A heartbreaking death will rock the cobbles in Coronation Street next week.
A much-loved character will be killed off in the ITV soap with another character being blamed for their demise. Evelyn Plummer will be left distraught next week, when her beloved dog Cerberus suddenly falls ill and is rushed to the vets.
It doesn't take long before she finds out the cause of Cerberus' ill health and she rushes off to confront Roy Cropper, planting the blame on him. She is told it could be food poisoning and that tests need to be done as Roy reveals he dropped an eccles cake in the café earlier on in the week and he fears Cerberus may have eaten it.

The Mirror reported that Evelyn tells Roy that if anything happens to Cerberus, she’ll never forgive him. Sadly later on that day, the vet breaks the news to Evelyn that Cerberus is suffering from kidney failure.
There is nothing that can be done for the beloved pooch, and Evelyn is forced to say an emotional goodbye to him. These are Cerberus' final scenes on the soap following his debut in 2018.
In the fallout, Roy blames himself for the incident as does Evelyn and she brands his café a "death trap". Roy tells his niece 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 with Evelyn set to depart the show soon, will she and Roy manage to clear the air? Actress Maureen Lipman is heading for the stage and will perform a one woman show, Rose, at the West End later this year.
The stage show tells story of a woman who travels from Nazi-occupied Europe in order to set out on a new life in America after enduring hardship for years on end. Although Maureen will be leaving Coronation Street for an extended period in order to take to the stage, she will be making a return to the Cobbles.
