Viewers have seen a sinister vision of Roy, reflecting Sam’s hallucinations. This has usually been while the real Roy hasn’t been around \u2013 until now.<\/p>\n

In next Friday’s hour-long episode (12 June)<\/a>, Sam flees from Will as he still believes that his schoolmate poses a threat. He heads straight for the caf\u00e9 and locks the door, much to the confusion of Roy.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, Sam realises that he can see two different versions of Roy \u2013 the sinister vision and the real, kind-hearted caf\u00e9 owner.<\/p>\n

He immediately questions how this could be possible, but the vision suggests that it’s Will playing more tricks. Fortunately, the real Roy tries to help, and an alarmed Sam begins to get some clarity. See the scene below, in a first-look clip:<\/p>\n

This episode marks a turning point for the storyline, as Sam’s loved ones realise how much he’s been struggling.<\/p>\n

Carla Connor-Swain is first<\/a> to raise the possibility of psychosis when she finds a terrified Sam hiding out at the Precinct. Reflecting on her own experiences, Carla spots the signs.<\/p>\n

Ben Price, who plays Sam’s dad Nick, recently explained: “Sam finally sees two Roys and he locks himself in the caf\u00e9. I think what happens for Nick is that the situation suddenly bridges the gap into becoming a bit dangerous.<\/p>\n

“Sam has never been dangerous before. Nick sees a side of Sam that he’s never seen before. He’s not letting Nick in, and then he locks himself up and gets aggressive to Roy.<\/p>\n

“Those moments, when Sam is showing something so different from how he has been, are the bits when Nick thinks: ‘Oh, he’s in real trouble’.”<\/p>\n

He added: “Carla has seen it and gone through it. There’s a moment where Nick knows Carla enough to go: ‘She’s seen something properly’. What’s so good about a character like Carla is that, because of what she’s been through, she’s very black and white.<\/p>\n

“Everyone wants that, so then when she does break that hard shell, it makes you sit up and take notice. That is what happens to Nick.”<\/p>\n

Coronation Street airs on weeknights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX<\/a>.<\/p>\n
