Emmerdale star Jay Consul has shared exciting details about Billy Fletcher’s intense

upcoming scenes, revealing his nerves during the filming of high-stakes fight choreography.

Over the past month, Billy has been involved in gripping boxing

matches to support his family, and the storyline continues as he prepares for another unlicensed bout.

Consul, who joined the ITV soap in 2018, expressed his feelings about filming these challenging scenes, admitting, “I honestly thought I was stepping into the ring with a real fighter. It was quite nerve-wracking at times because the audience was really hyped up, creating an electric atmosphere.” He praised director Matt Hilton for his support, emphasizing the extensive preparation that went into making the scenes authentic. “It was a long day, but ultimately very rewarding.”

To prepare for the demanding fight sequences, Consul sought help from a personal trainer at his local gym, focusing on boxing techniques. “Having a background in mixed martial arts, my trainer was fantastic. The training not only got me in shape but also set a positive tone for the day,” he noted. While the filming was intense, Consul appreciated the experience and the effort put into crafting the action sequences.

As the storyline unfolds, Billy finds himself caught between his desire to provide for his family and the risks associated with his boxing career, particularly with his wife, Dawn, voicing her concerns. Consul explained, “Billy thinks the fights are going well, but he’s not fully considering the consequences of his choices.” He elaborated that while Billy sees the financial benefits, he’s also subconsciously aware of the potential dangers involved. “At some point, injuries are inevitable, and it’s tough to keep hiding them from Dawn. You can only explain them away as ‘boxing injuries’ for so long before she starts to realize the truth.”

The stakes are high not just for Billy, as Dawn worries about the risks he is taking. Other characters, including Erin Dingle and Ma Boyd, are also becoming increasingly concerned for his safety. With a background in unlicensed boxing, Erin understands the dangers Billy faces and is wary of his decision to fight. Consul noted that while Erin cares for Billy, she also recognizes the tension between them and is concerned he might be pushed too far by those around him, particularly by Mac, who has inadvertently built up Billy’s confidence without grasping the risks involved.

A new character, Jade, a boxing promoter with a ruthless edge, complicates matters further. When Billy hesitantly expresses his desire to withdraw from a fight, Jade’s hidden motives come to light. Consul described Jade as ambiguous and hinted at a darker side, saying, “Billy doesn’t know much about her, and her unexpected appearances with ‘heavies’ make him realize he’s in over his head. There’s something unsettling about her that makes him wary; he doesn’t want to put his family at risk.”

Billy’s past experiences with characters who have threatened his family only amplify his fears about crossing Jade. The pressure mounts as he weighs his options, knowing that his decisions could have significant implications for his loved ones. The conflict between his financial motivations and the safety of his family adds an emotional depth to the storyline, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats.

As Billy navigates these thrilling and dangerous challenges, fans can expect plenty of action and drama in the coming episodes, making this storyline a gripping highlight of *Emmerdale*. Consul’s portrayal of Billy’s internal struggles, combined with the electrifying fight scenes, promises to deliver an unforgettable viewing experience.
