Coronation Street star quits after just months – and already has their next job lined up

ok.co.uk:

Coronation Street actor Emrhys Cooper, who plays The Institute’s villainous Rowan Cunliffe, is leaving the cobbles later this year, after joining the soap four months ago.

During his time in Weatherfield, Rowan has groomed Leanne Battersby, drawing her into his cult and secretly recording her innermost secrets, and he has also blackmailed Leanne’s sister Toyah and Nick Tilsley after he discovered their affair.

However, Rowan won’t be thinking up many more nefarious plans for the residents of Coronation Street as he is set to leave the soap for good later this year.

According to a source who spoke to The Sun: “Emrhys has been a great addition to the street but he does play a dastardly villain and so his story always had a beginning, a middle and an end.” “Rowan’s going to get even worse over the next few months and the story’s nowhere near its ending just yet but he will be saying goodbye to the cobbles.The question is whether he gets his comeuppance or how many more lives he destroys before he leaves?" Rowan joined Corrie in March, when he quickly charmed Leanne at one of his seminars at the Chariot Square Hotel.
