MARC Baylis has admitted his family prefer a rival soap to Coronation Street as he reveals Rob Donovan’s next “ruthless” move.
The Weatherfield hunk has been wreaking havoc ever since he escaped from prison in dramatic scenes.
Rob was presumed dead when his sister Carla Connor pushed him from the top of a staircase, but when police later turned up his body was nowhere to be found.
Speaking about his Coronation Street comeback, Marc has admitted his family aren’t fans of the show.
He told The Mirror: “I don’t come from a family of Corrie viewers. My mum watched EastEnders, to be honest.
“And they’re used to me being on TV now.
“They’ve gone through the whole journey with me, so it’s nothing new to them.”
The 47-year-old admitted his mother does “dip in and out” of his big stunts but his family aren’t telly fanatics.
Marc added: “[My family] don’t watch a lot of television, that’s not them. They prefer reading and socialising.”
Soap fans will watch Rob return to screens as he appears in the ginnel, begging his former flame Tracy Barlow for help.
Marc added: “He’s a multi-faceted character.
“He’s a middle-aged man whose life hasn’t gone on the trajectory he thought it would.

“He’s not evil, there is good in him and he’s got a fantastic sense of humour, but being inside prison is eating him alive.”
