Robert "Robbie" Roscoe, played by Charlie Wernham, made his first screen appearance on 2 April 2013. Robbie is part of the Roscoe family and the first member to be introduced. On 19 March 2013, a Channel 4 press release revealed that Robbie "leads the way for a family of boys to descend on Hollyoaks, headed by Gillian Taylforth as mother, Sandy." Wernham's casting was confirmed on 27 March 2013. Wernham auditioned for the show the previous year, attending his second audition on 24 October 2012. Daniel Kilkelly from Digital Spy later revealed Robbie is a "troublesome new student" and he would befriend established character Callum Kane (Laurie Duncan). The writer added that Robbie's headteacher Patrick Blake (Jeremy Sheffield) thinks he can control his behaviour. But Robbie soon begins to cause trouble.
Robbie's notable storylines have included: working for gangster Trevor Royle (Greg Wood); bullying his teacher, John Paul McQueen (James Sutton), with Finn O'Connor (Keith Rice); his relationship with Phoebe McQueen (Mandip Gill); being reunited with his father Rick Spencer; pushing his twin brother Jason Roscoe (Alfie Browne-Sykes) off a cliff; working with crooked police officer Ben Bradley (Ben Richards) to bring down Trevor; and his affairs with brother Freddie's wife Sinead (Stephanie Davis) and brother Jason's wife Holly (Amanda Clapham), and his infatuation with other brother Darren's wife Nancy (Jessica Fox).
