Viewers question oversight in character's brainwashing plot
Fans of Coronation Street have been quick to point out a 'plot error' in Leanne Battersby's current storyline involving a horror cult. The character has been manipulated by the villainous Rowan Cunliffe, leading her to become a senior member of his cult, The Institute. However, viewers have raised concerns about why no one has reminded Leanne about a similar cult storyline from the 90s involving the Cult of Nirab.
Questions raised on character's vulnerability to deception
As Leanne grapples with the values of The Institute following a distressing incident involving Amy Barlow, fans have taken to web forums to express their confusion over her susceptibility to the scam. Some have highlighted the absence of reminders from characters like Toyah or Nick about the Etheric Foundation, which was a past cult storyline on the show.
Upcoming drama in store for Leanne
In the midst of her involvement with The Institute, upcoming scenes will see Leanne stumble upon a revelation about Nick's affair with Toyah. As she delves into a file on Rowan's laptop, she uncovers information that exposes the blackmailing tactics used by the twisted character.
Coronation Street continues to captivate audiences with its intricate storylines and character developments, airing on ITV1 and ITVX.
