Carla Connor struggles to cope with nephew Bobby in Coronation Street
BOBBY gave Carla Connor the shock of a lifetime when he first rocked up Weatherfield.
The Coronation Street businesswoman is at her wit's end next week as her cumbersome nephew gets up to no good.
Carla Connor (portrayed by Alison King) has been trying to handle her new single life in the Street following Peter Barlow's departure.
After celebrating Christmas together, both Carla and Peter agreed to end their marriage, allowing him to leave the cobbles to travel around the world.
Peter Barlow left Coronation Street after 23 years and was last seen boarding the first tram he could.
Unfortunately, he was unable to wave goodbye to his son Simon, whom he left behind on the Street.

But in yet another twist, Carla was stunned to see a young man named Bobby (Jack Carroll) arrive in Weatherfield claiming to be Rob Donovan's son.
Before long, it became clear that Bobby was not only here to stay but would also be a handful for his host Carla.
Things appear to be spiralling out of control, particularly in the Underworld knicker factory, in scenes airing next week on ITV.
Carla is deeply unimpressed when she has to cut short a call with an important client.
It's all down to Bobby causing mayhem in the factory by distracting the machinists from their work.
How will Carla handle the situation?
Could she ever get along with Bobby?
Will Bobby ever find his mark in the Street?
Speaking to Digital Spy about his new role and what was ahead for his on-screen alter ego, actor Jack Carroll said: "I only found out yesterday the nuts and bolts of what the story is. It is very, very exciting. I would even go so far as to say 'blockbuster'."
