Stu Carpenter brutally attacked and mugged in shock Coronation Street storyline
STU tries to help Roy Cropper but gets bricked in return
STU Carpenter will be violently attacked this week in Coronation Street.
The Speed Daal chef – who is played by actor Bill Fellows in the ITV soap – will be drawn into pal Roy Cropper’s problems as he tries to help him after the cafe owner has been accused of murder.
Viewers know Roy had nothing to do with Lauren Bolton’s disappearance but the police are convinced he killed her.
And this week they charge him, putting him in prison awaiting trial.
But with Roy coming under increased harassment by trolls and crank calls, the cafe staff try to stop answering the phone.
However when Nina insists they continue because Roy is hoping for a call from Lauren’s mother, they have no choice.
Later when Stu reads more hurtful comments about Roy online, he tells Yasmeen and Alya that he’s going to help.
Determined to clear Roy’s name because he knows what it’s like to be falsely accused, Stu jumps into action.
In the precinct, Stu talks to a homeless guy, hoping for information about Lauren and as he pulls out his wallet, he fails to notice the guy picking up a brick.
He’s attacked and left battered and bloody – all for trying to help Roy.
Stu returns to Speed Daal with a bloodied face and explains to Yasmeen how he had his wallet stolen and was hit with a brick.
Later there’s another cruel blow for Roy when he gets news from late wife Hayley’s son Christian.
Roy reels in shock as Evelyn reveals that Hayley’s son, Christian has posted some hurtful things about him and Hayley online.
And there’s a bigger shock when Lauren’s Mum, Kerry, calls at the café and introduces herself to Roy and Nina.
But what does she want? And should Roy trust her?
