Roy has repeatedly protested his innocence, and his loved ones on the Cobbles are doing their best to support him.

However, Carla Connor is in a compromising situation after her nephew Bobby Crawford revealed he had given the police a false statement about what he saw in the lead up to Lauren going missing.

In upcoming Coronation Street scenes, Roy calls the cafe hoping to speak to Nina, and Shona passes the phone to Carla.

However, Carla hangs up, making out it was a dodgy line and hurries out.

In his prison cell, Roy has another flashback of Lauren approaching the cafe counter with Max, but can’t work out what’s significant about their conversation.

When a prison officer bangs on the door, a frustrated Roy loses his chain of thought.

Meanwhile in the factory, Bobby tells Carla that he reckons Roy must have kept quiet about the false statement or the police would have come knocking by now.

Back at the jail, Nina sits in the visiting room and explains to the prison officer that she’s waiting for Roy Cropper.

As the officer lets himself into Roy’s cell, he finds him collapsed on the floor. 

Will Roy be OK?

Previous spoilers revealed how Bobby had been summoned back to the station for further questioning, where DS Swain gave a shaken Bobby a grilling, and reminded him that perverting the course of justice is a serious offence and carries a custodial sentence.

Bobby returned home and told Carla how under pressure, he made out that the intruder in Lauren’s flat was wearing a balaclava and a dark coat with a fur-trimmed hood.

Later, Bobby revealed that he’d changed his statement as he suddenly remembered seeing a man running out of Lauren’s flat, Cassie, Evelyn and Nina listened with interest.

Cassie told Evelyn and Nina that not long after Lauren’s disappearance, she remembered seeing a coat in the charity shop fitting the description Bobby gave.

Evelyn and Cassie returned from the charity shop and told Nina that the coat was gone but there were some other clothes that came in with it, and one of the jumpers had a name tag – Daniels.

The teacher was then brought in for further questioning.

Coronation Street airs on ITV1 and is available on ITVX.
