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   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.
