Roy Cropper to find estranged family?

Coronation Street's Roy Cropper will find out his estranged father has died in an upcoming storyline.

He will then pay a visit to the place where he has been buried. David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh were recently spotted filming the scenes on-location.

Pictures of the gravestone reveal that St John only died in February, meaning that Roy will have narrowly missed out on a chance of a reunion with his father.

The grave says 'Father to Jonathan, Stephen, Isabelle and Royston', indicating that there are other siblings that Roy currently has no contact with.

A Coronation Street insider told Inside Soap: "Roy has a lot of thinking to do - this is a whole side of his family he has no relationship with. It's a big step to make contact. Is Roy ready?

"It's clearly a sad moment for Roy as he lays some flowers down on the grave. Thankfully, Hayley is by his side to help him cope."

Best thing about this is that Roy's established backstory supports it

Quote:

Roy appears to have had an unhappy childhood. His father, a french polisher, walked out on his mother when he was 10, and didn't get in touch for 8 years. He had sold the family car, cashed in insurances and started a new life in New Zealand. The young Roy took this very badly, and even though his mother and father have both re-married he still feels deeply about it. Roy hated his stepfather and left eventually home to fend for himself.

roy makes corri -not just the rolls.
