Coronation Street Rob Donovan returns for last confrontation in armed siege as victim ‘confirmed’

A gunshot will ring out as Rob picks his target to confront back in Weatherfield

has confirmed that Rob Donovan will return to the cobbles for one last confrontation which ends with a gunshot ringing out in Weatherfield.

As fans of the ITV soap know, Carla Connor is currently recovering from her recent kidney transplant and being kidnapped by her own brother after he only agreed to be a donor in order to escape prison where he’s behind bars for killing Tina McIntyre back in 2014.

Carla’s health was in decline in scenes aired in January as she was rushed to hospital with sepsis. She was informed by a doctor she’d have to undergo a kidney transplant, having first had one after her half-brother Aidan donated the organ back in 2018.

It was later Rob who came to Carla’s rescue after he was approached by his son, Bobby Crawford. But earlier in February, fans were horrified when Carla was woken from her recovery by prison officer Mandy, who believed she was in a loving relationship with Rob, when really it was all for his own gain.

The drama eventually saw Rob use DS Lisa Swain to get to the abandoned office block where Mandy was waiting with a poorly Carla. He was shocked to find out about Mandy’s pregnancy and realising she had been used, she left.

Rob attempted to follow suit. But Carla found the energy to push her brother down the stairs and a weakened Rob as a result of his surgery saw him fall over the balcony, with Lisa finding him at the bottom.

Lisa declared Rob dead and prioritised getting Carla back to the hospital. But when Kit Green returned to the scene, he was told Rob has gone. Carla is now back at home after the ordeal but things still aren’t plain sailing for Carla and her family as Rob’s still on the run.

Now, a new trailer that teases what’s to come on the cobbles in March has confirmed Rob’s shock return to the Street. He will return to Weatherfield to seek out his sister Carla and demand she helps him escape.
