The reports say that his job starts in a few months. Back in Cobbles, Rowan’s character is set to become even more sinister in the coming months.
Although the storyline is far from over, he will eventually leave the cobbles. Will he face justice? Previously, Emrhys expressed his happiness about being starring in the show. He mentioned that after living in America for 15 years, he had been eager to return. Hence, he grabbed the opportunity immediately.
He shared that everyone was incredibly welcoming, and on his first day working with Jane and Sue, he immediately felt at home. The soap star also hoped for a redemption storyline for his character, Rowan, suggesting it would be interesting to see some growth.
