Roy is trolled from all angles in upcoming scenes.
ROY Cropper is charged with murder and sent to prison in Coronation Street – as Lauren Bolton’s mum arrives.
The cafe owner has found himself in the middle of a living nightmare after becoming prime suspect in the disappearance of teenager Lauren.
Her whereabouts have been unknown for weeks now, and coming up in Coronation Street, he makes things even worse for himself after deciding to give Lauren’s mum a call.
As he awaits a call back, he receives a volley of abuse from trolls over the phone.
Later, Roy reels in shock as Evelyn reveals that Hayley’s son, Christian, has posted some hurtful things about him and Hayley online.
Soon after, Lauren’s mum, Kerry, calls at the café and introduces herself to Roy and Nina.
Roy welcomes her and invites her to stay at the flat above the cafe, but during the night, Kerry secretly films Roy’s living room and records a commentary making him out to be a murderer.
Kerry leaps back onto the sofa and pretends to be asleep when Roy sleepwalks into the room.
After reading the horrible online comments Christian wrote about Roy, Nick and Sam call at the cafe flat where Nick apologises to Roy and assures him that when things are back to normal, he’d be happy for Sam to spend time with him.
When Sam tells Roy that he’s his best friend, Kerry secretly takes note.
A shaken Roy heads down to the cafe and explains to Shona and Nina that he’s just had a call from Lauren’s mum asking him not to contact her again.
With all eyes on the person they thought was Lauren’s mum, she admits she isn’t Kerry, and is actually called Alice.
As Roy and Evelyn head out with Freddie, they come face to face with Alice who starts filming them and as Roy tries to stop her, she stumbles and bangs her head.
Accusing him of assault, Alice hurries away. Has Roy got himself into more trouble?
Later, Dee-Dee returns to the café and breaks the news to Carla, Nina, Shona and Evelyn that Roy has been charged with the murder of Lauren Bolton.
Meanwhile, Roy sits alone in his police cell, his mind completely numb with fear.
Will anyone be able to prove Roy’s innocence?
