List of Hollyoaks characters introduced in 2005

Robert "Rob" Owen is a fictional character from the long-running Channel 4 soap opera ''Hollyoaks'', played by David Prosho between 2005 and 2006.

He is Carrie Owen's estranged husband. He recently returned after finding out about his son Russ Owen's cancer. Originally ostracized from the family because he refused to believe his other son Sam Owen's innocence when he was imprisoned, Rob returned after Russ warned him that he could be at risk from cancer, and after his daughter Nicole Owen begged him to stay. Rob's return almost split the family again as Sam refused to accept him at first. He was forced to change his mind after Rob rescued him on a climbing trip when Sam was unable to scale the rock face on his own. When Sam realised that Rob did care for him after all, he eventually forgave him.

After Sam confessed that he had been spiking and raping girls, Rob tried to help him run away by buying him a plane ticket. This caused a bit of tension between him and Carrie. After consoling with the family, Rob, Carrie, Nicole and Russ forced Sam to turn himself in to the police and he was sentenced for 25 years. Six months down the line, Sam escaped from prison and this time the effects were to be horrendous. He burnt down the local pub The Dog in The Pond which left several people dead (including Sam himself). After Nicole was bullied at school and the Owen family receiving abuse from the minority residents of Hollyoaks, Carrie decided it was the best for her and her family to move away from Hollyoaks. Rob, Carrie and Nicole left the village behind whilst Russ stayed in Hollyoaks, to be with his wife Mercedes McQueen. Provided by Wikipedia
