A major Coronation Street character is set to be rushed to hospital in upcoming scenes as their shocking plan comes to light.

Rob Donovan (Marc Baylis) has agreed to donate a kidney to estranged sister Carla Connor (Alison King) in recent scenes, after she was left needing another transplant after contracting sepsis.

Carla was suspicious of Rob’s motivations from the get go, pointing out to nephew Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) that she’s never known Rob to do anything from the good of his own heart.

However, she eventually accepted his proposal and agreed to let him get tested to see if his kidney is a match.

In upcoming scenes, Rob is left irritated when he learns that he will be able to undergo the tests in prison, instead of needing to go to hospital.

Next week, it becomes clear that he is plotting something, when prison officer Mandy asks if he still wants to go ahead with his ‘plan’.

It is then revealed that Mandy and Rob are engaging in an illegal relationship, as they share a secret kiss when she collects him from his cell.

Later, Carla gets a shock when she takes a call from the hospital, revealing that Rob has been admitted after an allergic reaction to some antibiotics.

Carla rushes to the hospital, where Mandy informs her that a consultant has been asking after her, wanting to talk.

As Carla heads off in search of them, Mandy and Rob are left alone, and it isn’t long before she is uncuffing him…

What do they have planned, and will they get away with it?

Later in the week, Carla gets the life-changing news that Rob’s kidney is a match, and is thrown into panic.

She visits him to pass on the news that the operation will take place the following day, but how will he react?

As the day of the operation dawns, Carla is on edge as the doctor reveals that they have had to delay the procedure.

Fearing the worst, she worries that Rob is going to back out. Is she right to worry?
