      Here's my wash-up. Sorry for no new puzzles from me in months, I started work on a big project and sort-of forgot. Anyway!
      ACROSS 2A. Shy = COY, around "stammer" initially = S. 4A. Scorching = HOT, "the" in Madrid = EL. 6A. anag. PETRA. 7A. Initial letters of "Bela Lugosi's Unusual Role.
      DOWN
      1D. Drunk = SOT around hard = H. 2D. "Concoction" first = C + taken by mouth = ORAL. 3D. Cryptic def. with apologies. 5D. anag. ROLE.

        Great stuff, especially 6a! (I thought 3d was a mismatch in quantity, but I later realized you were going for the neutral pronoun... sorry I'm slow)
