ITV Coronation Street fans left puzzled as character ‘goes missing’ amid crucial storyline
Coronation Street fans are a little confused about the disappearance of a character weeks after they were caught up in a major storyline, with it not really explained what has happened to them
Viewers of Coronation Street are questioning the whereabouts of a character who has seemingly gone AWOL amid a huge storyline.
Despite being involved in a huge storyline just weeks ago, the character in question has vanished without a trace. There’s been no real mention of where he is despite hints he is still on the cobbles, leaving fans confused.
In fact some viewers have asked if he’s actually left the show without a word, not sure where he’s gone. The character is Carla Connor’s nephew Bobby Crawford played by actor Jack Caroll.
According to his social media the comedian is currently performing comedy shows, so perhaps he’s taken some time out to do this across the country. His account also confirmed he’s “currently” playing Bobby on Corrie, suggesting he hasn’t left the role.
Fans were a bit confused though given he was a love interest for Lauren Bolton before she vanished, before being there for her when she returned a couple of months ago. Since then though and after almost leaving Weatherfield, Bobby has not been shown anywhere.
It seems he is still living with Carla as her other nephew Ryan Connor made a comment about sleeping on her sofa in a recent episode. Baffled fans took to social media to question where Bobby was.

One fan posted: “Has Bobby left the street not seen him for ages?” Another asked: “What happened to Bobby?” as a third said: “Has Bobby gone awol?”
One viewer pointed out: “Remember when Bobby was super involved with Lauren? Or that he lives with Carla? It’s like he doesn’t exist anymore now.” A further comment read: “It’s like he doesn’t exist anymore now,” as another comment read: “Ryan was mildly complaining just the other day about sleeping on Carla’s sofa, but there was no mention of the fact that Bobby was the reason he’s doing so.”
It comes amid drama for Carla after she crossed Joel Deering, while she also injured a teenager with her car door. But spoilers have teased another big twist for the character is on the way surrounding a mystery letter.
Ryan delivers an important looking letter to Carla in next week’s episodes, and as she reads it her face drops. With her plea hearing coming up, Ryan assumes this is behind Carla’s stress and her being upset.
But DS Swain realises there has to be more to it, with viewers seeing Carla left reeling over the mystery contents of the letter. Viewers will have to tune in next week to find out what has happened!
