Roy triggers major new direction for Evelyn ahead of Coronation Street exit A new year can often mean a fresh start, and for Coronation Street’s Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman) 2025 is set to be completely life-changing.
And it’s Roy who gives Evelyn the gentle push she needs to take the next step in her life when he suggests that she should consider doing a law degree.
Evelyn certainly has a formidable intelligence and during the campaign to free Roy from prison and other run-ins with the law she must have already gained quite a bit of knowledge.
While she’s been kept busy in the middle of the often trouble-beset Dobbs household, her friendship with Roy Cropper has been a highlight of her time in the Street, as the two formed a touching bond.
Actress Maureen recently revealed that she’d be bowing out of the part she’s played since 2018 to take a ‘gap year’ with her partner David Turner, who she proposed to on a train.
