And it’s fair to say it didn’t take him long to become a firm favourite with viewers.He’s also played a part in several big storylines. From his romance with Honey (Emma Barton) to the tragic loss of his daughter Lola (Danielle Harold), Billy’s time in Walford has not been short of drama.Especially at the moment, as in recent weeks Bea (Ronni Ancona) has been obsessed with Billy’s wife Honey Mitchell (Emma Barton) since arriving in Walford back in January.As her jealousy grew, Bea even moved into the Mitchell home and obtained a credit card in Honey's name. And in Thursday’s episode (June 18) Bea overheard Billy telling Alfie (Shane Ritchie) about a recent date night disaster.Realising it was her chance to drive a wedge between the beloved married couple, Beau offered to take Honey for a drink and dripped poison in Honey’s ear.Away from the long-running BBC soap though, it turns out actor Perry is not the only star in his family. He is second cousins with actress and singer Georgina Hagen.Georgia is best known for her roles as Rebecca Chalmers in the CBBC series The Story of Tracy Beaker in 2005 and as Lauren Waters in the 2008 ITV musical series Britannia High.
