Character prison fears
Coronation Street will air a surprise in the Lauren Bolton story as another character faces prison. Roy Cropper has been the prime suspect for the disappearance and death of Lauren Bolton, and next week, we will see Roy get arrested after DS Swain is convinced he is the only person that can be responsible for what happened. On Friday’s episode, we will see DS Swain take Roy in for questioning as his solicitor Dee Dee sits alongside him.
She sees him as responsible for what happened, and both Roy and Dee-Dee are shocked when she brings up his history. Dee Dee later returns to Roys Rolls on her own, where she confirms to those there that Roy has been charged with Lauren’s murder
He is left worried next week when he gets summoned to the station to face further questioning. In the prison, Roy refuses to leave the cell and won’t eat. DS Swain leaves Bobby shaken when she reminds him that perverting the course of justice is very serious. Bobby heads home to Carla, where he tells her that under pressure, he saw a man waring a balaclava and a dark coat with a fur-trimmed hood. When Bobby tells the others he’s changed his statement, Cassie, Evelyn and Nina are all interested to see if this can help get Roy out of the problem he’s in. When they recognise the coat and where it’s come from – has Bobby unwittingly accused Daniel?
