After Evelyn persuades Roy to accompany her to a salsa class, she and Glenda realise they have their work cut out for them. But as the salsa lesson gets underway, Roy admits he doesn't feel well and clutches his chest before hurrying out of the room.

After the salsa incident, Roy attends an appointment with Dr Gaddas and describes how he has been suffering from chest pains and breathlessness. Dr Gaddas tells Roy she'll arrange for some tests to see what's going on.

But when Evelyn finds out about Roy's health worries, she insists on accompanying him to the hospital.

Previously, fans of Corrie have speculated that Roy and Evelyn's relationship could eventually turn romantic, thanks to their on-screen chemistry.

But recently actress Maureen Lipman, who plays Evelyn, shut down the speculation: "I don't think Evelyn has the hots for Roy, or him for her. It's lukewarm at best and I don't think she's going to get her vest off.

"But there are many forms of love – they're lonely people. She had the chance for romance with Arthur and sort of blew it. I think the stable door is shut and the horse has bolted. She does want to spend time with him [as] Roy understands about grieving. He gets where she's coming from – [it] doesn't take much to bring her round because she knows where her bread's best buttered."

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
