Poor Roy and Hayley are going to be left homeless when their café and flat go up in smoke.
The Daily Star says that the Croppers will be having a quiet drink in the Rovers when Steve McDonald sees the fire break out from the Streetcars office and rushes in to the pub to give them the bad news.
As the Cropper's café and flat go up in flames, Rita (Barbara Knox) lets the hapless couple stay with her but the fire leaves Roy depressed and worried about his business.
The fire will pave the way to a return to the cobbles for cabbie Lloyd Mullaney (Craig Charles). The paper says that it will be Lloyd who first sees the fire break out and he contacts the emergency services. Craig Charles was suspended from Coronation Street after his drug problems last summer but is reported as returning to Corrie as if he’s never been away.
