Coronation Street fans point out ‘missing’ potential donor to save Carla Connor as they don’t get ‘single mention’

Carla was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with sepsis before being told she needs a kidney transplant

Coronation Street fans have wondered if bosses are purposely missing out talk of a potential donor for Carla Connor as a character hasn’t had a ‘single mention’ amid her health battle.

The year got off to a worrying start for Carla in the ITV soap as she was rushed to hospital and diagnosed with sepsis. Doctors later confirmed that the infection has badly damaged her kidney, and it’s since been confirmed she’ll need a transplant.

During Thursday night’s (January 9) Corrie, Bobby was seen thinking that Rob could be the one to help after Carla turned down offers from both him and Ryan Connor and so arranged a visit to the prison. But his dad was less than welcoming and open to what Bobby had to say, as he accused him of abandoning him and listened to Carla about what really happened with Tina, but he still professes his innocence.

However, Rob later called Bobby and revealed he’d had a change of heart and confirmed that he was willing to consider being a donor for his sister.

Next week, it’s been revealed that Bobby will encourage Carla to visit Rob, despite his wicked words against her during their first meeting, as he believes he’s a changed man having found God, and wants to help.

But Corrie fans are wondering about Kate Connor and why she is yet to be considered to donate to Carla. And fans could be right in thinking of half-sister Kate Connor as back in 2018, when Carla first underwent a transplant for kidney disease, both she and Aidan were confirmed to be a match, but it was Aidan who insisted that he would be the donor.
