Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street has revealed further details of Roy Cropper’s sad prison story, as he continues to face suspicion over the disappearance of teen Lauren Bolton.
After Lauren suddenly vanished earlier this year, Roy has been accused of her murder, and scenes later this week see him being taken into custody following an incident with a woman posing as Lauren’s mum.
Things will take an even darker turn in scenes airing on Monday, April 15 and Wednesday, April 17, as Roy remains in police custody. After he and his solicitor Dee-Dee Bailey take their seats in the police interview room, Roy asks Dee-Dee for a piece of paper and an envelope and begins to write.

As the court hearing gets underway, the CPS barrister paints a picture of Roy as a murderer with a violent past. Much to Roy’s dismay, they go into detail about his previous brushes with the law, including his assault on Gary Windass and historic abduction of foster child Wayne Hayes.
Later on, Nina Lucas, Evelyn Plummer and Carla Barlow await Roy’s bail hearing. When Dee-Dee hurries over and hands Nina a letter from Roy, the trio are forced to fight back tears when they realise that Roy is convinced he’s going to prison.
Unable to face sitting through the hearing, Evelyn heads back to the café to check on dog Freddie instead.

Back at the court, Dee-Dee presents her case and urges the judge to grant Roy bail. Sadly for Roy, the judge refuses the application and orders that he be held in custody until his murder trial arrives.
The next day, devastated Roy sits in his prison cell and turns away his breakfast, before refusing to leave the cell.
How will Roy cope in prison?
