Roy and Cathy to visit Blackpool
Roy Cropper is heading back to Blackpool for more emotional scenes.
The popular café owner will visit the seaside resort with his new friend and possible love interest Cathy Matthews in an upcoming episode
David Neilson and Melanie Hill, who play Roy and Cathy, were spotted filming the scenes on location today (July 14).
The pair's trip will initially go well, but Cathy inadvertently says the wrong thing when she suggests going for a paddle in the sea.
Memories of Roy's late wife Hayley flood back to him as a result, leading to him getting emotional and running off.
Roy visited Blackpool with Hayley in October 2013, enjoying a bittersweet holiday with her after she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
He paid another visit last year when he considered scattering Hayley's ashes in the town.
Earlier this month, Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn confirmed that Roy and Cathy will continue to grow closer following his recent discovery of her hoarding secret.
Blackburn said: "Roy and Cathy have been muddling along at the allotment but that is a friendship that is going to really develop and blossom when Roy discovers Cathy's secret.
"She has been very troubled since the death of her husband, she has problems with her house and so she ends up moving in with Roy. But don't worry, it is just as friends."
