Cathy's nephew arrives on Coronation Street next week

Cathy's nephew Alex arrives next week. He'll be played by an actor with Down's syndrome.

Corrie producer Stuart Blackburn said that actor Liam Bairstow was cast from a recent workshop they held for actors with disabilities.

Previews for next week say that Roy will be charmed by Alex and invites him to stay the night on his sofa when he turns up unexpectedly. 

But Roy and Cathy are embarrassed when Alex assumes they are an item. Will Cathy admit that she’d like to be more than just a friend to Roy? Anna encourages Cathy to open up to Roy about her feelings.  What will Roy say?
