It's been confirmed that 'Darren' is actually Rob's middle name.

Quite a few things cleared up in that interview actually..

Cop out answer. Are we supposed to believe that she referred to him as his middle name for several years and suddenly reverted as soon as he showed up? Taking the mick surely.

I thought she had lots of brothers. That's me proven wrong.

It's an absolute bullshit answer regarding her brother!! In 2011 when Carlas mother died it was in the scenes where her brother was trying to contact her and after she went to her mother funeral she spoke about seeing her brother etc etc but now he's just got out of prison after serving eight years he wouldn't have been able to contact her when her mother died! She reffered to him in 2011 as "Darren" and she calls him Rob???? RUBBISH WRITTING!!!

If you remember Carla was bothered what her perfect brother would think of her!

Carla takes about her brother in these clips

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nb2xplef694

Carla talks about how she didn't call her brother back and how her brother said she's not welcome at her mother funeral.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFUZOBpKxpg

Baby brother tells her a few home truths!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...rlIhNk8g4&NR=1

It really pees me off when even the exec producer doesn't know the back story!!!!

Wait, in the last clip she said "I didn't even invite them to me and Tony's wedding, not even my brother". So was Rob (or Darren) out of prison by 2008?

Not really, I have a friend who first name is Janet but she goes by her middle name, even her person's call her that. It's how she is known to everyone.

I'm sure under special circumstances they would allow more phone calls and even allow people to call you.

I have a couple of friends that do that too but as you say, that is how they are universally known - they don't just revert back one day - Carla and Michelle referred to him as Rob straight away despite apparently not having seen him for some time. If it was a case that he went by Darren for years but decided to go back to Robertt (perhaps feeling a new name would be a clean slate after prison), then they'd have said Hi Darren and he'd have said, actually do you mind using Rob now.

Well when he first came in it seemed as though he'd only just got out of prison.

A big mess up if you ask me. Either the scriptwriters are lazy or they think we all have bad memories but someone is taking the pi*s.


The only thing I can think is that when Robert Darren was at his mother's funeral, he was handcuffed?

There was no mention of it but it can be arranged for prisoners to go to funerals.

ah right, ok. That makes sense. Very odd of Corrie.

They could at least have chosen an actor who looks as if he's Carla's brother, they look as much like brother and sister as Kirk and Maria do. Unbelievable.
