Coronation Street fans were incensed as Roy Cropper was jailed after being charged with the murder of missing teen Lauren Bolton during Friday's episode of the ITV soap. Café owner Roy, played by David Neilson, 75, has spent weeks as Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain's (Vicky Myers) prime suspect since he foolishly deep cleaned Lauren's (Cait Fitton) flat after she mysteriously disappeared. The situation got more complicated for Roy when a woman pretending to be Lauren's mother visited the cafe and ended up in a tussle with him, before falling and hitting her head.
