Billy Mayhew is leaving the cobbles. Show boss Kate Brooks has decided to write out the popular vicar, played by Daniel Brocklebank, as part of a storyline that is set to reach a dramatic climax next year. The plot, Kate reveals, will see Billy ‘tested in ways he never imagined, as his faith and friendships are pushed to the limit’.
Daniel (right), 45, who joined Corrie in 2014, says, ‘I love everyone who works on this show and while I am sad to be going, I am equally excited to see what the future holds.’
In recent months, a raft of characters, including Gail Chadwick (formerly Platt), Mason Radcliffe, Daisy Midgeley and Craig Tinker, have exited Weatherfield, while a departure is looming for fan favourite Debbie Webster.
