Will Mellor of Coronation Street has shared details of his “life-changing” eye surgery and his wife’s response to it.
Due to eye degeneration, the actor, who portrays Harvey Gaskell in the ITV serial opera, had lens replacement surgery.
Will, 47, said that he was beginning to feel the effects of his vision problems and that he often asked his girlfriend Michelle McSween to read items for him when he couldn’t.
“It’s funny because a couple of days afterwards, the eye drops bottle, the writing on it, I couldn’t read the writing before the operation, and then once I had it, I picked it up and I could read it,” Will said in an interview with the Express on the aftermath of the surgery.
After I read it to my wife, we celebrated by bouncing around the bedroom. She said, “You see!” You may come and go in twenty minutes because of the speed at which modern technology works.
“The amount of things I probably missed and not being able to see properly over the years that now I don’t miss anymore,” he said, “is life-changing.”
Will appears in the wildly popular ITV drama Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office. Will co-hosts the podcast The Two Pints Podcast with his closest friend Ralf Little.
In the four-part series, which centres on former subpostmaster Alan Bates who lost his post office in north Wales after being accused of stealing, the actor portrays Lee Castleton.
Alan learned that he was not alone in the scandal—hundreds of people had also been impacted by it, even though they had done nothing wrong—in what has been called one of the “biggest miscarriages of justice” in the UK.
Many innocent individuals lost their houses, accrued debt, and 236 were sentenced to jail after being found guilty of stealing. In addition, four persons committed suicide.
Millions of people have been heartbroken to discover the genuine narrative of the catastrophe and have supported the real victims since the drama aired.
Over a million people signed a petition to revoke former Post Office CEO Paula Vennells’ CBE. Vennells was leading the organisation when it unfairly punished hundreds of its workers, and she ultimately said she would return it.
