Coronation Street fans have begged the soap to ensure that nothing bad happens to Roy Cropper, fearing they could kill him off.
Yesterday evening in Weatherfield (Wednesday, September 3), Roy celebrated Carla and Lisa’s engagement.
But, fans couldn’t help but fret over his back pains which led to him heading home early.
Roy’s back pains in Coronation Street
Carla and Lisa were buzzing to tell Roy that they got engaged to each other yesterday.
After Carla accepted Lisa’s proposal on the cobbles, they headed into Roy’s Rolls to tell him the great news.
Roy wished the couple as much happiness as he and Hayley had when they were married.
Carla then asked him to walk her down the aisle, putting her arms around him. It was then that Roy complained of back pains.
Later on, at the Rovers, Roy joined the happy couple for a drink to celebrate. However, Betsy pulled his arm to encourage him to sit down with them, and ended up making his back pain worse.
He then decided to head back home to lie down in a bid to ease the pain.

Another person commented: “Please don’t tell me Roy is ill.”
A third viewer also added: “They’re killing Roy off with these back pains. OMG I feel sick.”
