Coronation Street star Tony Maudsley has revealed what he is 'hoping and praying' for after the soap introduced a new cast member. Fans of the ITV soap quickly fell head over heels earlier this week as they were introduced to cute pooch Freddie as he made his debut in Roy's Rolls.
The four-legged newcomers arrival came as Roy faced a devastating sudden death. The character couldn't quite take in the news that a close friend had passed away, just hours after he met up with and spoke to them. Melvyn sadly lost his life after suffering a medical emergency, with his bereft sister leaving his beloved pet dog Freddie in the care of Roy for the time being.
Melvyn had visited Roy in the café and they planned to go on a day trip together, along with Freddie the dog. But it wasn't long after the pair had set off to visit a bat roost that Roy returned with some worrying news. He revealed to his niece, Nina, and Shona that Melvyn had to be rushed to the hospital.
