It was a bittersweet day on tonight's episode of Coronation Street as the characters returned to school after the summer break. For Paul Foreman, it was a particularly emotional day as he reflected on his life since being diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year. As viewers, we have seen Paul slowly lose his independence and say goodbye to his normal life as the illness has taken over his body.
Just a few months ago, Paul was told by a nurse that he could no longer use the stairlift due to his weakening bones. This left him confined to his flat, unable to leave without assistance. As a result, his friends and family have been making regular visits to keep him company. In tonight's episode, Gemma Winter arrived with her children, including the quads, who were all dressed in their new school uniforms. It was a heartwarming moment as Paul was surprised and delighted to see them.
With the children back at school, Paul had time to reflect on the morning and all the special moments he will miss out on with his nieces and nephews as he nears the end of his life. He expressed his fear of being forgotten and asked his friend Billy Mayhew to ensure that the children never forget him. The love and bond within the Winter/Brown family is so strong that it's guaranteed that Paul will never be forgotten, but Billy understood his concerns.
Later on, we see Paul recording a manifesto of all the things he wants Billy to do after he's gone. However, things take an unexpected turn when the synthesiser runs out of power and he is unable to finish. Thankfully, Summer Spellman takes charge and insists that Billy takes a break while Paul rests. She shows her caring nature by trying to help Paul in any way she can.
As the week progresses, we see some progress between Paul and his long-lost brother Kit Green, who pays him a visit. They both agree to spend as much time together as possible to make up for the lost years. It's touching to see their relationship grow and heal after so many years apart.
