Oh my, what an awkward situation! After being a part of Coronation Street for almost three decades, David Neilson must have been quite taken aback when the security on set failed to recognize him. The 75-year-old actor, who plays the beloved Roy Cropper, reportedly had to press the buzzer and announce his name before being let in. I mean, who wouldn't recognize the iconic Roy Cropper?
According to The Sun, the soap veteran even had to pause at the gates and was approached by a fan asking for an autograph. Being the kind-hearted soul that he is, David agreed and then turned to the staff and asked why they thought he was signing these autographs. Poor Roy, he's had quite a tough year with the whole murder accusation and all. Remember when Lauren Bolton went missing and Roy was the last person to see her alive? And then he cleaned her flat as a favor to Evelyn Plummer, only to be named the prime suspect for her murder? It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for our dear Roy.
Thankfully, Lauren was eventually found alive, which cleared Roy's name. When she came to apologize, Roy was very understanding and even pointed out that she was also a victim in this situation. But just when we thought things were finally settling down for Roy, the ITV soap delivered yet another shocking twist. It turns out, Lauren was actually alive all along! In an episode that revealed more about her toxic relationship with Joel, it was revealed that he had been manipulating her since they first met.
It's no surprise that after months of being targeted with abuse, Roy decided it was time to take a break from Weatherfield. But before he left, he couldn't leave without saying goodbye to his dear friend Carla, who has also had a rough time lately. When he mentioned his plan to visit his ex Cathy in Scarborough, Carla insisted on coming along and wouldn't take no for an answer. She even offered to give Roy a lift to save him from taking the train. And to top it off, she suggested they book a hotel with a spa for a weekend of relaxation. Talk about a true friend!
The Agency has reached out to ITV for a comment on this whole situation. What a wild ride it's been for Roy Cropper this year. We can only hope that things will finally calm down for him now.
