Willy's 3-year sentence was only for embezzlement and framery. I think the reason why his sentence wasn't longer, is because Arthur's sudden death shortly after his release from prison (while Willy had presently been given bail) was an unrelated matter, as far as the court and jury were concerned. Fortunately, the prison board gladly paid Pauline a £5000 out of court compensation settlement for any wrongdoings. Pauline chose to keep the money as a rainy day fund for Martin's higher education. However, that was until Ian borrowed and lost it all as part of his ill-fated housing development scheme, which landed him in bankruptcy.
Yeah Willy Roper was a great character but since he had a 3 year prison that means he would be released in 1999. So what if he returned to Walford and he became a shifty dodgy guy or he became a gangster like Jason Cox and Jack Dalton or he became another version of sleazy womanizer by flirting with Mel and Louise Raymond Tiffany's mother, Carol, Pauline, Bianca, Teresa, Annie Palmer, Irene, Sarah Hills, Sam Mitchell, Saskia's Sister Claudia, Pat, and Rosa di Marco even if they brought other women back like Lorraine Wicks, April Branning, Michelle Fowler and Angie Watts that would be great and if they made willy turn gay or bisexual. Even they could bring Dan Zapperi back in 1999 to do dodgy business for Willy or keep him as a villian like another classic like Nick Cotton and Steve Owen or him like another version of Ian Beale or another version of Steve Owen or David Wicks older version or Richard Cole or make Willy a good character like making be serious or make him developed learning disabilities or difficulties and a man child like they did with Butch Dingle from Emmerdale and or make him develop autism like they did to Roy Cropper from Coronation street or make him an another loveable buffoon clown comedy character like they did to Barry, Billy, Minty, Terry, Jim and Stuart. If Willy Roper came back in 1999 instead. Do you guys think it would be interesting idea if that happened before and what would you guys prefer him as and did you wish he came back well.
Imagine if Willy Roper came back in 1999 do you guys think it would work and would he remain a villian or had a personality transplant into a dodgy and a sleaze womanizer or having him develop a disability like autism or learning difficulties or turning gay or bisexual or turning him into a friendly loveable buffoon like they did to Terry, Jim Branning, Billy Mitchell and Barry Evans. Well what do you think.
0:12 THE BEGINNING OF MERCILESS MARK!!!!!!
52? Arthur looked at least 60!
Bill Treacher was absolutely exhausted when he quit (poor sod).
Bill Treacher was 65/66 when he left EE. He was born in 1930 and was 13 years older than the character he played (Arthur was born in 1943).
He looked his real age which at the time was 65 in real life!

He had a clean criminal record aswell before he framed Arthur, so that would've gone in his favour, too.

Do you have the scenes where Arthur collapses and dies?
