They have scraped the bottom of the bucket for this character. Very irritating. He would be getting a slap in the real world.

i lost count of corrie characters have started out as irritanting / annoying but they soften them over time

The character/actor is disabled.

While it is admirable that they have hired a disabled actor, they could have given him some better material. It does not alter the fact that, in my opinion, the character in very annoying and unfunny. I think I can detect some criticism of myself in your post, so if I have caused you some offense or upset, I apologize to you.

He is her nephew. He is the son of her older half-brother (who is in prison) Rob Donovan.

Yes but Carla do not need to take him in, she was never shown as maternal but now with Ryan, Simon and new nephew Bobby she is

I think we are meant to find him as a cheeky chappie, in the mould of a quieter Alfie Moon. Where his cheekiness acts as a shield to compensate for his disability. Where an able bodied person might well receive a slap, most people will make allowances for a disabled person, and few would give him a slap. He is still very annoying and sooner he goes the better. I see no reason to have introduced him, other than to meet some diversity target, if he is to stay, I hope they cut the cheeky chappie stuff and give him a decent story.

Alfie Moon is even more annoying and I have never liked him either. And the icing on the cake, "Sonia's Trumpet".
