Coronation Street ended on an ominous cliffhanger tonight (Tuesday, March 18) as Rob Donovan’s storyline comes to ahead.
Rob is currently on the run since his escape attempt, having narrowly avoided death when his sister Carla Connor pushed him down the stairs.
Tonight, Carla and Lisa were getting ready for work while Betsy was trying to get back to normal, with Rob’s threat still looming.
After leaving home Carla stopped off at the cafe where she saw Rob’s ex Tracy Barlow and asked her if she’d heard from Rob. A confused Tracy said she hadn’t seen Rob in years.
Carla then gave Roy a lift to the hospital but in the parking lot she saw Rob’s prison guard girlfriend, Mandy and immediately called Lisa.
Lisa came and, while she wanted to take Mandy for questioning, Carla told her to follow her instead, in the hope it would lead her to Rob.
Meanwhile, while putting out the rubbish, Tracy was confronted by Rob in the ginnel. Although shocked, Tracy allowed him to come into her house.
Rob told her Carla tried to kill him and explained that he just needs somewhere to hide while he sorts out a passport. Tracy agrees not to call anyone, after Rob reminds her she knows what prison is like and would understand why he can’t go back.
Back at the hospital, Mandy has been taken by the police against Carla’s wishes, though Lisa assures her she’ll be the one doing the interview.
A Number 1, Tracey eventually agrees to let Rob stay the night, telling him she wants him gone by the morning.
Meanwhile, during her interview with Lisa, Mandy confesses that Rob stayed with her a week ago and stole something from her flat.
Back at Tracy’s house, after she heads to bed Rob pulls out a gun from his jacket and checks it’s loaded. What does Rob have planned for Tracy?
Kate Ford, who plays Tracy, recently spoke about Rob coming back into her life and why she allowed him into her house.
“Tracy can’t believe it, but at the same time she’s still got a bit of a soft spot for him, so she does let him come into the house without much persuasion,” Ford said.
“But she is shocked to see him and she can’t believe it. She doesn’t want to get involved in it, but she just feels bad that she’s not helping him because at a time they were in love.”
