Billy confesses dark family secret to Todd in Coronation Street

Next week on Coronation Street we'll see Billy the Vicar confide in Todd and reveal his dark family secret.  Now then, we've already seen Billy being pestered for cash from one of his "troubled parisioners", but Billy reveals to Todd that the lad is Lee, his brother. Not only that, Lee's a heroin addict too.

Inside Soap magazine have a great interview with Daniel Brocklebank, who plays vicar Billy Mayhew.

Daniel explains that Billy had a rough childhood. "Billy's mother left early on and when his father found out he was gay, he threw Billy out of the house and told him he was dead to him. Later on, when their dad was dying of alcoholism, a neighbour contacted Billy to tell him to come home - but his father threw him out again.

"The trouble is that Lee doesn't know what happened. He thinks that Billy just abandoned him. Now he's just come out of prison and he's a heroin addict."

Billy confides in Todd rather than Sean about all of this and Billy and Todd become closer afterwards.  Daniel says: "Billy and Sean have always been very honest with each other, so this is bound to drive a wedge between them."

Oh, let's hope so.
