Coronation Street legend's secret health battle revealed | The Sun
LIFE in Weatherfield is often full of surprises for residents and one stalwart is reminded of it all the hard way.
One Coronation Street legend becomes a cause for concern but is there really something to fear?
Roy Cropper (portrayed by David Neilson) first rocked up the cobbles in July 1995 and ITV viewers struggle to imagine what life in Corrie without him would look like.
In scenes airing next week, the café owner is convinced by Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman) to accompany her to her salsa class with Glenda Shuttleworth.
The latter, played by Jodie Prenger, realises she's got her work cut out for her when it's clear Evelyn and Roy aren't the most natural dancers.
With their salsa lesson underway, Roy suddenly clutches his chest, admitting he doesn't feel well and he hurries out.

Evelyn is later upset and calls in the café to scold him for abandoning her mid-salsa lesson.
Roy insists that he felt unwell but refuses to elaborate, leaving Evelyn to walk out in a huff.
In later scenes, Roy attends an appointment with Dr Gaddas (Christine Mackie) and describes how he's been suffering from chest pains.
To make matters worse, he lets her know he has also been feeling breathless, prompting her to arrange for some tests.
