Emrhys Cooper, best known for playing cult leader Rowan Cunliffe on Coronation Street, has announced his next career move. The 40-year-old actor will appear in the upcoming Hallmark Channel film Caught by Love, alongside Rachel Leigh Cook and Luke MacFarlane.
Cooper shared the news on Instagram, posting the film's poster and writing: 'Come take a trip with us. So excited to share Caught by Love, coming soon to @hallmarkchannel. Dig this poster artwork featuring our two incredibly talented leads @therachelleighcook and @lukemacfarlane.' He did not reveal details about his character.
The official plot summary for Caught by Love states: 'While on a journey of self-discovery, a resort guest gets swept into an undercover investigation for stolen jewels that turns into an unexpected and adventurous romance.'
Cooper joined Coronation Street in early 2024 as the head of a dubious organisation called The Institute. His character Rowan wreaked havoc in Weatherfield, targeting Leanne Battersby and Amy Barlow, among others. Rowan was eventually exposed and convicted of blackmail and fraud, leading to Cooper's exit from the soap.
Since leaving the cobbles, Cooper has taken on the role of Damien in the series Hollywood Heartthrob and appeared in the Emmy-winning series The Bay. His other credits include Desperate Housewives, Person of Interest, and CSI: NY.
