Corrie actor promises big scenes as Billy learns devastating truth about Todd

Coronation Street actor Daniel Brocklebank has teased the moment Todd Grimshaw's lies are exposed.

His character Billy Mayhew has absolutely no idea what partner Todd has been up to since his return late last year.

Todd when to extreme lengths to win back Billy, even splitting him up with his partner at the time, Paul, by setting up his love rival.

But despite warnings from Paul about Todd's behaviour, Billy has stuck by him.

This could all be about to change though, with Billy actor Dan teasing the big scenes ahead where Todd's secrets are finally exposed.

While details are being kept under wraps, Dan confessed he couldn't wait for everything to unravel and for viewers to see what they've been filming.

Speaking to The Mirror and other press, he said: "Billy can’t see it, so I’ve had to play dumb for the last few months, not noticing things that are going on.

"I think the viewers are waiting for it. The tweets that I get from people ask: 'When is he going to get found out?'

"Certainly out on the street as well, people have been asking: 'How can't you see it? I can't believe you can't see what's going on!'

"You've got to build it up to knock it down, so I'm looking forward to all of that unravelling and airing, because it's been fun to shoot.

"I love Gareth and we get on like a house on fire. It's been so brilliant to be able to build this up. I'm looking forward to the audience's reaction when it all does come out."

On whether Billy could forgive Todd, Daniel added: "He always tries to do the right thing and never really quite manages it. He always messes it up somewhere.

"But because of his job, it's all about forgiveness. So I think from a professional point of view, he would have to forgive Todd.

"It's easier said than done when you've had your heart broken, but I think for Summer's sake, Billy would probably – at least on the surface – try to find a middle ground, at least just to try and keep that co-parenting stable for Summer.

"Todd is a good dad to Summer. But I think it's also about peace of mind for Billy, really. As we all know, if you're hating on someone, they can't feel it. The only person that really affects badly is you, if you're holding onto all that negative energy.

"So I'm sure somewhere, somehow, even if it's through a bottle of whisky, Billy would find his way to forgiving but maybe not forgetting."

Coronation Street airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7:30pm and 8:30pm on ITV.
