Coronation Street to destroy iconic Roy’s Rolls cafe

Reports suggest that Roy’s Rolls cafe, owned by character Roy Cropper, will be burned down in an arson attack in the coming weeks.

The blaze is expected to spread and destroy the cafe, all while Roy is inside the property.

Further claims suggest that Roy will be left fighting for his life, with the cafe owner being rushed to the hospital.

The scenes of the cafes burning down are expected to air in April.

According to The Sun, questions will arise over who would want to target Roy and burn the cafe down.

A source said, “Roy’s Rolls is targeted by a mystery fire starter 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.

“Will Roy be rescued in time, and what about his precious collection of railway memorabilia and memories of Hayley? Is this the end of Roy’s Rolls as we know it, and who wanted to burn down the iconic cafe?”

Coronation Street stars sign new contracts on cobbles

Tony Maudsley and Jodie Prenger, who play George and Glenda Shuttleworth, have signed new contracts to continue acting on the iconic ITV soap.

Both stars will remain for at least another year.

Maudsley, who joined the soap in 2020 as the local undertaker, confirmed that his time on the show had been extended in a post on social media.

It could be seen alongside a picture of the former Benidorm star with a glass of fizz.

He wrote in a caption on Sunday (1 March): “New contract? Cheers Corrie, don’t mind if I do.

“(I bit their hand off!) Can’t wait to see what’s around the corner for George (aside from more corpses).”
