For the singing sequences Heras's voice was dubbed by that of Swedish session singer Emil Heiling.[citation needed] Heras however, was still given vocal coaching and was taught how to lip-sync.[2] Following his role in Rock Rivals Heras was cast in the feature horror film Splintered as a "stoner" and "chilled out character who doesn't really care".[4]

The character returned to Coronation Street in May 2018, but not portrayed by Heras.[9] Instead, former Emmerdale actor Ryan Prescott replaced him, after new producer Kate Oates decided to recast the role.[10]
