I was watching an old you tube video of Bethany's christening and Roy and Hayley were her god parents but Sarah or Bethany have had no interaction with Roy or even mentioned Hayley's death. I really hope they have a scene together.

I don't think there's any need to see Roy and Bethany speak to each other. I'd rather have more scenes with Roy and Ken together; why has that not been done more?

They should make that link, I love the Emily / Tracy link, which has lasted almost 40 years

You've just reminded me of one of the best ever Corrie scenes when Roy stumbles out of the Barlow house after sleeping with Tracy

Who wants to see more of Bride of Chucky Bethany? Her and her porky gormless traitor mother should get on the next plane back to Milan.

I like the idea. Soap "odd couples" are always great. Soap friendships work best when the two are polar opposites. A Roy-Bethany friendship could work.

A strong piece of continuity that's so rare in Coronation Street these days. Emily is still one of the few (if not the only) people who Tracy actually listens to.

Well I don't want the obnoxious smart arse brat being with Roy or interacting with him, as she wouldn't be able to resist making stupid comments every 10 seconds in her silly voice.

Can't remember but why did Bethany have Roy and Hayley as godparents? I don't remember Sarah having any particular connection with them (unlike Fiz for example).

Roy's something of a deviant these days, I'm not sure I'd trust him around a young girl like Bethany.

I think sarah was close to hayley as her mum worked at the cafe at the time. Roy had to step in as godfather at the last minute as David ran off and then got caught shoplifting on the day of the christening

Ah, right, I guess that would make sense, ta. That would have been the old cafe I suppose.

Did Gail ever work for Roy & Hayley? I'd forgotten about that! I know Gail & Alma ran the cafe & Roy bought into it, was that when Alma became ill?
I also remember Sarah herself working for Roy & Hayley, think she might have taken over from either Leanne or Toyah!! Also remember Vera working there, and Frankie Baldwin, but not Gail! When Sarah worked there Bethany woild be a toddler, remember Sarah having to rush home when Beth electrocuted herself!! Some dramas that kid's been through in her 15 years & sounds like more to come!!

IIRC it was mentioned when Bethany and Sarah came back that Hayley was her Godmother and she'd sent her about a tenner every birthday which of course Bethany was turning her nose up at implying (or even saying) that it wasn't much and she could barely remember Hayley anyway. Such a nice person isn't she? *roll eyes*

As for Roy it wasn't mentioned (again IIRC) that he was her Godfather, perhaps he was just the proxy, a stand in for David who didn't go and David is still her actual Godfather. Happened with my mother when she was my cousin's Godmother, she forgot to put her clocks forward and got to the church an hour late when some other little baba was being baptised As far as I know she's still the Godmother though even though someone else stood in for her that day. I think she is anyway, I'll have to ask her.

I love Bethany - but what 15 year old like her would hang out with Roy (who she barely knows - Godfather or not)

No, Roy was definitely godfather. Sarah never really wanted David but Gail encouraged her to involve him, then when he didn't turn up she was more than happy to accept Roy as a replacement, saying he'd be better anyway. Roy mentioned that he was Bethany's godfather later on in the 2000s, at another christening I think, possibly Joshua's.

Perhaps they mentioned Roy being her Godfather too but I missed that bit. I just remember the Hayley bit because of Bethany's sniffy attitude to the money Hayley sent and not really giving a sh!t that she died because 'she never really knew her'. That's the part that stuck with me.

But knowing Bethany once it sinks in that he's her Godfather she'll find a way to exploit it eventually!

Well said, Maria, two of the worst mis-casting for a long time. I hope they will be gone soon.

Unless the writers give Roy and everyone on the Street a complete personality transplant - and they're not averse to that, as we know - it would be a completely ridiculous thing for Roy to behave in any way inappropriately with a young girl and for anyone to credit that he would.

That said, I think it would be very interesting indeed if they put Sarah into a grooming storyline with a much older man. Because as we know in real life, when the young girl looks and acts like Bethany does, there will always be people who think she was asking for it. Always.

That's been done, hasn't it? With the Internet thing years ago.
