Ken! But I think it’s the dollar amount – the most money would have been the most appealing.”
