Coronation Street takes a dark turn next week as a Weatherfield legend finds themselves in grave danger.
With Roy Cropper (David Neilson) remanded in custody, awaiting trial for Lauren Bolton’s (Cait Fitton) murder, the pressure is mounting both on the man himself and those trying to prove his innocence.
While friends and family who know him are convinced that Roy is innocent, others certainly aren’t. And when far right activist Griff Reynolds (Michael Condron) lands back in Weatherfield Prison, he takes it upon himself to try and force a confession out of Roy.

Griff is out for blood and it soon becomes clear that Roy is in grave danger. As DS Swain (Vicky Myers) and Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) are about to crack the murder case, fans will be hit with a bolt out of the blue as a new piece of evidence reveals who Lauren’s killer really is.
Have the police got their man or is a predator still at large? In Roy’s prison cell, the book he was reading lies soaked in tea with a broken spine. DS Swain visits Roy in prison and asks him outright if his recent fallout with pal Carla Barlow (Alison King) has anything to do with Bobby Crawford’s (Jack Carroll) statement.
Hellbent on revenge, Griff enters Roy’s prison cell. Griff orders Roscoe to lure Roy to the prison library as he enters his empty cell. Returning from the library, Roy’s shocked to come face to face with Griff. Pulling out a weapon, Griff demands Roy tell him what he did with Lauren’s body. With Roy refusing to confess to murder, Griff holds the makeshift knife to his throat and orders Roy to say his last words. Will Roy survive the attack?
