There are plenty of comings and goings on the cobbles in the coming weeks, with several Coronation Street cast changes confirmed. While fans of the ITV soap have recently seen the return of killer Clayton Hibbs (Callum Harrison) and a shock appearance from Richard Hillman (Brian Capron), as well as the final appearance of evil Joel Deering (Calum Lill) after a series of flashbacks revealed his killer and Gail Platt’s (Helen Worth) exit after 50 years, there’s set to be more hellos and goodbyes in Weatherfield.

Here’s the lowdown on who’s returning and who’s leaving…. Corrie bad boy Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) is set to return to our screens next week as Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) sets out on a mission to find Carla Connor (Alison King) a new kidney. The killer, who murdered Tina McIntyre in 2014, has been in prison for the last ten years – minus a few weeks that saw him go on the run with Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford) in 2017.

‘We last left Rob languishing in prison. He made mistakes. He comes back to the show and we think he might be a reformed character who has seen the error of his ways, but whether that’s the case or not, I don’t know!’ Producer Kate Brooks revealed.

‘He definitely comes back and causes a lot of trouble for Carla and Lisa [Swain (Vicky Myers)]. Just when Carla and Lisa think it’s safe to sit down and watch Netflix, Rob Donovan comes along and scuppers all of that. ‘So, it’s a big story for them and a big story for Rob. Lots of twists and turns. It’s a big story for Betsy [Swain (Sydney Martin) as well, who is fabulous and will be right at the centre of that.
