Coronation Street fans and characters have been left reeling after Monday's (April 11) episode. The long-running show aired a sudden death and character Roy Cropper, for one, was devastated.
As the show aired at the beginning of the week, the ITV soap delivered a bombshell storyline and Roy Cropper, played by actor David Neilson, just couldn't comprehend the news. As he discovered a close friend had passed away, just hours after he spoke to them, Roy was visibly devastated by the sudden loss.
Newcomer to Weatherfield, Melvyn, died after a medical emergency, leaving his beloved pooch 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.
