Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has made fans go crazy with speculation as he shares a cryptic Instagram post that hints we might get an ITV soap crossover. The actor, who is best known for playing Billy Mayhew on the Cobbles, has shared a surprising photo that immediately sparked fan conversations.
A Trip Down the Memory Lane?
Brocklebank, who previously played Ivan Jones on Emmerdale, has posted a picture of himself outside the ITV Studios for the Yorkshire-based soap. His caption, “Oooooh, what’s going on here then?” was enough to fuel the speculations among the fans. While there was already a rumour about a possible crossover before the soap cut down the episodes, can the fan dream come true?
The post quickly drew attention from soap, stars, and fans. Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley responded with a series of kiss emojis while Corrie co-star Jane Hazlegrove jokingly warned, “If you are training with their netball team I’m going to divorce you!!!! IMMEDIATELY!!!😉💕💕”. Similarly, soap lovers also flooded the comments. One wrote, “Don’t tease me like this, oh my goodness.”
Another commented: “Ooooh you tease 😉🤭xx” “I feel a crossover coming” remarked a third fan, with a fourth writing: “I have so many questions about this but I am so here for it.” “Ivan!!!??? 😮 I remember 😉” added a fifth user, with a sixth asking: “You swapped the cobbles for the Dales? 😁”. One particularly enthusiastic fan even speculated how his current character, Billy, could logically end up in Emmerdale.
The fan suggested that the Vika might be called upon to assist Charles Anderson, given the deaths following the recent limo crash storyline. The fan wrote, “Billy has gone to help Charles [Anderson] with all the funerals Emmerdale are about to have x.” While there’s no official confirmation of a crossover, Brocklebank’s teasing post has certainly stirred excitement. Now, only the upcoming Coronation Street spoilers can reveal the rest. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more soap updates.
