I like the friends and family Roy has supporting him, Evelyn, Carla and Nina. The storyline only works when you care for a character like Roy. Kudos to Corrie for this storyline. Is Lauren going to rock up at some point? Of course she is. If she had officially left CS we would have read about it by now.

A good episode to start the week, loved the scenes with Carla, Nina and Evelyn reading Roy's letter. David Neilson as Roy can show emotion without any words, he makes your heart break.

At last justice prevails and a murderous bad bastard is incarcerated... And not before time may I add, I've not forgotten what he and Carla did to poor poor Harold... It's Strangeways Here We Come for Mister Big, the Weatherfield crimelord Royston Bacon Barm Cropper... I for one and no doubt everyone else in the Greater Manchester area, will sleep soundly tonight...

Is Lauren going to rock up at some point? Exactly. Evelyn, Carla and Nina. Where the hell is Fiz!!!!! Fiz is going way down in my estimation of her as she seemingly couldn't care less about poor Roy. She has barely been seen since she returned and has not once voiced her opinion on the situation. Why wasn't Mary in court to support Roy. Even if not to support you'd think it'd be her go to place to spend a few hours.

Royston makes Alma Baldwin's cousin Richard Hillman look timid.

I think the absence of Fiz and Mary is probably a consequence of the cutbacks and not having too many characters on screen at one time to save money. It looks to me that Fiz is having a gradual, more gentle return but her complete absence from Roy's storyline when he was her foster-father is jarring I have to say. I have no problems with the performances in this storyline, Roy as per is excellent as are his female supporters, it's just how weak it all is. Flimsy circumstantial evidence which would at the most make Roy a person of interest in Corrie World has ended up with him actually being charged with murder?! When there's no proof a murder has even happened! She's a missing person. FGS Roy's an old man now, how did he move her body which would literally be a dead weight? Is he supposed to have transported to wherever in his car? Have they checked his car for DNA, got the cadaver dog in? Anything other than what they've got? It looks like the worst 70s 'anyone will do' lazy policing and like Bobby says, they'll stop investigating now they think they've got their man. Have they even tried to find out who the mysterious boyfriend was? Have they been in touch with the far-right group who she might have pissed off by talking about them again with Bethany? Anyone who was interacting with her on their version of Only Fans? Nah, Roy'll do Oh and DeeDee was crap IMO. Didn't do anything to refute the mud that the prosecution was flinging, in both those cases there was mitigating circumstances with his victim Gary even testifying FOR Roy in court. Or castigate him for trying to use Hayley's trans status as a negative in a 'look how odd he is, he's even married a man/woman!' This should have been addressed.

Royston Bacon Barm Cropper will be running K Wing within a few days...
K Wing for the uninitiated is the Nonce wing at Strangeways... Not that I've ever been on it or even in the Big Hoose I hastened to add... I just know because of the riots a few (over 30 good grief) years ago... That's where the rioters were trying to get to, to hold Kangaroo Courts...
He'll be strutting around barking out orders and having some fat baldy child molester as his bitch... Harvey and Damo will be on his books as his Henchmen... And big Jimbo McD will be his official supplier of booze, so he will... There will also be the odd visit from Rob Donovan to give him some tips on bedding the female screws, the ones who are Tranny's anayway...
Oh yes, I can see it now... Roy is going to have the time of his life...

The writers are taking us all as fools.

What was Roy supposed to have done with the body? So many unanswered questions. Did the police search his car ? Question him about that? It’s all so bloody ridiculous.

Rita could have covered for him.

Adumb Barlow as a lawyer, no no. Much prefer Dee Dee.

Alya needs to lay off these fancy dinners Adam has accused her of having.
Can’t blame her for jumping ship and more fool Adam for not writing a confidentiality clause in her contract.
(Yes I know the actress is having a baby but the camera angles make it look like Alya is eating for England!)

Alya is doing her Stan Ogden impression then, eating all the time.

What actually is Alya’s job? Secretary, paralegal, office person ? She struts around as though she’s in charge of the place and just why did Adam make that grovelling apology?
