Richard Hillman is a fictional character from the British ITV soap opera Coronation Street, portrayed by Brian Capron. Introduced on 20 June 2001, Richard initially appears as a respectable financial adviser who begins a relationship with Gail Platt (Helen Worth). He later becomes one of the programme's best-known villains, with storylines involving fraud, manipulation and murder. Richard's original stint culminates in March 2003 when, after his crimes are exposed, he abducts Gail and her family and attempts to kill them in a murder–suicide by driving into a canal, where he dies while the others survive. The character continued to be referenced in subsequent years. Capron appeared in the 2010 spin-off DVD Coronation Street: A Knight's Tale as Richard's brother, Dickie. In December 2024, Capron briefly reprised the role in a dream/vision sequence as part of Gail's exit storyline.
