David Neilson has played the legendary character since 1995
David Neilson has played the character since 1995 and he continues to play an important role in the long-running soap. Roy has been at the centre of this week's major storyline as he has been questioned by the police under suspicion of being involved in the disappearance of Lauren Bolton.
"Here you don’t know what is going to happen to your character. I don’t know the whole story, I like to see how things pan out when I get the scripts. What I do like about it is the way it has gone back 29 years to 1995 when Roy first arrived. He previously told Mirror Online: "I need to get away from Roy and be myself and they don’t know Roy in Barcelona. If I’m in Spain for a few days I forget what I do for a living, which is the important thing. It means when I come back and someone shouts ‘Roy’, for a moment I forget they’re actually talking to me. And it’s only a couple of hours on the plane so I can commute to Manchester easily enough.
