The friendship between Evelyn Plummer and Roy Cropper on Coronation Street has been through its fair share of challenges. Despite their stark differences in personalities, they have formed a strong bond that goes beyond mere acquaintances. As Maureen Lipman, who plays Evelyn, shared last year, "Roy is basically the only person who truly understands Evelyn and vice versa."
When Roy was arrested as a suspect in the murder of Lauren Bolton, Evelyn stood by him as one of his most loyal supporters. She even found herself in hot water with the police when she took the blame for an assault complaint filed against Roy by troublemaker Alice McDowd. But even in the midst of such trying times, Evelyn never wavered in her support for her friend.
During Roy's time in prison, Evelyn took it upon herself to lift his spirits by starting a book club and even managing to get a rare "chuckle" out of him during a phone call. It was a much-needed moment of lightness in an otherwise dark and difficult time for Roy.
In the upcoming episodes, Evelyn is determined to do whatever it takes to help lift Roy's spirits. His traumatic experience in prison has left him even more withdrawn than usual, and his other friends, Yasmeen Nazir, Nina Lucas, and Shona Platt, all agree that something needs to be done.
Nina comes up with a plan to tell Evelyn that Shona is sick and can't work her shift at the cafe, hoping that Roy will come down from his flat and help out. But even with this ploy, Roy is hesitant to leave his flat. It takes the sound of a smoke alarm to finally get him to put on his apron and start working.
Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when Roy heads out to take Shona some soup and is confronted by a group of bullies who start taunting and name-calling him. Overwhelmed by the memories of his traumatic experience, Roy collapses on the ground in pain. Thankfully, Carla Connor is there to rush to his aid and call for help.
Later, Shona reveals that she was never actually sick and that Roy was forced to go back to work before he was ready. Feeling betrayed and upset, Roy kicks both Shona and Evelyn out of the cafe. It seems like the trauma of his time in prison has taken a toll on Roy's mental health and emotions.
As Nina and Shona are talking on the corner of the street, they see an ambulance rushing past and stopping outside the cafe. Rushing over, they find paramedics performing CPR on Roy, who appears lifeless on the floor. Is this the end for Roy?
