David Neilson and Marc Anwar, who play the characters, were spotted filming an argument while working on location in Manchester this week.
Future
episodes will see the pair forced to share an allotment, but it's far
from a happy partnership when they can't agree on how to use the patch.

Roy and Sharif end up splitting the plot in two, but it looks as though their comedic bickering could still last for a while.
Despite
the early tensions, Roy's hobby will ultimately mark a turning point
for him as he starts to move on from his difficult year.
In a recent interview with
Inside Soap,
Coronation Street's producer Stuart Blackburn confirmed that Roy will meet a troubled new character while working on the allotment, giving him something new to focus on after a year of grief for his wife Hayley.

Blackburn commented: "Roy meets a widowed lady over on the next
allotment. She's not going to be a love interest, but someone who Roy
will feel obliged to help guide through the world. We know how
nervous Roy is around people he doesn't know, so the fact that he's able
to come out of his shell and offer real, redemptive support to a
complete stranger is a sign that the Roy we all know and love is back."
