Coronation Street fans were in floods of tears over the recent devastating loss of Cerberus the greyhound. But hearts are set to melt next week as viewers meet a new lead role in the ITV soap.
Adorable pooch Freddie is the pawfect addition to the cobbles, fimed in Trafford, after soap watchers were left distraught by the sudden death of Evelyn Plummer's faithful companion. Cerberus after he gobbled up an Eccles cake Roy had accidentally dropped behind the counter in his cafe.
Freddie bounds into Roy's life after he heads off to visit a local bat roost with his friend Melvyn, and sadly Melvyn takes a funny turn. Roy returns to the café clutching Freddie and explains to Shona Platt and niece Nina Lucas how his pal ended up in hospital and there was nobody to look after the dog.
