Coronation Street spoilers<\/a> follow.<\/p>\n

Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has spoken about his dramatic exit storyline<\/a> for the first time. His character Billy Mayhew will be leaving the cobbles early next year \u2013 and his final plot is one that’s not to be missed.<\/p>\n

Show bosses announced in May that Billy will be “tested in ways he never imagined” over the coming months, which will ultimately lead to the vicar bowing out in a top-secret story.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to us on the red carpet at the Inside Soap Awards 2025<\/a>, Daniel reflected on how it feels to be saying goodbye to Coronation Street after an impressive 11-year run.<\/p>\n

“It’s a mixed bag of feelings,” he admitted. “I am so excited. I’ve been an actor for 32 years, 11 of which have been spent at Corrie. Which is a long time \u2013 a third of my career has been spent there.<\/p>\n

“I will of course miss going into work every day. I won’t miss the people because I’ll see them all the bloody time anyway! All my mates that I see at work, I’ll see them all the time.”<\/p>\n

Asked if producers have told him about how Billy leaves yet, he replied: “I know what my storyline is! Of course I’m not going to tell you that, but yes I do know. I am [happy with it]. I think it’s befitting\u2026”<\/p>\n

Fans have been worried for Billy recently after concerning signs that he’s getting under the skin of new villain Theo Silverton<\/a>. Deeply possessive in his relationship, Theo clearly disapproves of his partner Todd Grimshaw being so friendly with Billy. <\/p>\n

“It’s tough times,” Daniel confirmed. “Obviously Todd’s going through a bit of a tough time. I think Billy is a little none-the-wiser at the moment!<\/p>\n

“But I’m always looking forward to exploring the drama. That’s what we do best at Corrie, so we’ll see how it develops.”<\/p>\n

Looking forward, Daniel has already bagged a new job away from Coronation Street which will allow him to show a whole new side of his personality.<\/p>\n

“What I’m most excited about is the work that’s coming up,” he told us. “I’m going straight into a musical. I’m doing Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein at the Playhouse in Leeds. So I’m going straight into something that’s really left-field from Corrie \u2013 comedy, a musical.<\/p>\n

“I think I might even be doing a bit of tap-dancing, which Billy never did! He took heroin, he never tap-danced! So I’m hugely excited to get back out there into the world and see what’s going on, I can’t wait.”<\/p>\n

The Inside Soap Awards 2025 took place in London on Monday night (September 29) and saw Corrie walk away with the top prize for Best Soap.<\/p>\n
