Corrie set for dramatic fire at Roy’s Rolls
According to The Sun (Thursday, March 19), Roy’s Rolls will be targeted in a shocking arson attack, with someone deliberately setting the building alight.
The terrifying scenes will reportedly see Roy Cropper rushed to hospital by paramedics as his life hangs in the balance.
A source told the publication: “Roy’s Rolls is targeted by a mystery firestarter who breaks in and douses the cafe with petrol whilst Roy sleeps upstairs in his flat.
“When residents spot smoke coming out of the windows, emergency services are called.
“As the fire rages and people realise Roy is trapped inside the race is on to get him out alive.”
So far, the identity of the culprit remains under wraps, as does whether they knew Roy was inside at the time. But for fans, there’s only one acceptable ending to this storyline.
Coronation Street viewers beg bosses not to kill off Roy Cropper
With Roy Cropper’s life in danger, fans have taken to social media. They have plead with bosses not to kill off the much-loved character. For many, the show simply wouldn’t be the same without him.
One passionate fan wrote on X: “[Bleep], if Roy isn’t able to walk Carla down the aisle, I will get to the cobbles myself and kill whoever set that fire then again, it might be a wedding miracle for him to get better just in time.”
Another said: “Roy can’t die, he’s the Street’s unofficial counsellor.”
A third added: “Nope. Not having it. Leave our Roy alone!!”
Meanwhile, one viewer shared a heartbreaking theory: “What if the fire is so bad Roy knows he won’t make it out alive so he lays on the bed in the flat and Hayley comes and lays next to him and then he passes away?”
Whether Roy survives the blaze is a mystery, but it’s clear fans will be watching closely and hoping for the best.
