ITV Coronation Street Kerry’s real identity exposed amid sinister Roy Cropper twist as fans fume

Lauren’s mum Kerry will be exposed for who she really is in Coronation Street this week.

Kerry made her arrival earlier this week – claiming she is the mum of missing Lauren Bolton. However, in a twist, later this week it will be confirmed that she isn’t who she says she is and is actually a lady called Alice.

Fans have been left fuming by Kerry’s arrival and are convinced she is hiding something, which of course is the case. ‘Kerry’ has arrived as part of Roy Cropper’s shocking arrest storyline, which will see him charged with murder.

One fan wrote: “I don’t trust ‘Kerry’ at all. #Corrie #CoronationStreet @itvcorrie,” whilst a second added: “Nina knows this woman isn’t legit – she should ask Kerry for ID. #Corrie.” A third shared: “Get Evelyn to speak to Kerry. She’ll smell a rat within seconds!! #Corrie,” with a fourth penning: “I knew ‘Kerry’ wasn’t legit. Poor Roy #Corrie.”

Spoilers for Friday’s episode of Coronation Street has confirmed that Kerry is at Roy’s under false pretences. During the night, she secretly films Roy’s living room and makes him out to be a murderer in her commentary. When Roy sleep walks into the room, Kerry quickly pretends to be asleep. Elsewhere, Nick and Sam pop by where Nick apologises to Roy.

He then tells Roy that when everything returns back to normal, he’d be happy for Roy and Sam to spend more time together. Sam sweetly tells Roy that he’s his best friend forever, as Kerry watches on.

Roy is confused when he gets a call from Lauren’s mum and asks him not to contact her again. As all eyes are on Kerry, she admits that she’s actually a lady called Alice. Alice starts filming Roy and Evelyn as they head out with Freddie. When Roy tries to stop her from filming, she stumbles and bangs her head, accusing Roy of assault. Is he now in more trouble?

On Friday, Roy will find himself charged with murder. David Neilson – who has played Roy for decades – explained: “Roy is innocent in every respect, he is innocent of the crime, but he is also an innocent soul.

“He never thought for one minute it would come to this, he truly felt that if he simply answered everything honestly it would all be okay and he was naïve to assume that being innocent meant that he would be seen to be innocent. What I like about this storyline is the way it has gone back 29 years to 1995 when Roy first arrived. It is reminiscent of that early Roy Cropper when people were suspicious of his behaviour and thought he was creepy. And all this history will be used against him, things that have happened in the past like abducting their foster child. All that makes this storyline interesting to play and to watch it unfold.”
