Coronation Street fans ‘work out’ what Sam and Leanne are hiding in sick Rowan twist

Coronation Street fans threatened to switch off on Tuesday after believing they had worked out what Sam Blakeman and stepmother Leanne Battersby were hiding from his dad Nick Tilsley

Coronation Street viewers believe they’ve worked out what Sam Blakeman was keeping from his dad Nick Tilsley.

If correct, Rowan Cunliffe may have claimed his next target in his sick cult storyline. After managing to reel in Leanne Battersby and isolating her from her family, he’s found a nemesis in her sister Toyah Battersby.

But amid a blackmail plot involving Toyah and Nick, Nick’s partner Leanne was seen helping her stepson Sam with something. But neither Sam or Leanne would tell Nick what was going on.

Sam had walked into the flat and asked where Leanne was, with Nick explaining she was out. Sam seemed keen to speak with her about something, and Nick picked up on this so he asked his son what was going on.

The teen claimed Leanne had said she would help him with something, adding it “didn’t matter” when asked what it was. As Nick suggested Leanne may have forgotten, he replied: “She won’t”.

As Leanne walked in, Sam asked her: “You ready?”, leaving Nick very suspicious. Leanne replied: “Yeah, give me five minutes. You get set up and I will be in in a bit.”

Nick asked: “What are you helping him with?” Leanne commented: “Oh, just something for Hope.” It was clear Nick was not buying this, confused why Sam wouldn’t tell him.

He wasn’t the only one though, as viewers watching at home believed they’d worked out what was going on. Some fans threatened to switch off, horrified by what Sam and Leanne could be hiding – with it possibly linked to Rowan.

Just weeks ago we saw Leanne speaking to an AI animation of her tragic son Oliver, who sadly died in 2020. The sickening twist left fans horrified, and now they think Leanne and Rowan are targeting Sam.

Sam’s mother Natasha Blakeman was murdered in 2021, and now fans believe Leanne is “helping” Sam by, with the help of Rowan, giving him an AI version of his mother. Taking to X, one fan said: “Don’t say that Sam’s got an A.I mummy on his computer.”

Another viewer asked: “Have they created an AI Natasha?” as a third said: “Oh no she’s going to AI Natasha.” A further comment read: “If I see an AI video of Natasha on Sam’s computer screen, I’m unplugging my telly right away!”
