Coronation Street's Leanne Battersby star says there's 'trouble ahead' as downfall 'begins'

Coronation Street star Jane Danson has said there is 'trouble ahead' as Rowan Cuncliffe's downfall seemingly begins in the ITV soap. As viewers know, Leanne Battersby and her mentor have been trying to encourage Amy Barlow to join The Institute and part with her inheritance.

In scenes aired on Monday night (August 26), Leanne was seen seeking out Rowan who explained that Amy was doing an upload and was reconsidering investing in the resource centre and he urged Leanne to lean on her partner Nick Tilsley to do the same.
