ROY Cropper looks set to make a major breakthrough in identifying Lauren Bolton’s mystery boyfriend.
The kindly cafe owner has been thrown behind bars on the ITV soap for allegedly murdering Lauren Bolton.
While the police have no body or evidence that a murder has taken place, they have continued with prosecuting him nonetheless.
Roy was a friend of Lauren and when his DNA was found on a condom wrapper at her flat after he picked it up during a cleaning session, the police become adamant that something more disturbing had gone on.
Now jailed, Roy has been having horror flashbacks and hallucinations of Lauren that have left him deeply troubled.
In upcoming scenes, Coronation Street fans will see Roy continue to envisage Lauren as it becomes clear that his mind is attempting to remember a certain conversation he overheard the 18-year-old having with Max.
Having struggled with prison life, officers will be left aghast to discover Roy has passed out in his cell and they rush him to hospital.
Mary visits him in the hospital where he appears drained and strained.
Roy tells her that he needs to remember more about the chat between Lauren and Max and why it feels so significant.
Mary encourages him to think long and hard as any detail could be vital in finding the real killer and getting him out of prison.
Back in his cell, Roy continues to think about this interaction and it eventually dawns on him what he is trying to remember.
He recalls hearing Lauren speaking about a new necklace from a mystery boyfriend.
Roy then phoned Dee Dee from jail and asks if she is able to track down the type of necklace and see if they can find the person who bought it for her and uncover once and for all just who her mystery man is!
Will this be the breakthrough they most desperately need?
And just who is Lauren’s mystery man?
