VIEWERS are holding their breath after the latest Coronation Street cliffhanger ...
To see if Roy Cropper survives a murderous attack by evil Tony Gordon.
Mild-mannered Roy ended up splashing for his life in the Manchester ship canal.
Coronation Street viewers saw the factory boss confront Roy from the shadows while the hapless cafe owner was out bat-watching. With a large knife hidden behind his back and an evil glint in his eye, Tony, played by Scot Gray OâBrien, had Roy, alias David Neilson, just where he wanted him.
But in the struggle that followed, Roy proved he was no pushover.
Viewers will have to wait to find out if Coronation Streetâs popular cafe owner survives his ordeal.

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that she would love to be "a big part" of the soap's 50th anniversary episodes.
The 33-year-old actress, who plays barmaid Michelle Connor on the ITV1 show, confirmed that she is eager to celebrate the programme's milestone in late 2010.
Speaking to the Chester Chronicle, Marsh explained: "I'm contracted until at least next June. By then I will have done four years, and of course we've got the 50th anniversary coming up next year.
"Hopefully I'll be a big part of that. Fingers crossed, I'd really like to be. I'd love to still be there for that."
On the Weatherfield's drama's future, she added: "We'll keep making people laugh. I think that's the beauty of Corrie, isn't it?"
Earlier this month, former Street star Kevin Kennedy (Curly Watts) claimed that producers want to bring back a number of old faces for the anniversary. However, show bosses have insisted that it is "too early" to confirm any plans for the occasion.

LOVE Island romeo Paul Danan is set to appear in Celebrity Big Brother.
The former Hollyoaks hunk became a telly smash when he appeared on the 2007 reality series Celebrity Love Island.
Danan, 31, stole the show with his relentless pursuit of bikini babes Bianca Gascoigne, 22, Colleen Shannon, 31, and sexy Sophie Anderton, 32. He finally scored in the loos with sexy model Nikki Ziering, 38, and had a fl ing with Lady Isabella Hervey, 27.
His drunken antics and bust-ups proved a nightmare for the other celebrities and producers.
But now he is poised for a big telly comeback.
Celebrity Big Brother bosses are pursuing Danan for their last-ever Channel 4 show in January.
Last night, when we approached the actor, he teased: âI have a number of offers on the table for next year.â
Danan fans who cannot wait until January to see him need not panic.
Next month he will be on the box without his undies. He is appearing in a celebrity version of Pants Off Dance Off on the new MTV channel Viva.
And he joked: âYouâll be seeing a lot of me.
All Corrie villains get their comeuppance and Tony Gordon's no exception. Inside Soap magazine reveals Tony gets his day in court before he's put behind bars. I wonder if he'll pop in and see Tracy Barlow for a cuppa in her cell? Now there's an evil pairing, if ever there was one.
Carla Gordon returns as Tony's banged up and she takes over Underworld, putting Hayley in charge. Go on, our Hayles! See, it all works out in the end. I do hope Carla changes her name back to Carla Connor, it's just so much her.
And as for Roy Cropper? Once he dries out from the Corrie canal, he'll be back behind the cafe counter and all will be well with the world.
The official ITV Corrie site has a video interview with Alison King who talks about Carla's return, watch it here. And The Life of Wylie blog has the inside story on filming at the Corrie canal with an excellent interview with Corrie producer Kim Crowther.

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has been improving his English skills thanks to Coronation Street.
The Argentinean footballer, who moved to the UK three years ago, reportedly started watching the Northern soap following encouragement from his team-mates.
It is thought that City's Brazilian player Robinho also picked up English by watching the Manchester-based drama. Additionally, defender Pablo Zabaleta, who is also from Argentina, apparently wants Tevez to eventually stop needing a translator for team talks.
Speaking to Football Punk magazine about Coronation Street, Tevez confirmed: "I like it. I don't understand some things because of the language, but it seems very good."
Meanwhile, a source told The Sun: "Carlos finds it difficult learning English. But he's coming on in leaps and bounds now he's watching Corrie, although he doesn't quite get the dialect yet.
"By the end of the season we're hoping he'll be able to do away with the translator."

Pretty teen Rosie Webster already turns heads.
But the youngster will reportedly go a step further to boost her wow factor when she decides to get a boob job.
With her windfall nicked by ex-factory boss Luke Strong, Rosie, played by Helen Flanagan, will set her sights on becoming a promotions girl and glamour model.
According to The Sun, she hopes the surgery will enhance her career prospects, but her plan will be rumbled by sister Sophie (Brooke Vincent), who finds a letter from a clinic.
The news will reportedly devastate Rosie's mum Sally (Sally Whittaker), who is due to tell her family she needs a lumpectomy to remove a malignant tumour on Christmas Day.
It remains to be seen whether the feisty teenager will go ahead with her operation, and a soap spokeswoman wouldn't comment on reports.
An insider told The Sun: "The bosses are well aware of the controversy this storyline will cause.
"But they've researched all the implications and also looked at how it may affect teenage girl viewers and are determined to go ahead and show it - warts and all."

This is the moment Coronation Street killer Tony Gordon finds himself banged up in a police cell after sensationally confessing to murder.
Locked up: Tony Gordon in a police cell
Thursday's episode sees twisted Tony, played by Gray O'Brien, walk from the banks of the canal to the nearest police station, where he reveals he murdered Liam Connor (Rob James-Collier) and pushed Roy Cropper (David Neilson) into the canal.
Tony is quizzed by police, but things take a turn for the worse when his fiancee Maria Connor (Samia Smith) heads to the police station to confront him, armed with the knowledge he killed her husband.
The edge-of-your-seat plot is proving to be a big draw for viewers, with 11.2 million tuning in to see Tony try to drown Roy on Monday night.
But it remains to be seen if the cafe owner will survive or Tony will have to take the rap for two murders.
The scenes air on Thursday, November 19, on ITV1.

Coronation Street star Kym Marsh has revealed that she was "left in agony" after filming nude scenes for the soap.
The 33-year-old, who plays Michelle Connor in the Manchester soap, said that she was injured by a stick-on bra which tore off her skin.
Marsh wore the flesh-coloured bra during filming of the sexy scene with actor Kenny Doughty who played builder Jake.
Kym told the Daily Star: "That lethal stick-on bra almost took my nipples off!"
Marsh confessed that she did not feel sexy while filming the scenes as she was wearing "nude granny pants".
She recently said that she was hopeful that Corrie bosses would develop a bigger role for Kenny's character in the future.
Kym told the Chester Chronicle: "Obviously, sometimes you have to wait and see how people work on a show, but I think everyone's taken really well to the storyline, and certainly to Jake, and we had such a good laugh doing all that stuff."
She then joked: "Michelle needs to have a fella. I think she needs to settle down a little bit because at the moment she's flitting from one to the other, and it's quite frankly disgusting."
