Corrie's Dylan star says 'it begins' in tribute to brother who starred in soap
The actor, who is known for playing Dylan Wilson in the ITV soap, took to social media as he marked the start of a brand new chapter
Coronation Street star Liam McCheyne has marked the start of a brand new chapter with his twin brother who also once starred in the same soap.
The actor, who is known for playing Dylan Wilson in the ITV soap, took to social media early on Tuesday (January 21) to mark his and Connor's 18th birthday.
Sharing pictures of the pair - from them channelling the Kray Twins at Halloween last year, to when they were youngsters sporting matching England football kits - Liam wrote on his Instagram page: "So it begins, chapter 18. Dare I say it we are adults now!
"So, a very happy birthday to my right-hand man @connormccheyne both making our marks in our own ways. Here's to adulthood. Can't wait to see what's in store."
Corrie co-star Vicky Myers, who plays DS Lisa Swain, was quick to respond as she wrote in the comments section: "Happy 18th Birthday! Hope you both have a fantastic day." George Shuttleworth star Tony Maudsley also shared: "Awwww. Happy big birthday, fellas," while Elle Mulvaney, who plays Amy Barlow, commented: "Happy birthday you two." Sally Metcalfe star Sally Dynevor also posted: "Happy Birthday boys."

And the birthday wishes continued to flow in from Liam's followers. @mariigull said: "Happy birthday to you both! have an amazing day." @wickedchicksrule replied: "Happy birthday lads. Hope it’s brilliant." @sophieredmondxx1 added: "Happy Birthday too both of you!!! Have the best day ever."
Liam returned to Corrie back in 2020, ten years after he was first cast in the role of Dylan on the cobbles for a brief stint before returning again in 2022. Liam first appeared alongside his twin brother Connor as Dylan in 2011 but while Connor has gone on to focus on sport, Liam has carried on acting.
