The family was devastated. A secret of immense proportions had been revealed on Coronation Street, and it threatened to make Billy Mayhew's already heart-wrenching grief over the loss of his husband, Paul Foreman, even more unbearable. In Monday's episode, we saw Paul's journey with motor neurone disease come to an end, 18 months after his initial diagnosis. His condition had been deteriorating steadily, leaving him unable to walk and eventually struggling to speak.
On their last night together, Billy had gone out with his friends while the family came together to give him a much-needed break. But when he returned home drunk, he realized in horror that he had lost his phone. Panic set in as he feared that all the precious memories of Paul, including photos and videos, would be lost forever. Along with David Platt, he embarked on a frantic search for the phone.
Meanwhile, back at home, Paul's condition was rapidly declining and Billy was unreachable. Bernie, Paul's mother, tried to reach out to him to inform him of the situation, but to no avail. As Bernie began to make arrangements for Paul's funeral, Billy was struggling to make it to the hospital in time. The carpark was congested due to a broken down van, leaving him with no choice but to make his way on foot. As he raced through the streets, Paul passed away.
Broken by the loss of his husband, Billy couldn't bring himself to leave the house. Meanwhile, Bernie had already started making plans for Paul's funeral at the Shuttleworth's Funeral Parlour. Todd Grimshaw, Billy's friend, couldn't help but wonder if Bernie had consulted Billy on any of the arrangements. Eventually, Billy was coaxed out of his flat and found himself overwhelmed with emotions when he realized that the cafe where he and Paul had first met was now the place where he had lost him.
Despite his heartache, Billy found some solace in knowing that Paul had heard his voice in his final moments. He turned to Summer, Paul's niece, to ask how Paul had responded. But Summer was too stunned to reveal the truth, and Todd stepped in to assure Billy that Paul was happy. However, as Billy continued to press for more information, Bernie finally admitted that Paul had passed away with a smile on his face.
Meanwhile, the drama continued as Billy and Bernie's relationship became strained, with both of them grieving in their own way. Todd tried to intervene and bring them together, but Billy stormed out when he learned the truth about Bernie's phone call. However, after some soul-searching, the pair agreed to put their differences aside and come together in their time of need. But there was a sense that more hurt was on the horizon, with Todd possibly being the one to expose a shocking lie.
As the episode came to an end, viewers were left wondering about the future of the characters and how they would cope with their loss.
