The rumours that Weatherfield legend Becky McDonald is about to make a dramatic reappearance to save Roy Cropper from his present situation are rife among Coronation Street viewers.

The fiery Becky was played by Katherine Kelly, who originally came to light in 2006 as a disturbed young person before being adopted by Hayley Cropper (Julie Hesmondhalgh) and Roy (David Neilson).

Becky was involved in a number of dramatic tales throughout her time at the Rovers Return, from turbulent relationships to fierce rivalries, so her time on the street was anything from boring.

Though her exit in 2012 after a six-year tenure left fans devastated, there are now whispers circulating that she may be making a spectacular comeback amid the upheaval surrounding Roy Cropper’s persona.

According to the Daily Star, Roy was arrested and accused with the murder of Lauren Bolton (Cait Fitton), a young girl who disappeared earlier this year and was last seen by Roy himself. This put Roy in deep water.

Roy was imprisoned when Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain swiftly identified him as the main suspect. Fans have conjectured that Becky would intervene to save Roy from his precarious circumstances as a result of this.

Becky’s name has surfaced often in a Coronation Street Reddit post devoted to talking about characters who fans want to see more of. A devoted admirer said, “Becky 100%.”

One more person said, “Becky, she could come and help ar Roy.”

“Becky for Roy’s sake!” commented a third admirer, echoing the sentiment.

The Daily Star has asked the AI tool Gemini for predictions on Becky’s possible comeback to the adored serial opera. Noting, “Becky was a popular character known for her feisty personality and loyalty,” the AI projected a good response from fans. Her comeback and the possibility of bringing back some old dynamics on the cobbles may delight fans.”

A narrative hook was also proposed by Gemini, who said, “Unfinished Business: Depending on how her exit story was handled, there could be room for Becky to have unfinished business in Weatherfield, giving her reason to return and help Roy.”

Additionally, Becky’s potential involvement in current storylines was noted by Gemini, who said, “As a friend of the Croppers, Becky could be a compelling advocate for Roy’s innocence, bringing a fresh perspective to the case.”
