Meet Roy Cropper's mum

Meet Sylvie Cropper, mother to resident oddball Roy Cropper. ITV.com have revealed that Sylvie will be played by 'Doc Martin' actress, Stephanie Cole. She arrives early next year to stay with Roy and Hayley, and soon makes her presence felt.

Coronation Street producer Phil Collinson said of the casting: "I am delighted to welcome Stephanie Cole to the cast. I have long been an admirer, from the brilliant dramatic performances she gave in Tenko, to the side splitting Diana in Waiting For God - she is one of this country's finest actors. Life at Roy's Rolls is never going to be the same again."

Stephanie is the latest in a line of new castings, including Andrew Lacel as Frank Foster and Chris Fountain as Tommy Duckworth.
