There's an interview with Marc Baylis in the Radio Times that reveals when Rob Donovan's last appearance will be. Mind you, he's not saying how it all comes down but down it will come. The fireworks on Guy Fawkes Night won't only be in the sky from the sounds of it.
The viewers know that Rob killed Tina McIntyre with a crowbar after she fell from the balcony over the builders' yard and he's been trying to keep his tracks covered ever since. Marc has a lot of good things to say about the writing and the production of the climax of the story and feels it's exactly the way it should come out.
He also hints that there's a lot of backstory between Rob and Carla set to blow up as well. “There’s a lot of stuff coming up between Rob and Carla that delves into their past but also broaches what has happened in recent times,"
I've long suspected that Carla will figure out that Rob did the deed so perhaps this is part of it. Since Marc's last appearance is in early November, it sounds as if the wedding will go ahead. Maybe. Or maybe not. Will Carla be the one to stand up at the ceremony and object? Oh I do hope so! I really want to see the smug wiped off Tracy's face when this all comes out!
I'm just speculating, but however it happens, it sounds like it will be worth waiting for!
