FAQs
Legendary Coronation Street stars Roy Cropper (David Neilson) and Carla Connor (Alison King) have exited the ITV soap opera to pursue 'new adventures'.
Although Corrie is filmed in Manchester, David lives in Barcelona in order to escape the fanfare from the show. He previously told Mirror Online: I need to get away from Roy and be myself and they don't know Roy in Barcelona.
David Neilson is one of Coronation Street's longest-running and most-loved stars. The actor joined the cobbles as Roy Cropper almost three decades ago and has since featured in some of the show's most dramatic storylines. Recently, the 75-year-old has been struggling to adjust to life after his prison ordeal.
Coronation Street star, David Neilson, couldn't be more different from Roy Cropper in real life. The actor, 75, has played the eccentric yet compassionate café owner, who has weathered a number of storms in Weatherfield, for almost 30 years.
Although it has never been officially confirmed on-screen, it has indeed been suggested by critics that Roy has Asperger syndrome, due to his obsessive compulsive tendencies and because of his misunderstanding and literal interpretations of nuances and subtleties.
