Coronation Street's Daniel Brocklebank recently took to his Instagram to share a heartwarming picture with his co-stars, one of whom is leaving the long-running ITV soap after six years. Daniel, who plays the role of vicar Billy Mayhew, is currently portraying a storyline in which his character is taking care of his husband Paul Foreman, who has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. The couple are also the adoptive parents of Summer Spellman, played by Harriet Bibby.
In a recent episode dedicated to their storyline, Billy and Paul spend a day together before Paul's condition worsens and he is confined to the four walls of their home. The couple visit the church where they got married and have a drink at the Rovers with their friends. However, as Paul's condition progresses, he struggles to communicate with Billy and becomes upset when he can't express his love for him. Despite this, Paul decides that he wants to continue living for as long as possible and let nature take its course.
As this storyline is emotionally intense, the co-stars understand the importance of positive distractions. Daniel recently shared a photo on his Instagram with Harriet and Peter, enjoying some time away from the show. The trio are all smiles in the picture, showing the love and bond they share. Daniel expressed his gratitude for his co-stars in the caption, saying that it's a daily pleasure to work with them.
In a recent interview, Daniel opened up about how he manages to switch off after a heavy day of filming. He mentioned that the show has been all-consuming, with very little downtime. However, he finds solace in his three little dogs and his love for gardening. He also enjoys getting away in his camper van during the weekends, as long as the weather permits. For him, being in nature and the outdoors is a recharging experience. And of course, a glass of wine always helps to unwind after a long day.
Daniel also shared his love for his character and the show, saying that it's a privilege to be a part of such a long-running and beloved series. He also expressed his gratitude for the fans and their constant support. And for those who want to stay updated on the latest soap spoilers, Daniel encourages them to join the Metro's WhatsApp Soaps community, where they can access exclusive content and interviews with the stars.
