Has Kate Oates been on the magic mushrooms. :wall:
When Susan died in a car crash noone said the other driver was at fault. it was assumed it was her wreckless driving. Billy would have been very young maybe a new driver, learner driver or unlicensed driver? If that is the story. Why does he steal money from Adams office? He is a vicar. Two wrongs do not make a right and it is out of character.
Because in soapland you can't just be a good and kindhearted soul .. got to have a flaw somewhere or a dark secret from years ago which suddenly makes you behave totally different to how they were before ....Quote:

Billy in a wheelchair
Coronation Street fans have a new mystery to ponder after Daniel Brocklebank was spotted filming scenes in a wheelchair.
The actor, who plays vicar Billy Mayhew, was pictured shooting an emotional episode on location today (November 30) with co-stars Sue Cleaver and Matilda Freeman.

The scenes in question see Billy looking tearful when Eileen Grimshaw takes him for a meeting with Summer Spellman, the schoolgirl he's been hoping to formally adopt with his boyfriend Todd.
Billy is being reunited with Summer after some time apart, but the pressure clearly gets too much for him when they have to say goodbye again.
Corrie's latest paparazzi shots seem to suggest there'll be a shock accident on the way for Billy in the not-too-distant future.

Could Billy fall victim to the next Weatherfield stunt, or could someone from his shady past catch up with him? With little more known at the moment, it's really anyone's guess.
One thing we do know is that tabloid reports previously tipped Summer to leave with Todd when his final scenes air on Christmas Eve.
These pictures prove it won't be the last we see of Summer afterwards, but will Billy ever get her back full-time?

There are more agonising scenes ahead for Billy Mayhew in Coronation Street as his life hits rock bottom following a terrible injury. Recent pictures previously confirmed that Billy would be left in a wheelchair as he said a painful goodbye to Summer. And things aren’t set to get much better for the troubled vicar.
Dan Brocklebank was pictured filming scenes on crutches and Billy looks dishevelled and traumatised after everything that has befallen him. Currently on screen we are seeing him battle with the guilt around the fact he was involved in Susan Barlow’s death all of those years ago.
And that secret looks set to be the catalyst for his downfall as the Barlow family may well discover the truth. We can’t reveal what happens to Billy to leave him injured and alone but 2018 starts off in a terrible way for him.
These new scenes see him come face to face with his drug addict brother Lee as they meet up by a church – but is Billy reaching out to Lee for some help and support or could Lee exploit his brother’s condition and fractured emotional state?
Surely Billy isn’t about to make the devastating mistake of becoming embroiled in drugs?
Richard Crehan has reprised his role as heroin addict Lee for the storyline, having first appeared on the show some time ago to cause trouble for Billy. During his first stint, his need for cash led to him taking a scared Sarah Platt hostage, leaving Billy ashamed of his sibling.
But now the shoe could very much be on the other foot as Billy needs all of the help that he can get.
By this stage, both Todd and Summer will be gone and things are weighing heavily on Billy. Could Lee turn his life around or make it worse?
The scenes will air on our screens early next year.
Billy Mayhew's conscience gets the better of him yet again this week, just when he thinks that he's a goner. The local vicar attends court with Peter Barlow and manages to get himself off the hook for punching the Rovers boss a few weeks ago. With all forgiven and forgotten, the neighbours leave the court building together and intervene when they spot two other men fighting outside.
It's only when Billy and Peter are travelling home together that there's a shocking discovery for the pair, as a metal lucky charm has embedded itself into Billy's thigh after the altercation and he's bleeding profusely.
Although Peter stops the car and frantically tries to stop the bleeding, Billy fears it's the end for him and finally confesses all about how he was involved in the death of Susan Barlow.
Billy may think that he's making things right before he dies, but in reality, he's going nowhere and he'll have to deal with the consequences of his revelation in a dramatic Christmas Day storyline…

I lost my childhood from that point.
Sorry to hear that, I do feel sorry for Summer, I think Billy is being very selfishQuote:

rumour that he is getting a crush on wee david platt
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/cor...reman-romance/
Coronation Street has revealed that Billy Mayhew will get a new love interest in 2019.
Billy (Daniel Brocklebank) will strike up a bond with David Platt's former cellmate Paul Foreman when he re-joins the show in January.
Paul is returning to the cobbles on a more permanent basis and it's already been reported that an early plot twist will see him revealed as the brother of Gemma Winter.
Scenes airing in the New Year see Paul (Peter Ash) arrive on the Platts' doorstep unexpectedly after being released from prison.
Paul makes himself at home at Number 8 and explains to David (Jack P Shepherd) that he's looking for work as he hopes to turn his life around.
The ex-con faces disappointment when he tries to land a job at The Rovers, where Johnny explains that they're already fully staffed.
Things look brighter when Billy convinces Carla Connor to give Paul a chance, as part of the government’s rehabilitation scheme for former prisoners.
Paul is delighted over Billy's help and starts to look at him in a new light. Not shy about his feelings, Paul makes his intentions clear when Billy quizzes him about his relationship status on behalf of Izzy Armstrong.
Paul responds to Billy's questioning by flirting with him, leaving the vicar flustered. Is Billy finally ready to move on with his life after a year without Todd?

