CORONATION Street newcomer Vicky Myers expects to be public enemy Number One when her character arrests cobbles favourite Roy Cropper on suspicion of murder.

The actress, who plays no-nonsense DS Lisa Swain, admits she fears a backlash from fans of popular cafe owner Roy as he is held over the disappearance of teenager Lauren Bolton.

Talking of first reading the ITV soap's storyline twist, Vicky said: "It was terrible! I thought 'Oh, no, this is just going to be awful. I think there might be a fair bit of backlash.

"But I can handle it and Swain can handle it. She doesn't know Roy. It's irrelevant to her that he's this muchloved character in the street."
