Coronation Street Introduces Roy Cropper Prison Pen-Pal Mystery

Viewers are already guessing the unseen correspondent, with Becky McDonald the leading theory.

Overview

  • Wednesday’s 19 November episode showed Roy enrolling with a scheme that pairs civilians with prisoners and posting new letters.
  • Nina noticed his tense wait for the post and he shielded the addressee’s name when she tried to look.
  • When pressed about who he was writing to, Roy refused to disclose any details.
  • Social media users suggested former character Becky McDonald as the possible correspondent, a theory repeated across tabloid and entertainment outlets.
  • The plot arrives after Roy’s spell in jail during the Lauren Bolton storyline last year, and Radio Times noted the new hobby could carry risk.
