    Coronation Street's Roy Cropper is to be arrested for assault.

    The beloved ITV soap character, played by David Neilson, is to snap after weeks of being tormented by a local gang and will lash out at an intruder who breaks into his café, the Daily Star newspaper reports.

    After hearing someone moving around in Roy's Rolls, he takes a bat downstairs and begins swinging wildly at the burglar, who he is shocked to discover is neighbour Gary Windass (Mikey North).

    And despite Gary having broken into the café to steal cash from the till to pay for his child's Christmas presents, Roy is overcome by guilt and pleads with the judge to send him to jail after he's charged with assault and given 100 hours' community service.

    Roy says: ''The legal system has proven that it's totally inadequate.

    ''It's not right at all, there was a security guard charged with actual bodily harm and got a 10-month sentence. I've committed a violent crime, I deserve to be in prison.''

    However, Roy's neighbours are to jump to his defence, insisting Gary got what was coming to him.

    Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) says: ''Roy is a decent bloke. If Gary hadn't been breaking in this would never have happened.''

    Busybody Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) adds: ''That lad has been nothing but trouble.''

    This is a bit out of character for Gary. His child is so young he would be happy with a little inexpensive gift or not bothered if he did not get anything at all.

    Perhaps this is to give Gary a new storyline
    by revisiting the stress he suffered after
    military service and blaming his actions on
    that.
    Also make him even more unacceptable to
    Alyas family !

    I agree hard times is probable cause but
    think.military trauma will be used as form
    of jusification.
    Dont think Alyas family will be impressed
    by burglary.
    SWs got into.an ethnic quagmire. Might be
    a way out.
    Gary another once promising character-
    now deteriorating.

    Coronation Street's Roy Cropper will finally reach a turning point in the New Year as he scatters his late wife Hayley's ashes.

    David Neilson, who plays Roy, was spotted filming the poignant scenes out on location in Manchester yesterday (December 3).

    Paparazzi photographs show that Roy will scatter the ashes at the boating lake where he and Hayley shared their first kiss.

    Tyrone Dobbs (Alan Halsall) and Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) will both join Roy in order to pay their own respects to Hayley.

    The scenes hint at a fresh start for Roy, as he previously planned to scatter Hayley's ashes in Blackpool two months ago but was unable to go through with it.

    Roy didn't feel ready to let go of Hayley when he paid a visit to the seaside resort in October, but it seems that he will be in a different mindset when these scenes air in early 2015.

    Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn has previously confirmed that fans will see Roy on "an upward path" next year, but not before he experiences a difficult Christmas.

    Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn has revealed more about the new friendship coming up for Roy Cropper.

    After a difficult year, Roy looks likely to reach a turning point in a future storyline as he gets his own allotment and strikes up a bond with a new female character.

    While romance isn't on the cards for the popular café owner, viewers will see him back to his old self after a year of grief for his late wife Hayley.

    Blackburn told Inside Soap: "Roy meets a widowed lady over on the next allotment. She's not going to be a love interest, but someone who Roy will feel obliged to help guide through the world.

    "We know how nervous Roy is around people he doesn't know, so the fact that he's able to come out of his shell and offer real, redemptive support to a complete stranger is a sign that the Roy we all know and love is back."

    Blackburn also promised that there is much more to come for Tracy Barlow's feud with Carla Connor, which intensified with Rob Donovan's arrest late last year. Obviously Tracy saves her from the crash then !

    He said: "Tracy blames Carla for losing Rob and that will always be at the back of her mind. We have a story coming up where Carla will unknowingly take something away from Tracy that she holds dear.

    "In Tracy's head, it'll be the last time Carla ever does that. Remember, Tracy's killed before and got away with it."

    Coronation Street continues at 7pm tonight (January 21) as the show's mini-bus crash storyline continues.
