Why David Neilson believes in Roy and Hayley

Roy Cropper is undeniably a Coronation Street gem. And in an interview, David Neilson, who plays Roy, says that he always turns down offers to make public appearances in character, because he doesn't want to make a mockery of Roy.

He said: "I get invited to perform as Roy but I can't do it without the scripts, and I am really careful with him. He is not a mainstream character that can interact with people. He wouldn't be in that position and it would make a mockery of him and the creation is important to me. I believe in Roy and Hayley and that they run a little cafe somewhere."

The article revals that David is a lot older than I thought he was - he's 60 but looking good on it, don't you think?

And speaking of Roy and Hayley... why won't Corrie marry them legally now that they can? Read more on that here.
