Coronation Street’s Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) and Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin) finally give into their feelings for one another this week – but their romantic realisation could not come at a worse time.
Speaking about the knife-crime storyline, actor Liam McCheyne, who plays Dylan, recently said: ‘It’s an absolute privilege to be able to do this storyline and of course it’s great as an actor to have one as important as this.
While temporarily buoyed by the development, reality later hits for Dylan when things don’t go as his brief Adam Barlow (Sam Robertson) had hoped in court.
This storyline I’m currently involved in is predominantly aimed towards younger people, and if we can get even just one person to stop carrying a knife, then the storyline has done its job.’.
Coronation Street airs these scenes from Monday 24 February at 8pm on ITV1 or stream first from 7am on ITVX.
