Ruby Dobbs (previously Soames) is the daughter of Kirsty Soames and Tyrone Dobbs and was born on 9th September 2012 in the back room of the Rovers Return Inn. After Kirsty had provoked Tina McIntyre, an enraged Tina pushed Kirsty into a table, bruising her spine and causing her waters to break and go into labour. Marcus Dent helped with the birth, along with Stella and Gloria Price. Tyrone arrived just in time to witness his daughter's birth.
