So, is that the standard recognised procedure in prisons these days for the male guard to run out and lock the door behind him leaving the prisoner with a knife at the female guard's throat inside? Just asking.

The Governer replied, " There's no point in any one else getting killed "

What on earth is going on, with this latest round of soapy nonsense. With the amount of crime that has happened on the street, you would think characters would understand the role a solicitor plays in the court procedure by now. Not only is Sean still ignorant of this but he is banning Alya from a pub he does not own.

Is Rob in the same prison as Harvey, because it looks like all the officers are corrupt. Is Rob planning to escape if he is taken to hospital to give Carla a kidney? Though I am not sure if he has been tested and found to be a match yet. Did he plan this with Matty? How did he manage to get together with him, when he has only just arrived at the prison, I do not think they knew each other before Matty was brought in. Surely Matty would have been taken straight to isolation, not to a cell to chat to Rob. Preparing to suspend reality AGAIN.

Coronation Street has confirmed that returning character Rob Donovan hasn't changed his villainous ways.

The schemer's hidden agenda was revealed to viewers in Monday's episode as his son Bobby Crawford paid him another visit in prison.

Rob has returned to our screens as Bobby wants him to consider donating a kidney to Carla Connor, who needs a life-saving transplant.

Despite initially scoffing at the idea, Rob changed his mind in the latest episode. He claimed that he wanted to help his sister and make amends for the past after finding religion during his time behind bars.

Bobby wasn't sure what to believe, but their conversation was interrupted when new inmate Matty Radcliffe caused a scene in the jail's visiting room.

Matty grabbed a female prison guard and threatened her with a knife. As the tense stand-off escalated, he then used Bobby as a hostage and threatened him too.

The situation looked bleak for Bobby until Rob stepped in to talk Matty down. Rob then found the right moment to overpower Matty, helping the prison guards to restore order and seemingly saving Bobby's life.

Bobby later returned to Carla with talk of Rob being a changed man, but not everything was as it seemed.

During a moment alone at the prison, it was revealed that Rob had slyly set up the entire situation to look good in front of Bobby. Although reluctant, Matty had agreed to the plan after being bribed by Rob.

Rob clearly sees the benefit of getting into Bobby's good books and worming his way back in with Carla, but what is his endgame?

Marc Baylis, who plays Rob, recently revealed: "He's not had the easiest of times in prison, as I don't think anyone would do for that amount of time, particularly someone who did what he did to a young woman.

"It's not something that he's had an easy journey with, and it's something that he has huge regrets over with the way that everything played out.

"We do get to see some of that on screen, as well as Rob's genuine feelings. But with Rob, there are always motives to make his life better than what it is, and that may well get him into trouble yet again."

Coronation Street's producer Kate Brooks also recently said: "We last left Rob languishing in prison. He made mistakes. He comes back to the show and we think he might be a reformed character who has seen the error of his ways, but whether that's the case or not, I don't know!

"That causes a lot of trouble for Carla and Lisa. Just when Carla and Lisa think it's safe to sit down and watch Netflix, Rob Donovan comes along and scuppers all of that."

It was all rather silly and we don't trust that Rob. However They can't kill Carla so she must have a kidney from sombody.

the female officer was well protecting rob, are they a couple

I know what you are all thinking, but I, for one, found it totally credible, believable and highly plausible that the very sick Carla could just waltz out of hospital, get to the prison and visit Rob with her visiting order which she had arranged from her hospital bed that same day.

Corrie own the hospital and The Chokey so it's all very easy.

Do i detect a touch of sarcasm here.
