The latest Coronation Street hostage storyline has gripped fans, with tension picking up as Rob Donovan wreaks havoc on the cobbles. However, a group of viewers think that soap may have unintentionally revealed that Rob survives. Is it true? Let’s find out.
Did the Soap Spoil the Outcome?
Actor Marc Baylis, who plays Rob, was seen attending the soap’s tour just days before the big episodes aired. He posed for photos with fans, and that was enough for some to draw their own conclusions. One fan pointed out, “Not Corrie accidentally revealing Rob doesn’t die next week by having Marc do the star tour two days before kidnap week.”
Another fan said, “I would LOVE to give Corrie credit for doing this, but unfortunately, they’re not smart enough to think this far ahead.” A third chimed in, “We were told by Kate he was there for a good chunk.” Another fan said, “Like, at least maybe schedule him… idk… ANY other weekend.” Another user shared a photo with the tele scoundrel and wrote, “So lovely to see you, @Marc_Baylis. You’re iconic.”
Rob’s Decision
Regardless of the speculation, Rob is set to go to extreme lengths to avoid capture. Fresh from surgery, he launches a savage attack on a security guard, steals a uniform, and forces Carla into his escape plan. With Carla still recovering, she is powerless against his demands. Rob makes his intentions clear when he says, “There’s no way that I am going back inside. I would die before I go back to prison. And if that means taking someone with me, then so be it.”
ITV has hinted that the storyline will lead to a shooting, but they haven’t confirmed who will be caught in the crossfire. Meanwhile, changes behind the scenes are also making headlines. ITV has announced that up to 75 cast and crew members from Coronation Street and Emmerdale will soon step out. With such major shifts happening both onscreen and offscreen, it is yet to be seen if Rob’s storyline will continue with another major exit. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily to see what happens next.
