    He seemed to leave fairly quickly but I presume Yasmeen will help out if needed, otherwise it'll just be Shona and Alex.
    Hope he's back soon.

    Roy Cropper suffers heartbreak yet again as he discovers he has a long-lost brother - then finds out he’s dying.

    While going through the possessions of his late mum Sylvia, he learns she had an affair, gave birth in secret and then gave her son away.

    After months of intense research Roy, played by David Neilson since 1995, finds out his half-brother is called Paul.

    But then when he finally meets him, he delivers the bombshell news.

    A source said: “It’s a cruel twist for the much-loved character, as he was so thrilled to discover he has more family after losing his mother.

    “It was particularly hard for him to deal with as he’d already had to cope with his wife, Hayley, enduring a terminal illness.”

    I'm wondering if this brother has a family of his own who are going to come into the show as new characters? Otherwise why bother bringing him into it in the first place, unless they just want to heap more misery on top of Roy?

    Coronation Street's Roy Cropper made a surprise exit from the cobbles in November, as he climbed into the back of a taxi and set off for the airport, bound for a new job in South America.

    Many fans were devastated to see the soap stalwart leave his beloved Roy's Rolls behind, apparently for good, but it has now been reported that Roy could be making a shock comeback sooner than expected.

    Actor David Neilson, who plays Roy, has already been spotted back on the set of the ITV soap after taking a short break, and it's claimed that he will be part of a "dramatic storyline" over the coming months, The Sun reports.

    Viewers had seen Roy's guilt over lying to the police about the events of Super Soap Week mounting, after he stopped Abi Franklin (Sally Carman) from shooting Corey Brent (Maximus Evans) and agreed to cover for her in the face of police questioning.

    Already battling with his conscience over the lie, Roy was further stricken when he learned that the gun Abi abandoned was the same one used to fatally shoot Natasha Blakeman (Rachel Leskovac).

    Feeling that he couldn't remain on the street any longer, Roy asked Abi to sell his car and signed his flat and caf? over to niece Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher). Despite the best efforts of his friends to convince him to stay, Roy remained determined to leave Weatherfield behind.

    After saying a final goodbye to a heartbroken Nina in the caf?, and ignoring her pleas for him not to leave her, Roy set off for South America, where he had secured a new role feeding conservation workers.

    Since Roy's exit, there has been no on-screen hint of his return but Corrie has also not confirmed that fans have said goodbye to the much-loved character for good.

    Actor David has also remained coy about his future on the cobbles, recently telling Inside Soap: "There are two exits in this for me: one for the character and one for David. Hopefully they won't coincide ? maybe they will.

    "I know Roy leaving will get a reaction. It's a big part of your life and a big part of that popular culture. He will be remembered for a long while."

    Coronation Street is set to air a mystery health scare for cobbles favourite Roy Cropper.

    Roy has frequently clashed with Evelyn Plummer this year, most recently when Evelyn blamed Roy for the death of her beloved dog Cerberus.

    But in upcoming scenes, Evelyn will find herself worrying for her friend's health, after he starts experiencing some worrying symptoms during a salsa class.

    After Evelyn persuades Roy to accompany her to a salsa class, she and Glenda realise they have their work cut out for them. But as the salsa lesson gets underway, Roy admits he doesn't feel well and clutches his chest before hurrying out of the room.

    Later Evelyn goes to the caf? and chides Roy for abandoning her mid-lesson. But he reiterates that he felt unwell, though refuses to say more about his symptoms, causing Evelyn to leave disgruntled.

    After the salsa incident, Roy attends an appointment with Dr Gaddas and describes how he has been suffering from chest pains and breathlessness. Dr Gaddas tells Roy she'll arrange for some tests to see what's going on.

    But when Evelyn finds out about Roy's health worries, she insists on accompanying him to the hospital.

    Previously, fans of Corrie have speculated that Roy and Evelyn's relationship could eventually turn romantic, thanks to their on-screen chemistry.

    But recently actress Maureen Lipman, who plays Evelyn, shut down the speculation: "I don't think Evelyn has the hots for Roy, or him for her. It's lukewarm at best and I don't think she's going to get her vest off.

    "But there are many forms of love ? they're lonely people. She had the chance for romance with Arthur and sort of blew it. I think the stable door is shut and the horse has bolted. She does want to spend time with him [as] Roy understands about grieving. He gets where she's coming from ? [it] doesn't take much to bring her round because she knows where her bread's best buttered."

    Coronation Street has been filming Roy Cropper scenes in court.

    Thanks to paparazzi photos taken from the soap's set, which feature actor David Neilson arriving in court, we're now wondering what exactly his Weatherfield character has done to justify his surroundings.

    Calum Lill was present too, as Roy's solicitor Joel Deering, while it's also confirmed that the Roy's Rolls owner will be supported by his niece Nina Lucas and friend Carla Barlow throughout this storyline.

    For now, though, it's just mere speculation as to why Roy finds himself here. He has previous with protesting; could something have happened involving Nina? Has he been falsely accused of committing a crime?

    One possible direction is the disappearance of Lauren Bolton; in upcoming scenes, Bobby Crawford reveals to Lauren that he knows all about her O-Vidz account, leading her to clam up.

    Speaking to Bethany Platt later on, Lauren confesses to being skint and suggests she could sell her far-right brainwashing story to a magazine. At the caf?, Bobby searches for Lauren only to be told that Roy has let her go. Roy heads to her flat with her wages, where she thanks him while revealing her plans to start afresh away from Weatherfield.

    Bobby then lets himself into Lauren's place after noticing the unlocked door. There's no sign of her, though, so he sends Lauren a text before leaving. Bobby later admits to Max Turner that he's concerned about the missing Lauren.

    Will Roy be summoned by the court to provide a chronology of events?
