Unlike Frank Butcher, his predecessor in the used car trade (and in Pat's bed), Roy Evans had a reputation for being an honest, decent man. Until he got a taste for scams and dodgy deals, that is...
Honest, it's only had one careful owner.Roy Evans
His relationship with Pat floundered due to his impotence, but the pair decided that companionship was more important than a few moments of heaven beneath Pat's eiderdown. However, whenever Frank came sailing into town, the cracks caused by this lack of physical intimacy invariably showed.
Indeed, Pat embarked on a full-blown affair with Frank 鈥� and who can blame her after seeing that episode where he infamously arrived at her door wearing nothing but a dickie bow and a smile? They planned to run away together, but Pat had a change of heart and she and Roy managed to patch up their relationship on a more equal footing.
When not keeping watch on his wife's roving eye, Roy kept busy keeping hapless son Barry out of trouble. All hell broke loose, when Roy's lovechild Nathan arrived in Walford, upsetting his other slightly smaller, slightly balder half-brother.
Barry never forgave Pat for cheating on his dad, and when she helped Frank's son Ricky cover up his affair with Natalie, it was the last straw for both Evans men. Roy died of a heart attack and Barry threw Pat onto the street with nothing.
