Legendary Coronation Street stars Roy Cropper (David Neilson) and Carla Connor (Alison King) have exited the ITV soap opera to pursue 'new adventures'.
Recently, on the Manchester-based show, Roy was arrested for the murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton).
When Lauren went missing, Roy was the last person to see her alive after he cleaned up her flat.
However, Lauren was soon found, letting Roy off the hook for the alleged murder.

After suffering months of abuse over the missing persons case, Roy decided that it was time to wave goodbye to Weatherfield for a bit.
While saying goodbye to pal Carla, she decided that she wanted to go with him while he visited his ex Cathy in Scarborough.
After announcing that she would be leaving for a bit, some of her shady employees saw an opportunity.
In recent Coronation Street scenes, Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) uncovered a scam that Beth Tinker (Lisa George) was taking part in.

Betsy caught Beth sewing designer labels onto cheap t-shirts and warned her that if she didn't let her in on the business, she would tell Carla everything. Beth agreed to the demands and the pair became partners.
Carla's exit provided the perfect opportunity for them to grow this illegal business.
As soon as she was gone, the pair agreed to ramp up production in order to earn more money.
Coronation Street continues every week on ITV1 and ITVX.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
