Roy Cropper is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera,

Coronation Street, played by David Neilson. He first appeared

on-screen on 19 July 1995. Originally a secondary character, he was

given a more prominent role in 1997, by the executive producer of

Coronation Street, Brian Park. Roy has been featured in numerous

high-profile storylines, most notably marrying the first transgender

character in a British soap opera, Hayley Patterson (Julie

Hesmondhalgh).In 1995, Deirdre Barlow (Anne Kirkbride) moves into a

new flat and meets fellow tenant, Roy Cropper, who seems over-helpful.

Jamie Armstrong catches Roy reading a postcard Tracy Barlow (Dawn

Acton) sent to Deirdre and calls him pathetic, thinking that Roy is

stalking Deirdre. The tank bursts in 5 Crimea Street, making the

Armstrongs and Roy panic, but Deirdre is unnerved by the way Roy takes

advantage of the leak to try to get close to her. She is stunned when

he tells her that he's sorry about her bereavement and tells Mike

Baldwin (Johnny Briggs) of her discomfort. Roy pesters Deirdre late at

night, inviting her for a drink. Mike tells Roy to leave Deirdre alone

and he makes plans to move out. Tricia Armstrong (Tracy Brabin)

overhears Roy apologising to Mike for stepping in on his lady-friend.

Roy asks Tricia if she's the same as Deirdre; one of Mike's women and

she tells him to get lost. Roy worries that Deirdre is brooding too

much and fears that she may have a breakdown but he just annoys her as

she sees Roy's concern as him pestering her. Roy alerts Mike to the

fact that Deirdre is shutting herself away.Bill Webster (Peter

Armitage) and Jim McDonald (Charles Lawson) find a cast-iron fireplace

while renovating the flats and decide to sell it, but Jamie tells Roy

they are stealing it and tries to blackmail them for £5. Roy gets a

new job washing-up in a big hotel. To help Tricia out, he buys her TV

for £30. Martin Platt (Sean Wilson) takes Roy on to help out in the

cafe. Roy is interested to hear that Don Brennan (Geoffrey Hinsliff)

has a ghost and offers the benefit of his experience, lending Vera

Duckworth (Liz Dawn) books on ghosts and haunted houses. Vera and her

husband Jack (Bill Tarmey) are alarmed to find Roy camping in their

cellar at night searching for any signs of a ghost. He hasn't found

anything.
