Coronation Street newcomer Jack Carroll has revealed what soap watchers can expect from his character Bobby ahead of a 'blockbuster' storyline.
Only recently, Carla Connor was left stunned when she learnt she has a secret nephew as new character Bobby, played by Pride of Britain winner and Britain’s Got Talent finalist Jack, 25, arrived on the cobbles last month.
Bobby revealed he is the son of her killer brother Rob Donovan. Just as Carla was dealing with her heartbreak after her split from Peter Barlow, who left the soap on Boxing Day, Bobby showed up and dropped the news they are related. Bobby delivered a sob story, only for his dad to make contact with sister Carla and reveal what was really going on.
Carla explained that he can stay with her for a few weeks but soon realised he could be sticking around when his possessions were dumped on the street via a delivery van courtesy of Bobby's mother. So far, Bobby has been causing chaos on the cobbles by chatting up Debbie and in upcoming scenes, Amy Barlow catches his eye.
Appearing on Thursday's This Morning, Jack said of his character having an 'eye for the ladies': "Well, I think that will develop over the coming weeks! We will kind of see where it takes him, I think those developments will be very interesting going forward into this year and they really develop into, I found out recently, a big blockbuster kind of storyline. It's really exciting!"
Teasing the big storyline further, he added: "We've filmed some of them, so I think it will be over the next few months, those seeds will start developing. Very exciting indeed!" It comes as Jack spoke about the upcoming storylines with Mirror and other press last year.
He said: "He's got his eye on somebody, I don't really think I'm allowed to say who that is yet; but it's definitely something I think we've got planned for the future. That'll be good fun as well, because that's just another aspect of his chaos-causing behaviour, which is fun to play!"
Talking about the huge storyline for 2024, Jack added: "I only found out yesterday the kind of nuts and bolts of what the story is, and it's very, very exciting. I would even go so far as to say blockbuster.
"There's always a little bit of apprehension, because I'd only been there a week or a couple of weeks, and then I found out that I was going to be a part of this massive storyline.
"But I think after that dissipates a little bit, then you're just very excited to get stuck in, and that's where I'm at now, I just can't wait to get working and expand on the character, and see what craziness they put me in."
