Rob Donovan’s return to Coronation Street has already hinted at chaos, but now, the latest spoilers confirm more drama. The man who was once dangerous is portraying himself as a changed man and claiming that he has found God. But is it all genuine? Or is there a bigger plan at work behind his actions?
Rob’s sister, Carla Connor, is in desperate need of a kidney transplant after suffering severe kidney damage from sepsis. When Rob’s nephew, Bobby Crawford, visits him in prison to plead for his help, Rob initially refuses. The pair had parted on bad terms, and it seemed as though there was no way forward for them.
However, in an unexpected change of heart, Rob later declared that he had found God and wanted to donate a kidney to Carla if he was a match. While his newfound religion seemed to be a motivation, fans can’t help but wonder if his sudden willingness to help is part of a larger scheme.
Rob Escape Plans Hit A Roadblock
Carla informs her girlfriend, Lisa Swain, that if Rob is a match, the surgery will proceed. But due to the cost of keeping a prisoner in the hospital, the tests will be conducted in the prison. When Carla relays this to Rob, his reaction says it all: He is not too happy with the news. Seeing his reaction, we can’t help but wonder why he is so irritated by this sudden news. Was he hoping to use the hospital transfer as a way to get outside prison?
The recent revelations about Rob’s illegal affair with prison guard Mandy suggest that this might not be as far-fetched as it seems. With her help, he is probably planning to use the hospital visit as an escape opportunity. If so, then having the tests done inside the prison would spoil the plan.
However, if Rob’s ultimate plan is to escape, what does this mean for Carla? Will he still be willing to donate his kidney to Carla if his escape plan fails? Only the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers can reveal. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
