Rob Donovan actor Marc Baylis has spoken out about his big Coronation Street comeback after eight years. But amid the villain pushing the story that he's a changed man, years on from him murdering Tina McIntyre on the ITV soap, is there more to his comeback? Carla Connor will be left rocked by the return of her criminal brother in upcoming scenes amid her ongoing health battle.
Carla needs a kidney transplant after being hospitalised, and Rob soon offers to be a donor. Carla is unnerved, not having spoken with Rob for a while, with the idea of him renterting her life worrying her. Amid her considering accepting Rob as a transplant donor, Rob claims to be a changed man who has found religion. He reveals his intentions with Carla and his son Bobby, suggesting he's a man who can be trusted.
But what's he really up to, and does Carla need to watch out? Actor Marc has now spoken out about the comeback and teased the truth behind his return. He appeared to confirm Rob's real plan for his sister Carla, and whether he should be given the chance to prove himself.
Marc spilled on Rob's real intentions for his sibling: "He loves his sister. Carla is the closest that he's had with any of his relationships. It's the longest relationship that he's ever had. He feels that Carla is the only person who would truly understand him, even above Tracy, because of everything that they experienced together growing up.
