This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.

It seems the end has finally come for escaped prisoner Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) after he was finally caught and arrested in last night’s dramatic episode.

Rob had been on the run ever since breaking out of hospital after donating his kidney to sister Carla Connor (Alison King).

As his situation became more desperate, he got Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford)to help him take Carla hostage by threatening her at gunpoint.

Carla was soon joined by DS Lisa Swain (Vicky Myers), who was desperate to stop her from getting hurt – so much so that she wrestled Rob for the gun.

Their tussle tragically resulted in Lisa’s daughter Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) being shot in the shoulder and rushed to hospital, with an agonising wait for news.

Unfortunately, what the doctor had to say wasn’t what Lisa or Carla wanted to hear, as he revealed that Betsy could suffer permanent loss of sensation to her arm.

This was made all the worse by the news that Rob was set to come out unscathed and make a full recovery, before being taken back to prison for an extended stay.

Devastated, Lisa fled the hospital ward and paid a visit to the one person she thought would be able to make her feel better: Rob.

It was clear she was furious from the moment she arrived, even before she asked Rob to remind her how much he hated prison just to cheer her up.

Having confessed to Carla that it was her finger on the trigger when the gun went off, meaning that she had been the one to shoot Betsy, it was no wonder that Rob’s suggestion that she should have shot him when she’d had the chance wound her up no end.

Instead of lashing out at him like he wanted, Lisa managed to maintain her composure, instead promising to give his love to Carla and thanking him for the kidney.

This pushed Rob’s buttons, and he wasted no time in warning Lisa that her girlfriend was trouble.

He lamented how she brought everyone around her down while still managing to come out on top herself.

Though Lisa tried not to show it, it was clear Rob’s warning had cast doubt on her relationship.

Returning to the ward and a worried Carla, Lisa insisted that Betsy’s injury was down to Carla and Rob, and that she never should have given her a second thought after finding out about her act of ABH last year.

Carla was devastated as Lisa spelled out that she needed to focus on Betsy, before turning her back on the factory boss.

Having caused carnage in his wake and seemingly split up Carla and Lisa, is this the last we’ve seen of Rob? Or could he already be planning his next escape attempt?
