Coronation Street<\/a> star Daniel Brocklebank has said ‘that’s it’ as he confirmed he has filmed his final scenes after almost 11 years.<\/p>\n

The actor made his debut in the ITV<\/a> soap towards the end of 2014 in the role of reformed vicar Billy Mayhew. In that time, he has seen his fair share of drama on the cobbles – particularly when it comes to matters of the heart.<\/p>\n

But Billy eventually fell in love and settled down with Paul Foreman, before his heartbreaking Motor Neurone Disease (MND) diagnosis and eventual death.<\/p>\n

While Billy is moving on with his life on the cobbles, it was revealed earlier this year that Daniel would be bowing out of the long-running show, after celebrating a decade in the role of Billy last December.<\/p>\n

Daniel said in a statement in May: “I have been working on Corrie for a quarter of my life.<\/p>\n

“I have adored every minute I have been in that building and have never not looked forward to going into work.<\/p>\n

“I love everyone who works on this show and whilst I am sad to be going, I am equally excited to see what the future holds.”<\/p>\n

Following his statement, show bosses confirmed that the character will be “tested in ways he never imagined” over the coming months, which will ultimately lead to his exit in 2026 a top-secret story.<\/p>\n

Daniel shared a final photo from his last day on the Corrie set<\/p>\n

With Corrie filming up to ten weeks in advance, it was on Tuesday (November 18) that Daniel confirmed he’d finished filming at the Trafford-based set for the last time.<\/p>\n

Sharing a selfie from the corridors of the Corrie building, a stone’s throw from Salford’s MediaCity, the soap star wrote on Instagram: “That\u2019s it. Last scene filmed. Bye bye @coronationstreet. Bye bye Billy.<\/p>\n

The last 11 years have gone by in a blink. I\u2019ve adored every moment of being part of this special family. I can\u2019t thank @itv and all at Corrie enough. It\u2019s been a ride. I adore you all.”<\/p>\n

Harriet Bibby, who plays Summer Spellman, was quick to respond as she said: “We will miss you so much! We love you loads”.<\/p>\n

Abi Webster star Sally Carman-Duttine also supported: “We will miss you lovely man. Now go get \u2018em!”<\/p>\n

Sue Devaney, who plays Debbie Webster in the ITV soap, gushed: “Love you! Will miss you so much!” Kirk Sutherland legend Andy Whyment added: “You\u2019re gonna be missed Dan, I\u2019m sure you\u2019re going to get loads of work.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The actor made his debut in the ITV soap towards the end of 2014Billy Mayhew star Daniel Brocklebank…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271492,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[2525,96,347,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-271491","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-coronation-street","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-itv","11":"tag-tv","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271491","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271491"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271491\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271491"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271491"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271491"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
