Rochefort told The Independent that he is particularly pleased by the impact of long-standing transsexual character Hayley Cropper (Julie Hesmondhalgh), who has become a fan favourite since her introduction in 1998.
He said: "Julie does an amazing job and gets a lot of support from the transgender community - lots of quite moving letters."
