There's really big scenes on the way on Coronation Street, including a devastating attack, a health scare and a major return. After the events of Christmas and New Year, it's a sad start to 2025 for some as a horror stabbing takes centre stage in looming weeks. The attack sees a number of residents caught up in the drama, with one youngster fighting or their life.
Elsewhere, one teen is forced to admit something devastating while there's also a hospital update for one Weatherfield favourite. This leads to the return of a major character who hasn't been on the show since 2017. Seven years since a super dramatic exit, killer Rob Donovan makes his comeback as part of his sister Carla Connor's latest health blow. Also coming up there's some what of an exit, and a proposal.
Let's kick things off with Rob's return as it's such a huge twist. The character is surprised when he's contacted in prison by his son Bobby, who is now living in Weatherfield with his aunt Carla. Things take a turn for Carla after her looming hospital dash, weeks on from an attack. With Carla soon set to find out she may need to have another kidney transplant, there's an update in January.
A shaken Carla is told by doctors that the damage to her kidney is severe and she’ll need a transplant. Bobby offers to help Carla, as does her other nephew Ryan Connor - but it's not clear if either of them are a match. Bobby soon makes a big decision to save his aunt, and he heads to the prison to speak with Rob. His criminal father, who was imprisoned seven years ago for killing Tina McIntyre, is stunned to learn about his sister and that Bobby wants him to donate his kidney - but will he agree?.
