Coronation Street star Rob Mallard, who plays Daniel Osbourne, has opened up about his experience with a tremor and how it could be incorporated into the soap. Mallard revealed that he has a benign essential tremor, which causes his hands to shake, and he has spoken to producers about potentially using it in a storyline.
In an interview, Mallard explained that his tremor is not a symptom of any serious condition, but it is something he has learned to manage. He said that the idea of incorporating it into his character's storyline is something that has been discussed, as it could raise awareness and help others who experience similar symptoms.
The actor, who has been on the cobbles since 2016, noted that his character Daniel has already dealt with various challenges, including mental health issues and a difficult past. Adding a tremor storyline could add another layer of depth to the character and provide a platform for discussing neurological conditions.
Mallard's openness about his condition has been praised by fans and health advocates, who see it as a positive step towards normalizing conversations about tremors and other involuntary movements. The potential storyline is still in the early stages of discussion, but Mallard is hopeful that it will come to fruition.
