Roy Cropper (David Neilson) gets a helping hand from an unlikely person in Coronation Street soon as he plans a Christmas present for best friend Evelyn Plummer (Maureen Lipman).
Roy and Evelyn have grown close this year. A few months ago, Roy wrote a letter to Evelyn before his heart operation detailing how much she means to him.
Evelyn was incredibly moved but as she made her way over to the hospital with the intention of telling Roy how she feels, she was interrupted by Yasmeen (Shelley King).
When Roy returned home, he spent a lot of time with Yasmeen as they bonded over shared interests.
