As the emotional storyline of Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman continues to unfold on Coronation Street, actor Daniel Brocklebank has given fans a glimpse of what's to come in the next part of their journey.
As many viewers are aware, Paul has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease, a debilitating illness that will ultimately take his life. In the upcoming episodes of the popular ITV soap, the couple will receive the devastating news from an occupational therapist that Paul's muscles have deteriorated to the point where he can no longer safely use the stairlift in their home.
Currently, Billy and Paul are on a waiting list to move to a more accessible living space, but until that happens, Paul will be confined to their flat above the flower shop. In a heartwarming gesture, Billy decides to make the most of their remaining time together and tells Paul that they will leave the flat one last time and do whatever he wants.
But while these scenes will be filled with love and warmth, there will also be a sense of sadness as the reality of Paul's limited time left sinks in. The news from the therapist serves as a reminder to both Billy and Paul that they must cherish every moment they have together.
Actor Daniel Brocklebank, who plays Billy, recently revealed in an interview that viewers can expect to see Paul's demise in the coming weeks. But amidst the heartbreaking moments, there will also be some beautiful and poignant scenes as well. Brocklebank also shared that despite the difficult storyline, he and co-star Peter Ash, who plays Paul, have found moments of laughter and camaraderie on set.
He also mentioned that he is proud to use his platform as an actor to raise awareness for motor neurone disease. Having personally experienced the effects of the illness through his grandfather, Brocklebank is glad to see the increased awareness and support for the cause.
As for what's in store for Billy after Paul's passing, the actor admitted that he is just as clueless as the viewers. With the scriptwriters in control, he can only wait and see what fate has in store for his character. But one thing is for sure, Billy's journey will not be an easy one as he navigates life without his beloved partner.
