ROY Cropper is rushed to hospital with a heart attack before getting a shock visitor in Coronation Street.

The cafe owner has been under huge pressure in recent months after being falsely accused of murdering missing teen, Lauren Bolton.

Roy was held in prison while he awaited trial for the crime he didn’t commit, which was an ordeal in itself.

But then he had to face far-right extremist Griff Reynolds, who was transferred back to Weatherfield Prison.

He was also rushed to hospital after collapsing in his cell.

Thankfully his prison nightmare ended when Nathan Curtis was arrested over Lauren’s disappearance.

But even though his name has been cleared, Roy is still struggling to deal with what he has been through, and it all comes to a head in upcoming Coronation Street scenes.

He has been spending most of his time in the flat above the cafe, but he is convinced to head out when Shona tells him she’s ill.

But as he leaves the cafe to deliver her some homemade soup, he is confronted by a gang of yobs.

As they call him names, he stumbles to the floor.

Carla rushes to his aid but it is clear he is in pain.

Hearing the ambulance, Nina and Shona rush into the cafe to find Roy being given CPR.

But once in the hospital a visitor appears at Roy’s bedside.

Roy drifts in and out of consciousness whilst his visitor stays at his bedside before disappearing.

When Roy tells Nina about his surprise visitor, she wonders if he is hallucinating.

Who does he think he has seen?

But Roy collapses and an ambulance is called
