Tracy has also been trying to obtain some antibiotics this week and has been seen with a bottle of water by Adam, who quizzed her about it and she refused to answer. Tracy was also upset when she saw Dev checking on the gym last week too.
So now we know why Tracy has been acting so oddly, she's been looking after Rob!
The pictures released by ITV show Tracy letting herself into the disused gym where we see Rob emerge from the shadows battered and bruised. He's been in prison for the murder of Tina McIntyre. What's he doing out, is he on the run?

Have to say, I was pleasantly surprised to see Rob, wasn't expecting that! I've really missed him.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see Rob again, I'd love him to stay in corrie for the long run, but if he's escaped from prison, that's highly unlikely.
ReplyDeleteI know there was speculation recently about Rob's possible reappearance, but it was still a brilliant surprise. And, just what Unknown said above!
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to believe he has been released on a technicality. In fact, I'm willing to forget the whole murder. Just bring him back!
ReplyDeleteI really liked the character for most of his presence on Corrie but he'd run his course by the time he murdered Tina and went to jail. What would be the point of bringing him back long term?
ReplyDeleteHe'd just waste his opportunities as he always did. In fact, he possibly already has and is the one who assaulted Ken.
Plus,I'd hate to see the progress of Tracy's character wiped out to prop up this eternal loser.
I like your twist on Rob as a suspect in Ken's assault. What would be his motive, what do you think?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it would be anything premeditated. If Rob went to the Barlows looking for Tracy and Ken found him that would be motive enough.
DeletePre-stroke Ken would never have wanted to hide a criminal in the past so imagine how he'd react now that he never listens to anyone.
If Ken found Rob in his house he'd likely jump to the conclusion that Tracy was his accomplice and go on a tirade about putting them both in jail.
This is exactly the sort of outburst that made Rob kill Tina after her fall.
Just after Ken was attacked, the police wanted to talk to Tracy and it wasn't about her father. We didn't find out what that was. Then, on Monday April 10, Craig mentioned a prison van that crashed with a missing presumed dead prisoner. He didn't say when it happened but it would have been just before or even a little further back. 2 + 2 = Rob Donovan, I bet. That's probably where she was the night of the attack.
ReplyDeletePC's Tvor & Flaming Nora are on the case....
ReplyDeleteTotally agree Diane and no. He's not Clayton's dad :-)
DeleteTracy and Amy are about to run off and the spoilers are saying that Tracy begins to suspect Amy. Maybe Amy was in the house when Rob came looking for Tracy, witnessed the assault but hasn't told her mother the whole story. Getting away from the Street would give Tracy the chance to get their stories straight.
ReplyDeleteGood point Maricha.
ReplyDeleteI would like to say I enjoyed Rob and Tracy together. (Except when he put Carla first which is how he came to kill Tina - so that Tina would not ruin Carla's happiness.)
We have seen Tracy grow, even Kate Ford was fed up with her continually being set up against a new nemesis as each one left. There was no depth, just Tracy scrapping with this one and that one.
She has friends now, and a successful business. Yes it would not be realistic to have two convicted killers escape their full sentence, but you know this is a fictional show.
I would love to see Rob return to the street. If I want total reality I can turn on the news.
I do wish there was a way that could be, after all Peter seems to have sorted out most of his demons if he avoided the bottle through this recent turmoil.
DeletePerhaps if someone came forward as having hit Tina after Rob did or having poisoned her at the hospital or something.
