Coronation St (Roy)

[Caribeing]

Roy Cropper must be one of the the best TV soap characters ever. Tonight's episode with Sylvia and Hayley was poignant humorous and touching.

[Bbbananas]

Agree. Fabulous acting, fabulous character.

[DJHawkes]

Sat by the guy that plays Roy Cropper once at Villa park, Villa v Leicester city. He is a Leicester fan.

[DJHawkes]

He has that same shopping bag a long time, and his wife Hailey has that red jacket forever.

[tonyav]

Thats what I thought as well, dot.

Interesting to see how Roy (aka David Neilson) looked when he appeared in Boys From The Blackstuff/Jobs For The Boys back in 1982 (he appears about 2 mins 30 secs into this clip).

That Michael Angelis was with Helen Worth for a good few years, think they were married.

[cupid04]

Ahhhh, nothing lasts forever in soapland!

That's right, netibiza, Michael Angelis and Helen Worth were married for 21 years.
