Coronation Street fans were in bits as a beloved Weatherfield character passed away in heartbreaking scenes. Viewers of the ITV soap were warned of upsetting scenes as Evelyn Plummer was forced to have her trusted greyhound Cerberus put to sleep after he fell seriously ill.
Tragedy struck on the cobbles after, in Monday night's episode, Evelyn calls in Roy Cropper's cafe with Cerberus in tow. When Cerberus later showed no interest in his tea, Evelyn was concerned.
With Cerberus still sick in Wednesday night's instalment, a concerned Tyrone Dobbs insisted that he and his gran took him to the vets. When the vet suggested food poisoning, a guilty Roy revealed he'd dropped an Eccles cake in the café and feared Cerberus may have eaten it.
