And the ITV soap also delivered another dramatic twist when Rana Habeeb’s life was cut short during the Underworld roof collapse storyline, which happened on her wedding day to Kate Connor. But Billy actor Dan has said he is 'honoured' to have been a part of the first-ever gay wedding in more than 60 years of Corrie.
On getting to film the wedding in a church, Dan revealed that the emotions on-screen were real as he felt overwhelmed as himself and for his character. He said: "It was a beautiful moment. I've been in Corrie for the best part of a decade and have stood at the front of the church watching people walk down that aisle towards me as I've done the services for their wedding and to suddenly be the person to walk down that aisle, it was incredibly emotional.
