Coronation Street favourite Roy Cropper plans to leave Weatherfield next week.
The Roys Rolls café owner, played by David Neilson, voices his decision to flee the Cobbles to his devastated friends and family in emotional scenes.
DS Abney calls at No.13 and reveals that the gun used to kill Natasha Blakeman was the same gun used by Tez in a raid several years ago.
Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) meets up with Tez in Victoria Garden and begs him to keep the police off her back. Roy clocks their exchange with concern.
Nick Tilsley (Ben Price) calls in the cafe and tells Roy how the police are in the process of tracing the gun that was used to kill Natasha.
Kevin Webster (Michael Le Vell) meets up with Tez in the ginnel and implores him not to ruin Abi’s life.
Roy advises Abi to tell the police the truth about the gun.
DS Abney calls at the cafe and tells Roy that she has some more questions she’d like to ask him about the night of the sinkhole collapse.
Roy tells Abi that yet again he’s had to lie to the police on her behalf.
Abi tells Kevin that it’s only a matter of time before the police link her to the gun.
Roy tells Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) that the gun used to kill Natasha was the same one Abi was going to use to kill Corey and that as a result, they must both accept responsibility for Natasha’s death.
DS Abney calls at No.13 and tells Abi and Kevin that they’ve arrested Tez, but so far he can’t remember who he sold the gun to.
Roy calls at the solicitors and tells Imran that he wants to sign over his flat and his business to Nina as he no longer needs them.
When Roy asserts that he no longer wants to burden her with his own pain and guilt, Nina’s troubled.
When Sally Metcalfe (Sally Dynevor) suggests they discuss ideas for the Christmas Market, Roy asserts that he won’t be getting involved. He calls at the garage and asks Abi to sell the Woody for him as soon as possible.
When Abi reveals that Roy’s selling the Woody, Nina’s more worried than ever.
When Nina finds out from Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) that Roy has signed over his entire estate to her with immediate effect, she’s shocked.
Nina tells Abi that she’s frightened Roy is going to take his own life. Roy reveals that he plans to leave Weatherfield for good.
He explains that he’s taking a job as a chef in South America.
