Evelyn faces tragedy in Coronation Street spoilers
Later that day Cerberus can’t face his food, leaving Evelyn worried there’s something wrong.
And when the poorly pooch doesn’t rally, Tyrone insists that he and Evelyn take him to the vet for an examination.
They are shocked to learn that food poisoning could be the explanation for his illness. And Evelyn’s sadness soon turns to anger when a sheepish Roy admits he could be to blame.
He admits that he dropped an Eccles cake on the cafe floor, and fears that it seemed like a treat Cerberus couldn’t resist. Only the dried fruit confection could play havoc with a canine constitution.
Evelyn wants answers
That’s when an equally furious and worried Evelyn lets rip. She tells Roy that if anything happens to Cerberus, she’ll never forgive him.
And it looks like the kindly cafe owner is set to face her wrath, when the vet breaks the news that Cerberus has kidney failure.
Evelyn’s totally devastated as she’s forced to say goodbye to the one friend able to put up with her. And not surprisingly, Roy feels terrible about his part in the sad story.
So as Evelyn goes on the warpath branding Roy’s Rolls a death trap, its owner tells Nina that he’s going to get rid of his phone.
If he hadn’t been distracted by it, the fatal cake wouldn’t have landed on the floor.
But will Evelyn ever be able to forgive Roy? Or is her list of friends and allies set to get even shorter?
