Coronation Street: Roy needs to shave his beard, fans demand

Roy grew his hair out whilst in prison

Last week on the cobbles, much-loved Coronation Street character Roy Cropper was finally released from prison after being wrongly accused of murder.

With Nathan charged for Lauren Bolton’s murder, Roy was finally able to go home to his loved ones.

Corrie fans have now pointed out though that Roy is yet to do one important thing now that he’s a free man…

Coronation Street: Roy is free

Corrie fans will have been on the edge of their seats for last week’s rollercoaster episodes which saw Roy’s life hanging on a thread.

With Griff confronting him over Lauren’s ‘murder’ in his prison cell, Griff threatened him with a sharp object.

He then demanded that Roy ended his own life, writing a final letter to Nina. However, Roy begged him to let him give Nina one last phone call.

As Roy was on the phone to his niece, the prison security team then entered the cell and removed Griff before any harm could come to Roy.

Later on, Roy was freed from prison due to Nathan now being charged and made a prime suspect in the Lauren case.
