This storyline was one that was going to feature a lot of Ken Barlow, says The Mirror, but as we know, William Roache won't be appearing in the show while legal proceedings are ongoing.
Anyway, in his interview Marc says: “It’s the rivalry between Peter and Rob... you will see it over the summer this is the just the beginning of everything else. This is the whole precipice that’s being set up at the moment, it does erupt in the bookies. It’s really nice at the moment because of Rob being in there, the reason why he’s there is because of Carla. Rob doesn’t think Peter is good enough for Carla. And that’s what’s underneath it all and it gets a bit dirty.”
“The rivalry takes hold more than anything else and basically Rob and Tracy want to be Peter and Carla, they want to be successful. It’s the ambition and the drive that creates that pride that makes the arguments happen. And Rob stupidly tries to stitch his sister up.”
Viewers are about to get more history of Rob and Carla’s past too – something which helps to explain why relations are so strained between them.
“A lot more of the history comes out. There is a section in a few weeks where Carla tells her side of the story and Rob tells his story. What manifests is that Carla could have helped when their mother got into trouble financially because she was living the high life. Rob did that job because of the fact Carla wasn’t helping out, so all of this is the undertone of what’s happened eight years ago.”
