Bishop Redmond was the newly-appointed bishop of Weatherfield who attended a jumble sale at St. Mary's Church in May 2015. Billy Mayhew had only been in position as the vicar of the church for a few months and was in the early days of a relationship with Sean Tully. The Bishop was known to be extremely traditional in his views of homosexuality and Billy persuaded Sean to hide their relationship from each other. Credited as "Bishop", the character's surname was given in dialogue.
