After his initial suspicion of Roy Cropper (David Neilson), Bobby came to understand that Roy is a good man \u2013 but Roy is now in prison, charged with Lauren\u2019s murder<\/a>!<\/p>\n When Bobby decided to tell DS Swain (Vicky Myers) that he saw a man not fitting Roy\u2019s description leaving Lauren\u2019s flat, he drew his aunt Carla Barlow (Alison King) into the lie<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, as actor Jack Carroll discusses his alter ego\u2019s situation, he teases that Bobby could be in serious trouble if Swain uncovers his deception!<\/p>\n Defensive Bobby hadn\u2019t banked on his fib causing so much drama, although his heart was in the right place. Read on as Carroll talks us through the storyline in this new interview.<\/p>\n Why do you think Bobby was so suspicious of Roy in the beginning?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cIt was that thing of Bobby being new to the street, and outwardly Roy has a bit of a strange manner, kind of a loner, and that\u2019s how he appears to any stranger upon first meeting him. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cBut then you\u2019ve got all the people on the street who know Roy and know what a lovely man he is fighting his corner, and then on the other hand you have the viewers who spent all these years with Roy and went through all the heartbreak with Hayley and built up a real bond with this character \u2013 and they can\u2019t intervene, but they know Roy is a lovely man \u2013 and they have to watch as a big misunderstanding drags his name through the mud.\u201d<\/span><\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n When did Bobby\u2019s opinion of Roy change?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cI think there\u2019s a moment where he does take on board what other members of the street have said about Roy, and that kind of starts to filter in \u2013 but there\u2019s a sense of the wheels are already in motion and what\u2019s been done can\u2019t be undone. He\u2019s let the cat out the bag, has Bobby a little bit, and I think that\u2019s probably before he was in full possession of the facts. He\u2019s not a bad person, is Bobby, but he\u2019s quick to jump to conclusions, and that\u2019s been the big problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Is that why he provided the police with a false statement?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cYes, I think it\u2019s a na\u00efve and immature attempt to right the wrong for someone who he has just subsequently found out is a nice bloke. It\u2019s not the best way of going about it, but it\u2019s Bobby\u2019s way of trying to rectify his mistake, and unfortunately what he\u2019s done is make things 10 times worse.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Roy is so honest and wouldn\u2019t have wanted Bobby to have done this\u2026 does he regret it\/feel guilty?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cHe goes back and forth between the two emotions; he\u2019s done it for the right reasons, but it\u2019s probably the wrong action, and I think when you are backed into a corner it can be very hard to admit that you\u2019ve made a mistake, so there\u2019s a little bit of that as well \u2013 he kind of gets a little bit prickly and angry when he\u2019s questioned about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Could there be consequences for Bobby if he gets found out?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cI think yes, that is usually what happens in these situations, and certainly DS Swain is not the sort of character that you want to get on the wrong side of, especially when she\u2019s got a bee in her bonnet about something.\u201d<\/p>\n Where does Carla stand on what Bobby has done?<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThe dynamic between Bobby and Carla has really grown, and she\u2019s really come to accept his flaws and faults and grown really fond of him as a family member, but unfortunately it is those same flaws and faults that start to get her embroiled in legal problems. This is real stuff \u2013 it\u2019s not just Bobby sitting on the sofa and not pulling his weight, this could have tangible consequences for both of their lives.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"Bobby](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/corrie-swain-bobby-d3238f7.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"corrie-swain-bobby\\"\/")
