Billy Wyatt was Gina Seddon's Irish boyfriend in 1988. Gina was thrown out of her family's home in Arkwright Street by Eddie Seddon as he disapproved of Billy as he'd been in prison. After taking root at 13 Coronation Street with Sally and Kevin Webster, Gina brought Billy over to show him off to her sister and brother-in-law. Billy was brash and confident, describing his probation officer Jeff as a "personal manager", but was otherwise open about his circumstances, including being long-term unemployed and living in lousy digs with a man called Dave who had never had a job. Worried about Gina going off with Billy and getting into trouble, the Websters reluctantly let her stay at No.13, and so Billy was around for a while too.
