Corrie Spoilers 7th - 11th December 2015

[Perdita]

Coronation Street killer Rob Donovan will return to screens next month, as he prepares to shake up the lives of several Weatherfield residents.

Marc Baylis has reprised his role as Rob for an exciting storyline, which will see the villain calling the shots from his prison cell.

Rob has been behind bars for a year since he was found guilty of murdering Tina McIntyre, but it will soon become clear that prison life has not made him re-evaluate his evil ways.

The story will kick off after Rob sends his ex-partner Tracy (Kate Ford) a prison visiting order, explaining to his cellmate Ian that he intends on having his revenge on her.

​
Although Rob's sudden contact takes Tracy by surprise, she eventually heads to the prison to meet him after her new boyfriend Robert Preston lets her down in favour of helping Leanne Tilsley.

As the pair come face-to-face, Rob pretends that he is full of remorse, telling Tracy how much he misses her and quizzing her on her current love life situation.

Although Tracy denies being in a new relationship, she does let slip that Carla ran into problems with the factory and that Johnny came to her rescue, leaving Rob intrigued.

​
Following Tracy's visit, Rob then turns his attention to Johnny (Richard Hawley), who is stunned to receive a visiting order from him.

After being persuaded by an unnerved Carla to find out what Rob wants, Johnny heads to the prison but their meeting soon takes a very dark turn when Rob drops a bombshell.

Showing his true colours, Rob makes it clear that he knows all about Johnny's past and threatens to spill the beans to Carla, Aidan and Kate if he doesn't give him £10,000.

This story was first teased earlier this month, when it was revealed that Rob will threaten to expose Johnny as Carla's biological dad.

Rob's threat leaves Johnny reeling and he is later forced to lie to Carla when she quizzes him about what her brother wanted.

While Johnny remains in turmoil over what to do next, Tracy agrees to visit Rob again, but is she making a big mistake?

​Tracy is taken aback when she receives a visiting order from Rob in prison. As Robert approaches, she shoves it in her pocket. In his prison cell, Rob tells his cellmate that he intends to have his revenge on Tracy.

Later, Robert gives Simon a pep talk and persuades him to attend another counselling session. Simon agrees, on the condition that Robert goes with him. Tracy is gutted when Robert sends her a text cancelling their drink and then she spots him leaving in a cab with Leanne and Simon. Soon afterwards in the prison visiting room, Tracy goes ahead with seeing Rob...

Meanwhile, Nessa prattles on in the salon about how she and Ken are entertaining Roy and Cathy for dinner later. Suddenly downing tools, Nessa announces that she's off to the precinct to make an emergency purchase. Audrey grits her teeth, before moaning to Rita how she regrets letting Nessa get her claws into Ken and wishes she'd been more proactive.

Elsewhere, Sarah arrives back from hospital and Gail and Bethany fuss round her. Fed up with Gail and Bethany fretting over her, Sarah announces that she's returning to work.

Also, Liz, Erica and Anna commiserate over the lack of men in their lives. At Erica's suggestion, they agree to attend a Singles Night.

Finally, when Kate and Billy arrange to meet for a drink after work, Sally forms a plan. In the Bistro, Sally drags Billy away, making out that she and Tim need to talk to him about their marital problems. Sally then orders Sophie to keep Kate company. Billy and Tim are clearly bemused.

​Rob tells Tracy that he's tried to forget about her, but can't as she still means the world to him. Telling Tracy how lonely he is, Rob begs her to stay a bit longer and wonders if she's met somebody else. Tracy lies to him, denying that she's in any relationship.

Rob then quizzes Tracy about Carla and the factory. When Tracy reveals how Carla was driving the business into the ground and Johnny came to her rescue, Rob is intrigued. As Tracy makes to leave, Rob tells her how much he loves her and hopes she'll visit him again. Will Tracy agree?

Later, when Robert admits to Tracy how he accompanied Simon to his counselling, he's surprised by how calmly she takes the news.

At the same time, Simon goes into a strop - telling Leanne that he's had enough of counselling and it's a waste of time. Leanne is left at her wits' end.

Meanwhile, Nessa presents Ken with a pair of designer jeans. Ken is quietly horrified, but puts them on as he doesn't want to offend her. Over dinner with Roy and Cathy, Cathy berates Nessa for cajoling Ken into the jeans. After a nightcap in The Rovers, Nessa apologises to Ken and suggests she could stay the night. As Audrey watches on, fighting back the tears, will Ken agree?

Elsewhere, Todd watches Sarah work behind the bar. When she suffers a twinge in her tummy, Todd clocks her discomfort and his mind works overtime. Catching up with Sarah outside, Todd asks her who's the daddy. Horrified, will Sarah confess that she's pregnant with Callum's baby?

Also, Anna knocks back the wine, nervous at the thought of Singles Night. Erica and Liz are amused to realise that Anna is too drunk to attend.

Finally, assuring Billy that his advice has been invaluable, Sally dismisses him. Tim and Sophie realise that Sally was simply trying to set Sophie up with Kate again.

As the engagement party gets under way at the Bistro, Carla grabs a word with Johnny, desperate to know what Rob wanted. Johnny covers by telling her that Rob simply wanted to know what was going on with the factory. However, Liz senses there is something bothering Johnny.

At the same time, Carla asks Roy if he'll give her away at her wedding. Roy assures her that it would be an honour.

Meanwhile, as Ken and Nessa prepare to leave for the party, Amy clocks Nessa's ridiculous hairdo and outfit and bursts out laughing. Upset by Amy's comments and only too aware that Audrey sabotaged her hair on purpose, Nessa refuses to attend the party. Ken is disappointed, but when Nessa offers to stay the night again, will he be appeased?

Think we would have heard about Big Jim coming back if that was the case ... Has Tracy ever mentioned gettting a visiting order from Rob before or is this the first?
