Roy is rushed to hospital - but is he ok, and what does this all mean for his health?
He clutches his chest in painFans have been concerned about actor David Neilson's exit from the soap for months after he briefly departed Weatherfield a few months back, much to his niece Nina's heartbreak as she begged him not to go.
In the emotional scenes, Roy bid goodbye - as David hinted it could be the end for his character, saying at the time: " I'm 72, obviously. When Corrie aired Norris' funeral, we had a scene with the hearse pulling up – and because of Malcolm Hebden, I thought: 'I'm really sorry that I won't get to work with him again.' But there are two exits in this for me: one for the character and one for David.
"Hopefully they won't coincide – maybe they will. I know Roy leaving will get a reaction. It's a big part of your life and a big part of that popular culture. He will be remembered for a long while."
