Carla Connor (Alison King)

but Tracey was freed after the conviction was deemed unsafe? something about the expert witness at the time was discredited

That is what I mean .. it was a technicality that got her out. Guess they had to write it like that to get the character back.

If Rob is out as well now, I can´t wait to find out the reason but maybe we see him behind prison bars rather than walking down the cobbles??

I think the wording is at fault. Given previous spoilers about Rob calling the shots from prison, I read "Rob returns from prison" as "Rob returns to our screens". They could have changed the storyline so Rob's released from prison, but I can't see that happening.

I initially thought Rob was being released, however the wording ,as you say Dazzle is so ambiguous and reading the following quote made by the actor.
"I can’t wait to play Rob again and see what he has up his sleeve" Baylis said. "One thing is certain - prison won’t stop Rob from affecting lives on the street." This together with info from the producer , it seems Rob will be exercising his power from a prison cell. How without a physical presence on the street, particularly with the strong characters involved, will be interesting?

I think Rob will stay in prison, we will see scenes of him being visited by folk various

I think so too and also believe this to be the best way to re-introduce him, like to think the Corrie production team will have learned from the mistake letting Tracy out in her unbelievable storyline

Also, I think the Corrie team are unlikely to try something similar with Rob because he's just not an important enough character to tie themselves in knots trying to find a credible way to bring him back. Tracy is a Barlow and was born on the show so is in a different league to Rob in terms of the history she brings with her.

Know Im being picky -but actually she was born
a Langton ! Ive often wondered what she would
have been like with a different stepfather or none
at all - Nature v Nurture??

Re Rob -I always thought they may bring him
back at some point in the future- but not so
soon and not from prison.
Perhaps its more to do with Alison Kings break
- a final story for Rob & Carla and part of her
exit story.

Unpunished or inadequately punished killers
are a facet of all soaps and also real life?!

No doubt in my mind that Rob´s return is down to Alison King wanting to leave for a bit... hopefully they make it reasonable but we shall see
