Coronation Street revisited one of its biggest whodunnit storylines this week as Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) found out the truth behind his dad Rob Donovan’s (Marc Baylis) imprisonment.
Arriving on the street just after Christmas when his mum kicked him out, Bobby confronted his aunt Carla Connor (Alison King) and soon moved in with her.
Up until now, he’s been led to believe that his father Rob was wrongly imprisoned after acting in self defence, but after a conversation with Rita Tanner (Barbara Knox) and Mary Taylor (Patti Clare), his interest was piqued.
Confused why they were so disgusted to learn who his dad was, Bobby turned to Carla for the truth.
Carla was forced to reveal all, leaving Bobby shocked.
But who did he kill? Metro is here to fill you in with all the details if you fancy a trip down memory lane.
Who did Rob Donovan kill on Coronation Street as son Bobby finds out the truth?
Back in 2014, Rob killed Tina McIntyre (Michelle Keegan).
Michelle played barmaid Tina for six years and was later joined by her dad Joe McIntyre (Reece Dinsdale), who soon became Gail Platt’s (Helen Worth) fourth husband.
During her time on the street, Tina was in a relationship with David Platt (Jack P Shepherd) and blamed Gail when her dad died faking his own death in a boating incident.
She was also surrogate for Gary Windass (Mikey North) and Izzy Armstrong (Cherylee Houston) and had relationships with a string of Weatherfield men – including married Peter Barlow (Chris Gascoyne).
Despite feeling like yesterday, its 10 years this May since her epic murder storyline – here’s a run down of what happened on the fateful night.
How did Tina die in Coronation Street?
A number of key suspects were unveiled ahead of the shocking episodes; Carla, Rob, Peter and his sister Tracy Barlow (Kate Ford).
On the evening of her Rob’s engagement party to Tracy, Tina planned to run away with Peter, which was halted when his wife Carla announced her pregnancy in the Rovers.
When Rob called round to the builder’s yard flat to check on Tina, she told him about her plan to report his dodgy dealings in second-hand shop Barlow’s Buys to the police and expose her affair with Peter.
During the heated confrontation, the pair ended up on the builder’s yard balcony and within minutes she’s been pushed off onto the cobbles below.
Fearing she would still live to reveal his dastardly act, Rob then proceeded to brutally bludgeon her over the head with a metal pole to silence her once and for all.
Rob has been serving a 25 year stretch ever since, bar a brief spell when he escaped prison and went on the run to Humberside with Tracy and her daughter Amy Barlow (Elle Mulvaney).
Recent scenes showed Rita horrified to learn about Bobby’s parentage, as she considered Tina the daughter she never had.
Will he be able to recover from the shocking revelation, and will it impact his relationships on the street?