Has signed another contract :cheer::thumbsup:
https://www.digitalspy.com/soaps/cor...y-mayhew-exit/
Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has confirmed he is leaving the ITV soap after 11 years in the role of Billy Mayhew.
Digital Spy understands that Billy, who debuted on the soap back in 2014, will leave the cobbles in 2026 as part of a major exit storyline.
Further details about the storyline, which will see Billy be "tested in ways he never imagined", are being kept under wraps for the time being.
Addressing his exit, Brocklebank said: "I have been working on Corrie for a quarter of my life. I have adored every minute I have been in that building and have never not looked forward to going into work.
"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."
"Billy will be involved in a major storyline over the coming months, which will see him tested in ways he never imagined, as friendships and his faith are pushed to the limit," added Corrie producer Kate Brooks.
She continued: "We?re incredibly sad to bid farewell to Dan, who has been fantastic in some of Corrie?s biggest storylines over the past few years, most notably Paul?s MND.
"An actor of immeasurable talent and skill, and an absolute treasure behind the scenes - he will be missed by all of us on the cobbles."
Brocklebank's exit is the latest notable departure from the ITV soap, with Helen Worth making her final appearance as Gail Platt over the festive period, while Sue Cleaver is set to bow out as Eileen Grimshaw later this year.
Meanwhile, Colson Smith's final scenes as Craig Tinker aired this week, when the character tragically died in hospital after being attacked by Mick Michaelis.
Reflecting on his time on the soap after the episode aired, the actor, who joined the show in 2011, explained how he felt when he found out that Craig was being written out.
"When I was called in for the chat with Kate Brooks, I'd already braced myself for what was about to happen," he explained.
"I have been in that building since I was 12 years old, so I know exactly how it works and that my time was up!
"I knew that Craig had backed himself into a corner that was going to be really hard to get out of, so I fully expected the chat to go that way."

Coronation Street may be planning to kill off a long-running character after 11 years on the Cobbles.
The Sun is claiming that Billy Mayhew will be making a permanent exit, and while the details are still be worked out, the soap's bosses are reportedly thinking about a Christmas or New Year death for maximum impact.
A spokesperson for Corrie told Digital Spy: "We don't comment on storyline speculation."
What we do know for certain though is that Billy's actor Daniel Brocklebank is leaving the soap, even if the door is left open for his return.
"I have been working on Corrie for a quarter of my life. I have adored every minute I have been in that building and have never not looked forward to going into work," he said in May while announcing his exit.
"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."
Corrie's executive producer Kate Brookes also teased the character's exit at the time, sharing: "Billy will be involved in a major storyline over the coming months, which will see him tested in ways he never imagined, as friendships and his faith are pushed to the limit."
During his time in Weatherfield, Billy has struggled with drugs, faced troubles becoming Summer Spellman's legal guardian, and had relationships with Sean Tully, Todd Grimshaw, and Paul Foreman ? the latter of which ended in tragedy due to Paul's motor neurone disease.
Don't tell me. He gets shot by a member of a new family that has just moved into the street and then spends several weeks in the one bed Weatherfield General has before dying. Meanwhile the new person is arrested by Kit and put in the one police cell in Weatherfield nick. It turns out that the killer is Billy's long lost son who he knew nothing about.Quote:

Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has spoken about his dramatic exit storyline for the first time. His character Billy Mayhew will be leaving the cobbles early next year ? and his final plot is one that's not to be missed.
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.
Speaking exclusively to us on the red carpet at the Inside Soap Awards 2025, Daniel reflected on how it feels to be saying goodbye to Coronation Street after an impressive 11-year run.
"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 ? a third of my career has been spent there.
"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."
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?"
Fans have been worried for Billy recently after concerning signs that he's getting under the skin of new villain Theo Silverton. Deeply possessive in his relationship, Theo clearly disapproves of his partner Todd Grimshaw being so friendly with Billy.
"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!
"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."
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.
"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 ? comedy, a musical.
"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."
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.

Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has reportedly filmed his final scenes for the ITV soap, almost 11 years to the month after his character Billy Mayhew first appeared on the Cobbles (5 December 2014, to be precise).
The Sun has reported that the actor has wrapped up his long stint on Corrie, although neither he nor the soap's official social media accounts have posted about it at the time of writing.
The news isn't unexpected, as it had already been announced recently that the actor had landed a role in the musical production of Young Frankenstein, performing in the Liverpool run of shows from 3 December to 3 January. Tickets are on sale here if you're keen.
Last month, Brocklebank teased his newest role in a chat with Digital Spy at the Inside Soap Awards, stating: "I'm going straight into something that's really left-field from Corrie ? comedy, a musical.
"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."
Though his on-screen exit will occur in the early part of 2026, the actor didn't tease what his exit storyline could consist of, but he did state that he was happy with it and thinks that it's "befitting" for his character.
When he announced his departure back in May, Brocklebank said: "I have been working on Corrie for a quarter of my life. I have adored every minute I have been in that building and have never not looked forward to going into work."
"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," continued the star, who has also appeared on fellow ITV soap Emmerdale.
Over the years, Billy's storylines have seen him get together and break up with Sean Tully and Todd Grimshaw, and care for his husband Paul Foreman before he eventually passed away from motor neurone disease.
There was also his adoption storyline, as well as the aforementioned one that saw him briefly become addicted to drugs.
Some good news from Corrie at last.Quote:
