See the exclusive new photos of actor Marc Baylis, who's soon to arrive as Carla's brother Rob Donovan in Coronation Street on July 9th.

Hard man Rob turns up in Weatherfield after being released from prison and turns to his sister, Carla, for help in starting a new life. With a reputation as a tough cookie and with a string of broken hearts behind him Rob looks certain to cause a stir and Eva could be the first to experience his charms.

Rob will also arrive in time to help out at Underworld when Carla and Peter temporarily flee Weatherfield following a painful custody battle over Simon.

Coronation Street Producer Phil Collinson said: "Carla's brother Rob is the latest in a long line of handsome Corrie charmers and is sure to set hearts fluttering in Weatherfield from the minute he arrives. The audience can expect thrills and a few broken hearts when this handsome bad boy hits town."

Marc’s previous credits include, Misfits, Law and Order UK and Sirens.
