Coronation Street’s Roy Cropper used by racist Griff in Max Turner’s video nasty
RACIST thug Griff Reynolds is recruiting new members for his extremist group and causing serious harm in the cobbles.
The “activist” targeted Coronation Street stalwart Roy Cropper, using Max Turner’s video editing skills.
Roy, Gary Windass, Brian Packham and Maria Connor recently showed up to the community centre for a meeting about the environment.
However, the dodgy activist played by Michael Condron took this as an opportunity to spread his racist agenda, much to residents’ dismay.
Unfortunately for him, the Roy’s Rolls café owner challenged him in front of everyone, eagerly dismantling every single one of his statements.
The fan favourite character had been taking notes while Griff spoke and pointed out many of his speech’s inaccuracies.

Roy (played by David Neilson) received a round of applause, leaving Griff feeling humiliated… and fans seriously dreading what could happen next.
But he soon turned things to his advantage with a little help from one of his newest recruits Max Turner (Paddy Bever).
A budding expert at video editing, Max was told to edit the film he had made of the meeting at the community centre.
And after some editing, the video showed Roy seemingly agreeing with Griff’s arguments and the latter being praised by an applauding crowd.

Griff took the troubled lad under his wing after spotting him feeling isolated.
To convince Max to join him, Griff even took care of his bullies – but this was the beginning of a harrowing grooming storyline for the teen.
Max was recently called out, most notably by Alya Nazir, for bonding with Griff and his gang.
But this is also raising concerns as undercover copper Spider Nugent noticed Max’s involvement with Griff is getting deeper.
The youngster’s father David Platt is just as worried about him.

The activist has been blamed for refugee Daryan’s brutal assault, recently shown on ITV.
During last night’s trip to the cobbles, Daryan read out a statement he had written to support his application to stay in the UK, with Maria and Gary listening attentively.
Daryan outlined his dangerous journey in a crowded boat, revealing how he had been separated from his brother.
He then insisted that he only wanted to be safe and be able to work in an attempt to find his uncle in the UK.
