During his visit to Richard, Roy eventually confessed that he was really his half-brother.

He explained their mother Sylvia had an affair with Richard’s father Raymond.

But when Roy read the love letters between his mother and Raymond, he found out Sylvia went away for a long period of time.

Roy realised his mother was pregnant and went away to give her baby up for adoption.

Although Richard was happy to meet Roy and finally find out about his birth family, his daughter Nina wasn’t as welcoming.

Could this be the start of a new friendship for Roy?

Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7.30pm and 8.30pm on ITV.
