Coronation Street legend Roy Cropper has been a mainstay on the cobbles for nearly 30 years, but the man who plays him, David Neilson, has a life away from the soap too
Coronation Street 's Roy Cropper, played by David Neilson, has been a beloved character on the ITV soap for nearly three decades.
Recently, Roy was falsely imprisoned for the 'murder' of Lauren Bolton, a colleague from his cafe, Roy's Rolls. It was later revealed that the real culprit was villain Joel, who is also the father of Lauren's baby. Jane has played a crucial role in the development of David's character, Roy. In a 2009 interview with The Mirror, David disclosed that he subtly incorporated aspects of autism into Roy's character, attributing this to Jane's insights from her work as a Special Education Needs and Disability teacher.
"It's never mentioned in the story though, and it shouldn't be. Roy is a human being and a label doesn't help him. But I think he's got it. It gives him reasons for his behaviour and gives me something to play. I enjoy idiosyncrasies in people and Roy is full of them."
