Debbie was surprised when Bobby arrived on the Coronation Street scene. Fresh off the heartbreaking parting of Carla Connor and Peter Barlow, Carla is confronted with a new distraction in the form of her nephew, Bobby. Not long after his arrival, Bobby began to spread his charm throughout Weatherfield.
Carla was expecting a pizza delivery when the door buzzer went, but standing at the door instead was Bobby, who explained he was her brother Rob Donovan's son. Rob is currently serving life in prison for the murder of Tina McIntyre. Bobby had a story about his family, but Carla was soon on the phone to Rob, who filled her in on his son.
Carla allowed Bobby to stay for a few weeks, as long as he followed her rules. But that soon changed when a van arrived in the street filled with Bobby's possessions. Simon decided Carla needed more space and offered to let Bobby have his room while he went to stay with his mum. Bobby made his entrance just as Peter left.
Jack P. Shepherd, who plays Bobby, rose to fame when he was 14 after appearing on Britain's Got Talent. He went on to have appearances on Saturday Night at the London Palladium, Jason Manford's Funny Old Week and Live at the Apollo. Jack has also completed his first national live tour.
Bobby made an instant impression when he set his sights on one of the Coronation Street women. Despite the fact that Debbie Webster was independent, feisty, attractive, a few years older than Bobby, and in a relationship with Ronnie Bailey, Bobby thought nothing of trying out his charms on her - in the bar of her own hotel, no less - until Carla intervened.
