CS - 20 years ago David Neilson (Roy Cropper) first appeared
20 years ago to this day David Neilson debuted in the role of Roy Cropper.
Here is his first scene (which was referenced to early this week). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsq9cIE9vjM Hope we have many more years of Roy. |

David Neilson Is SO different from Roy but I suppose after all that time he's become his alter ego.

It was only after a couple of years that they started to soften his character and make him seem eccentric rather than a weirdo. |

You are wrong. Fiz was introduced as Roy and Hayley's foster child. Tyrone and Kirk were also well after Roy

Does anyone remember Roy (and presumably Hayley) fostering a young lad with ginger hair?

That's exactly how he was intended to be viewed. In fact, the original plan was to have him as a Norman Bates type character, a creepy weirdo with an unhealthy obsession with Deirdre.
It was only after a couple of years that they started to soften his character and make him seem eccentric rather than a weirdo. Was Deirdre in those flat pre or post Samir? Was def before Jon Lindsay ... |

Wow, they both look so young. Anne looked lovely in that scene.
I don't think Roy came across as creepy at all tbh, just a bit awkward. I can't remember anything about his entrance or what he was like generally at the time but I didn't get "creepy" off him there. |
