Rob Donovan made a tense return to Coronation Street tonight and stirred up fresh fears among those who thought they were rid of him. After his dramatic escape, Carla Connor and DS Lisa Swain hoped he was long gone. But the latest events suggest he’s still close—and he may have set his sights on someone new.
Carla Faces a Shocking Discovery
Carla has been on edge ever since Rob vanished. His escape left her looking over her shoulder, unsure if he would come back for revenge. Tonight, those fears seemed justified. She returned home from work to find her flat broken into and trashed. Money and painkillers were missing. Though reports suggested Rob had been seen in Brighton, Carla and Lisa weren’t convinced. They warned Lisa’s daughter, Betsy Swain, to be cautious and avoid going out alone.
Betsy, however, dismissed their concerns. She believed the reports that placed Rob far away and decided to carry on as usual. She brushed off the concerns, trusting the report that said Rob was nowhere near Weatherfield. Deciding to sneak out and go to a friend’s party, she left the flat alone. That choice could put her in real danger. Ignoring her mum’s warning, Betsy slipped out of the flat to meet friends. But she didn’t realise someone was watching. As she walked away, Rob appeared from the shadows.
Rob has already shown he’ll do whatever it takes to get what he wants. He used his relationship with a prison guard to plan his escape, then held Carla and Lisa hostage in a desperate bid for money. Now, with Betsy in his path, his next move remains uncertain. Is she his next target, or does he have another plan in mind? Either way, his return spells trouble for Weatherfield—and for anyone who gets in his way. It will be interesting to see what happens next in the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
