Fans of Coronation Street were left feeling completely gutted after Roy Cropper put an end to his friendship with Carla Barlow.
It was all kicking off on Monday night’s visit to Corrie as Roy took ill unexpectedly in his prison cell. Cafe owner Roy was charged with Lauren Bolton’s murder not so long ago, however, police have not been able to find Lauren’s body and are still unsure whether she’s actually dead.
In the episode, Roy continued to struggle after learning that Carla’s nephew Bobby Crawford had given him a false alibi in his recent police interview. Knowing that the pair have been manipulating the truth, Roy was left feeling “uncomfortable” with the whole ordeal.

After being rushed to the hospital from his prison cell, Roy received a visit from Carla and delivered her a few home truths. He said: “I’ve no wish for you or Bobby to be punished for what you’ve done. Nevertheless, your deceit is something I cannot move past.
“I feel very uncomfortable and I’d rather you didn’t visit me again. In fact, as far as I’m concerned, this is the end of our friendship.”
But fans couldn’t believe what they were seeing and headed over to X formerly known as Twitter to complain. One upset viewer said: “That’s the last straw for #Corrie! How could they break up one of the best friendships on the show?”
Another fumed: “Are they seriously throwing the Roy/Carla friendship under the bus? One of the few good ones left.”
A third said: “NOOO CARLA AND ROY this is making me sob corrie why are you doing this to me.” While a fourth added: “Nah, I’m not okay I adored Roy and Carla’s friendship why ruin it!!”
Some fans also seemed to think Bobby was the culprit who caused the rift in Carla and Roy’s friendship. One viewer shared: “Carla lost her friendship with Roy over Bobby, of all people? What a bloody idiot! I’d have sent Bobby packing on the next train to London!”
While another penned: “Making Roy ‘complicit’ in Bobby and Carla’s lie to protect Bobby is such a shame. They’ve got a beautiful friendship and it should never be comprised.”
