Coronation Street viewers were left mocking an incident with villain Rob Donovan on the ITV soap on Monday night, as a stumble over a stair railing sparked death theories

Not all Coronation Street viewers were entertained on Monday night after a pretty dramatic episode.

After Rob Donovan did the unthinkable and kidnapped his own sister Carla Connor at gunpoint, the race was on to save her with girlfriend Lisa Swain on hand. Things went wrong pretty quickly though as Rob attacked Lisa before turning on his poorly sister.

Carla was recovering after her life-saving kidney transplant, which Rob was the donor for. Rob had been planning his prison escape and wasn’t initially going to actually be Carla’s donor.

Its only when Lisa tricked him into the operation with a false pledge to have his sentence overturned that he went ahead with it. So when Lisa went back on her word Rob vowed revenge, leading to him kidnapping Carla with the help of prison officer Mandy, his secret lover.

Lisa got caught in the crossfire too and was brutally attacked by Rob before he claimed to Carla she was dead. As Carla sobbed fearing her partner had been killed, Rob continued to taunt her and a showdown ensued.

By showdown we mean Carla running at Rob and taking her own revenge, shoving him in anger. With that aired “the most stupid” scene, according to fans, as Rob took a tumble.

We say a tumble, it was more like an acrobatic manoeuvre which fans certainly saw the funny side of. But not everyone was amused, with some slamming the twist on social media.

Carla shoved her brother and he flew down some steps and hit a wall, but it’s what happened next that left fans in disbelief. Rob bounced off the wall he’d slammed against before falling over the bannister and hitting the floor below.

As he screamed, Rob somehow toppled over the railing in a straightened position. As he landed Carla gasped, only for Lisa to walk in and question what had happened amid speculation he was dead.

But she wasn’t the only one questioning it, as fans fumed on X about the episode and the fall scene. Some called it “ridiculous” as others commented it was “stupid”.

One viewer posted: “What a ridiculous final scene of Rob pushed down the stairs,” as another added: “That scene of Rob bouncing off the wall and hurling himself over the bannister was in keeping with the rest of this plot line, over the top and totally ridiculous.”

A third viewer posted: “The most stupid episode in 65 years.” A fourth said: “A ridiculous fall,” as another commented: “What a stupid fall.”
