The fate of everyone’s favourite Coronation Street legend hangs in the balance next week as Roy Cropper’s (David Neilson) bail hearing takes place, and I’ve got you a first look at the dramatic scenes to come.
Brand new spoiler clips for next week’s offerings of the ITV soap chart various stages of the murder storyline that is Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) vanishing.
Roy, despite being completely innocent, has found himself in serious trouble with the law, with officers believing him to be responsible for Lauren’s disappearance and subsequent ‘murder’.
The much-loved cafe owner appears in court on Monday (April 15), hopeful that Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown) can secure his freedom.
Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll), who is largely responsible for Roy’s ordeal after he pointed the finger, tries to make things right but ultimately ends up making things much worse!
This inevitably leads the way for Max Turner (Paddy Bever), who has always had something of a grudge against Daniel Osbourne (Rob Mallard), to complicate matters even further.
Oh boy.
If you’d like a little preview of the action to come then you’re in luck as I’ve got three video clips to tide you over until your next visit to the nation’s most famous fictional street.
Monday April 15
Dee-Dee makes a strong case for why Roy must be granted bail, citing the impact the allegations, trauma and trolling have had on his mental health.
Roy watches on, hopeful, as does Nina, who is full of praise for Dee-Dee but has she done enough to secure the cafe owner his freedom?
Unfortunately, Roy is denied bail in subsequent scenes, meaning that he will remain in prison until the trial.
The injustice.
Wednesday April 17
DS Swain is less than pleased about Bobby changing his statement to include the mention of a threatening man at Lauren’s flat prior to her disappearance – a man that definitely wasn’t Roy.
The detective knows full well that Bobby is simply trying to secure Roy’s freedom, reminding him that perverting the course of justice is a serious matter. But will Bobby’s new story prove to be enough to get Roy out of jail?
Friday April 19
Daniel awaits the arrival of ex and confidante Nicky Wheatley after Bethany puts the idea in his head that he should reconnect with her in the wake of Lauren’s disappearance.
Max, however, is watching from afar and tells Bobby, who is also present, that Nicky is a sex worker. In a bid to get evidence against the teacher, Max takes a few pictures – but will Daniel find himself once again in the frame for Lauren’s ‘murder’?
Coronation Street airs these scenes w/c Monday April 13 on ITV1 and ITVX.
