In this week’s Coronation Street, the soap aired some heartbreaking death scenes.
Evelyn Plummer was in tears as her companion dog, Cerberus, was put to sleep.
Fans of the ITV soap have been left in bits over the upsetting scenes.
Coronation Street: Cerberus passed away
Coronation Street aired some emotional scenes on Wednesday March 22 as Cerberus the dog passed away.
After Cerberus fell ill, Tyrone encouraged Evelyn to take her dog to the vets.
Evelyn was worried when Cerberus didn’t have the energy to greet her as she came home.
As the vet ran some tests on Cerberus, Evelyn sat in the cafe waiting for a phone call.
Here, Roy told her that Cerberus may have eaten an Eccles cake that had dropped on the floor in the café. The sultanas in them are poisonous to dogs.
After hearing this shock confession, Evelyn blamed Roy for making her dog fall ill.
Things got worse when the vet later informed Evelyn that Cerberus had kidney failure, with the humane thing to do being to put him to sleep.
Evelyn was sobbing as she stayed with her companion until the last second.
After Cerberus had passed away, Evelyn returned home and blamed Roy for killing her dog. She made it clear that their friendship died the second Cerberus did.
Coronation Street fans demand awards after Cerberus’ death

A third fan tweeted: “RIP Cerberus. You gave one heck of an acting masterclass. If there was a BAFTA for best performance by an animal in a continuing drama, then you would win paws down. We’ll miss you.”
Another declared: “Maureen Lipman deserves awards for tonight’s episode. Having been through what Evelyn is going through I know the raw emotion is so real. The loss of a beloved pet is gut wrenching.”
A fifth also commented: “Absolutely bawling at Corrie tonight. Currently holding my fur baby so tight right now!”
“WOW!!! What an emotional scene. Goodbye Cerberus you will be missed. Give Maureen Lipman all the awards,” declared one more.
Another added: “…And the soap award for best actor goes to… Cerberus the greyhound! Fabulous performance. (Best supporting actress award to Maureen Lipman, too).”
“Give Maureen Lipman any awards going because she deserves them all after that!!” agreed another. And someone else added: “If the Evelyn and Cerberus story line doesn’t get nominated for a British Soap Award this year, then there’s something wrong.”
“Get Cerberus a British Soap Award,” said one more. Meanwhile, someone else said: “And the Oscar goes to …. the wonderful dog that plays Cerberus, what a fantastic actor that beautiful boy is.”
Will Evelyn forgive Roy after Cerberus’ death?
At the moment, Evelyn blames Roy for her dog’s death.
Tyrone told Roy that he shouldn’t be so hard on himself – the Eccles cake had nothing to do with Cerberus’ kidney failure. However, later this week, Evelyn continues to blame Roy.
Roy vows to stop using his mobile phone as Cerberus may still be alive if he hadn’t been so distracted by his online chess match. However in scenes on Friday, Evelyn appears to be softening.
Can Evelyn forgive Roy?
