Let’s set the record straight: No, Monday, 23 September 2024, is not a public holiday. It might feel like it should be, sitting awkwardly between the weekend and Heritage Day on Tuesday, but that doesn’t automatically make it a day off. In South Africa, public holidays are fixed, and unless there’s a special announcement or […]

EMRHYS Cooper has been spotted back on the set of Coronation Street after his exit from the soap – leaving fans wondering if there is one final twist coming up for his character.
The actor is known for playing cult leader Rowan Cunliffe, who left Weatherfield under a cloud of suspicion when he was reported to the police for blackmail and fraud.
![FROM ITV..STRICT EMBARGO – No Use Before Tuesday 11th June 2024..Coronation Street – Ep 1129394..Wednesday 19th June 2024..Rowan EMRHYS COOPER] corners Toyah Battersby [GEORGIA TAYLOR] and hands her a copy of the NDA, suggesting she signs it.

Rowan had been recruiting locals to a group called ‘the Institute’ and fleecing them out of money.
He started off by brainwashing Leanne into joining his cult by giving her access to an AI version of her dead son Oliver.
Leanne started to progress along the ranks and participated in uploading sessions – as well as being broken down during horrific malware sessions.
She even helped Rowan convince Amy Barlow to invest her £400,000 inheritance in the cult.
But she finally started to see the light when Amy fled her malware session in tears after being disgustingly branded as a “w***e” and a “sl*g” after opening up about being raped by Aaron Sandford.
While going through Rowan’s laptop to delete any files containing personal information about her and Amy, she discovered that the cult leader had known all along her husband was cheating on her with her sister.
Rowan had been blackmailing Nick, using the information to stop him from speaking out against the Institute.
With the cat out of the bag and Nick’s relationship with Leanne ruined, he went ahead and reported the cult leader to the cops.
In what seemed to be Rowan’s final scenes on the soap he fled town after having his schemes uncovered.
But now the Sun can confirm that Emrhys has made a return to set – which means there may be a final twist coming in the cult storyline.
The actor posted a selfie on his Instagram story yesterday that was taken in the Coronation Street dressing room.
In it he was wearing Rowan’s regular costume – a grey suit paired with a nice shirt.
A source confirmed to the Sun that the soap star was filming new scenes yesterday, so the cult leader might have one final ploy up his sleeve.
Corrie has said goodbye to several cast members this year. Let's break down who's left the famous soap:
Eliza Woodrow (Savannah Kunyo) has said farewell to Corrie to start a new life in Germany.
The youngster moved to live with her dad Dom Everett, who went back on the £10,000 bribe Eliza’s grandfather Stu had offered to keep him out of her life.
Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) will bow out of the soap this summer when he loses his fight with motor neurone disease (MND) in tragic scenes.
After being diagnosed last year, the fan favourite was devastated to learn he only had months left to live.
Viewers know he is planning to take his own life to end his suffering.
Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) departed the cobbles after being offered the opportunity of a lifetime to study in America.
Though she struggled to decide with her stepdad Paul’s impending death from MND, she was convinced she had to live her life to the full.
Simon Barlow (Alex Bain) has struggled with the sudden departure of his father Peter from the cobbles.
The Weatherfield legend left his family and loved ones behind on Boxing Day, 2023, when his wife Carla Connor encouraged him to travel around the world with a friend.
Simon’s been on a downward spiral ever since and his exit could end in tragedy.
Alya Nazir is set to leave the cobbles as actress Sair Khan prepares to go on maternity leave ahead of the birth of her first child.
It looks likely she’ll be heading to Dublin after securing a lucrative new job, leaving her colleague and fling Adam Barlow behind.
Show stalwart Sue Cleaver, who plays Eileen Grimshaw, is taking a break to star in the Sister Act The Musical UK tour. She will be back filming in May once her dates on the tour come to an end.
Her character left the Street after her son Jason broke his back after falling off a moped in Asia.
HELEN Flanagan looked incredible in a white bikini as she cosied up to her new boyfriend Robbie Talbot at the Celebs Go Dating finale.
The Coronation Street star, 34, slipped into the two-piece swimsuit as she celebrated with her other co-stars at the pool party.
Helen, who dropped a huge bombshell earlier this series that she had a boyfriend on the outside, flashed a big smile next to her footballer beau, 44.
She wore the white sarong tied around her waist and completed her glam look with a full face of makeup and sleek loose tresses.
The couple looked in high spirits as they wrapped their arms around each other for the loved-up snap.
Robbie matched with his girlfriend in a classic white t-shirt and a pair of light grey shorts.
Many fans were delighted that Helen has found love again, after splitting from the father of her children, footballer Scott Sinclair in 2022.
This fan gushed: “He seems like a really nice guy and you both seem so well suited.”
A second posted: “You two are so cute together. He’s a keeper. I met my keeper nearly 11 years ago with 3 small kids. Long may it last.”
A third added: “He seems very nice, good luck to her.”
It comes after Celebs Go Dating agent Paul C Brunson slammed Helen after joining the agency when she had a secret boyfriend.
The actress was one of the famous faces who asked for Paul, Anna Williamson and Dr Tara for help to find love.
However half way through the series, Helen dropped the bombshell that she already had a man that she had fallen in love with.
Since then Helen and boyfriend Robbie Talbot have joined the agency for relationship advice.
During an appearance on Capital Breakfast today, hosts Chris Stark and Sian Welby couldn’t help but bring up Helen’s antics.
Paul said: “Through the years, because I’ve been on this one for 9 series, through the years we’ve had rumours of celebs who have walked in with partners, but we never had the proof of it.
“But here’s Helen saying “yeah I’ve got a boyfriend, and I’m in love.” I was very upset. I was very upset.
“And the reason why, is we had wasted so much time and energy and she was out here kissing other guys!”
Chris then asked: “So before then, was she treating it like an acting job? She was kissing other people, but she was playing the role in the agency . Is that how you kind of saw it?”
Paul said: “That’s exactly how I saw it.”
Earlier this week Helen revealed a huge new step in her romance with her footballer beau.
During a catch-up with social media star Ashley James, Helen admitted Robbie had stepped into the step-dad role with her three children – Matilda, Delilah and Charlie.
Helen revealed to Ashley: “He is just amazing and he treats me so well.
“He is just the sweetest guy.
“He really helps me with the kids.”
She then went on to add of his hands-on approach to her son, revealing: “He takes Charlie to nursery – he helped me the other day with the kids.
“He can’t do enough for me.”
Helen’s romance has raised a few eyebrows – and she spoke candidly about her man on Lorraine last week.
She said: “I signed up for the show at the beginning of the year, and we [she and Robbie] were dating.
“It just progressed.
“I wear my heart on my sleeve and I just wanted to come clean.”
She added: “I wanted to be true to myself.
“I am a big fan of the show, I love the show, and I wanted to get the most from the show.
“I wanted to be honest.”
Helen split with Scott Sinclair, 35, in 2022 after 13 years together. They share three kids.
