Coronation Street fans reckon soap killer Rob Donovan could be heading back on the soap in a huge twist.
The character, played by Marc Bayliss, hasn’t been seen on screens since April 2017 from behind bars. He first made his soap debut back in July 2012 – looking for his sister Carla Connor (Alison King).
Rob soon became a firm favourite with viewers and was involved in several big storylines over the years. Fans will recall how in 2014 he murdered Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan).
