Coronation Street icon 'to return' 19 years after debut and it's good news for Roy Cropper


Coronation Street fans are convinced that a soap icon is set to return to the cobbles, after an appearance in a video tribute to Roy Cropper actor David Neilson

Roy is also recognised for his nurturing nature, having taken several troubled youngsters under his wing over the years, including niece Nina Lucas (Mollie Gallagher) and former resident Becky McDonald (Katherine Kelly). The lovely Katherine Kelly left Coronation Street viewers feeling all warm and fuzzy with her heartwarming tribute to co-star David, saying: "You're one of the finest actors I've ever had the privilege of working with, and more importantly you are also one of the best human beings I know." But in 2012, after six dramatic years, Katherine Kelly waved goodbye to the street, leaving viewers devastated as Becky jetted off to start anew in Barbados with her final bow ending a tumultuous love story with Steve.
