Who is Roy Copper?

 Roy Cropper is a fictional character played by David Neilson in the British ITV serial opera Coronation Street. On July 19, 1995, he made his first appearance on screen. Originally a supporting character, he was given a larger part in 1997 by Brian Park, the executive producer of Coronation Street. Roys has been in a number of high-profile storylines, including marrying Hayley Patterson, the first transgender character in a British soap opera (Julie Hesmondhalgh). Roy left Weatherfield, apparently for good, on November 24, 2021, after signing his whole estate over to his niece.

Roy was originally planned to be a psychopathic, nasty character who would only appear for six episodes. Neilson called the figure “frightening” and “a little like Norman Bates in [the horror film] Psycho.”

However, instead of being scary, Neilson felt driven to reimagine Roy as a sympathetic, socially inept figure. His persistent pestering of Deirdre Rachid, as well as his odd behavior, could be explained by Asperger syndrome, a condition that Neilson has since attempted to convey in the role. As a result, the character’s screen time was extended, and he became a fan favorite. He was nearly evicted from his flats for his treatment of Deirdre, despite the fact that he was solely concerned about her well-being. Mike Baldwin, who played him, described him as “a bit of a lunatic, but harmless enough.”
