Brian Capron: 'A mighty oak has fallen'
Brian Capron, who played infamous killer Richard Hillman in Coronation Street, told us how the sad death of Anne Kirkbride will affect everybody on the soap.
The actor told us: “It really is like a family, it’s a cliché but everybody feels it and of course they felt it, to cancel a day's filming yesterday because everybody couldn’t carry on - I can totally understand that, a mighty oak has fallen really.”
On the possible story lines to mark the departure of Deirdre, Capron explained “they’ll think of something because they are the tops… She’ll get a very special kind of send off I’m sure."
