Coronation Street fans have threatened to 'never watch' the soap again as they predict heartbreaking scenes ahead - and they're not wrong. During Monday night's trip to the cobbles (March 20), viewers of the ITV soap watched as Evelyn Plummer paid Roy Cropper a visit in the cafe with her beloved Cerberus in tow.
Roy was left apologising for missing Evelyn's birthday party and opened up to her about Carla Connor's recent problems which have seen her leave Weatherfield after fearing her psychosis returned, not knowing she is being drugged with LSD by Stephen Reid.
The pair chatted for a while before Evelyn decided to leave, calling Cerberus from behind the Roys Rolls counter. Later, at home with Fiz Stape, Evelyn appeared concerned when her beloved pooch showed no interest in his tea.
Spoilers for this week's episodes has already revealed that tragic scenes are on the way as viewers will be saying a sad farewell to a Weatherfield favourite. Coming up, with Cerberus still sick, a concerned Tyrone Dobbs insists they take him to the vet. When the vet suggests food poisoning, a guilty Roy reveals he dropped an Eccles cake in the café and fears Cerberus may have eaten it.
Both angry and worried, Evelyn tells Roy that if anything happens to her beloved greyhound, she’ll never forgive him. But then, the vet breaks the news to Evelyn that Cerberus is suffering from kidney failure.
Later, Evelyn shuts Roy out and brands the cafe a death trap, while Roy tells Nina he’s getting rid of his phone as had he not been distracted, he would never have dropped the cake and Cerberus may still be alive.
But as Corrie fans work out the heartbreaking twist following the first Weatherfield trip of the week, they are already struggling at the idea of seeing Evelyn's beloved dog die. @Dee_Cee95x tweeted: "As if there’s no enough misery in #Corrie we’re about to see Cerberus die and Evelyn be absolutely heartbroken aren’t we?"
@_HeatherAshton said: "Stephen is p*****g me off 3 nights a week so what does Corrie do? Kills off the innocent dog Cerberus this is NOT what we asked for #Corrie." @sofaneilas cried: "Poor Cerberus. I can't have the dog dying they can kill all the characters but leave the dogs alone! #corrie." @MCRJourno posted: "I can see it now, I’m gonna ball my eyes out when Cerberus gets put down in @itvcorrie! I balled my eyes out to Marly and me!"
@leejonathan shared: "Knowing that cerberus is going to die from eating the eccles cake is setting off my anxiety #corrie." @mikepriestley13 posted: "Cerberus is ill, I lost my dog a couple of months ago this little storyline will hurt me #Corrie." @joanna19x0 added: "If they kill off cerberus I will never watch Corrie again, why would they do this #Corrie."
