'Coronation Street' star David Neilson has said that he thinks that his character Roy Cropper has changed a lot over the past few years.
The actor told ATV News Network: "I was recently watching some footage they'd put up on the 'Coronation Street' website of Roy when he was first in the show and [I realised] he's very different to the way he is now."
"He was very up in the air and 'pleased to meet you' and very smiley in the beginning. And his Northern accent was a lot stronger."
"So he has changed, but not consciously. I've not consciously thought about him changing but you take on experiences, like his marriage and all the problems that came with that."
"The thing with Roy is that he's always got a dark cloud over his head, just about to dump on him."
"So each time Roy gathers more experience he gets a bit more worldly wise and ground down. It keeps it interesting as an actor."
