Roy Cropper finds himself in danger next week in Coronation Street.
In the café, an internet sleuth listens as Roy tells Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) and Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King) he has been asked to go back to the police station to be interviewed about Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) disappearance.
After hearing David (Jack P Shepherd) and Shona Platt (Julia Goulding) speculating whether Lauren’s dad’s far right group could be involved Max Turner (Paddy Beaver) decides to secretly pay Reece Bolton (Scott Anson) a visit in prison and tells him how Roy is wrongly suspected of Lauren’s murder when all he was clean the flat for her.
Later in the café, Roy finds himself alone apart from two dodgy men sitting at a table. When one of them gets up and locks the door, Roy realises he’s in danger. Later on the week, Nina’s appalled when she reads about some amateur sleuths who’ve been digging at the bat roost site hoping to find some evidence to put Roy in the frame for Lauren’s murder.
Roy loads his car boot with shovels and bin bags and heads for the roost site to ensure all is ok. But as he returns DS Lisa Swain (Victoria Myers) is waiting for him to take him to the station. Has Roy’s visit to the roost site cause him more problems? Nina, Carla Connor (Alison King), Bobby Crawford (Jack Carroll) , Max, Evelyn Plummer (Maxine Plummer), Asha Alahan (Tanisha Gorey) and Roy join together for Lauren’s vigil in the precinct.
But when Roy addresses the crowd and speaks fondly of Lauren and how much she meant to him, some lads make nasty comments and film him on their phones. How will Roy react? Evelyn, Carla and Nina urge Roy to keep a low profile until the police find out who really killed Lauren. Roy remains resolute. Later in the café, Nina confides in Carla how worried she is for Roy.
Evelyn’s taken aback when she comes across an article online describing Lauren as a sex worker. Roy’s adamant he doesn’t want to know the details. At No.9, Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) reads the article about Lauren’s sex work admits to Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) it brings back some awful memories for her. Cassie is angry when she finds Evelyn and Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) discussing Lauren in the shop. When Tyrone reveals that Cassie once had to resort to sex work, Fiz Dobbs (Jennie McAlpine) and Evelyn are stunned. But does Tyrone know the full story?
