Roy Cropper (David Neilson) gets a helping hand from an unlikely person in Coronation Street soon as he plans a Christmas present for best friend Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman).
Roy and Evelyn have grown close this year. A few months ago, Roy wrote a letter to Evelyn before his heart operation detailing how much she means to him.
Evelyn was incredibly moved, but as she made her way over to the hospital with the intention of telling Roy how she felt, she was interrupted by Yasmeen Metcalfe (Shelley King).
When Roy returned home, he spent a lot of time with Yasmeen as they bonded over shared interests.
While Roy enjoyed himself, he didn’t notice Evelyn growing increasingly jealous.
Not that we’d ever tell her that.
Coming up, there’s a disaster in the cafe just days away from Christmas as Roy suffers a spasm in his back.
Debbie Webster (Sue Devaney) helps him upstairs while Evelyn pops on a pinny and assures Roy she’ll cover his shift.
Noticing their friendship, Cassie Plummer (Claire Sweeney) later finds Roy and comes up with a gift idea from him to Evelyn.
