The news of Paul Foreman's death has left Coronation Street fans devastated. Peter Ash, who played the role of Paul's betrayer, rightfully won the award for best Serial Drama Performance at the National Television Awards. However, for those who were close to Paul, the pain and grief only seem to be intensifying. Bernie Winter and Summer Spellman, in particular, are struggling with not only their loss but also the guilt of keeping a secret from Billy Mayhew. Apparently, Billy never had the chance to speak to his late husband on the phone, despite what Bernie and Summer had claimed. In an interview with The Agency, popular stars Jane Hazlegrove and Harriet Bibby opened up about their characters' struggles in dealing with this tragedy.
Harriet shared, "It's been really tough for everyone involved, and I think the guilt is really eating away at them. Billy is desperate to know about Paul's final moments and how his words may have affected him." She also mentioned how Summer and Bernie are coping with their grief and the added burden of having to keep up with the lie they told for the "greater good."
Jane added, "Bernie is doing her best, but let's face it, she doesn't always get it right. But that's the beauty of her character, and I consider myself lucky to be able to say her lines." She went on to say that although the storyline is devastating, it's also what Coronation Street does best - bringing to light important issues and making the audience reflect on their own lives.
"We are fortunate to be able to leave the set and go back to our own lives. But who knows what the future holds for any of us? It's been an honor to be a part of this story," Jane added.
The story is far from over, and there will be conflicts over Paul's funeral and beyond. Bernie and Billy have differing opinions on how to honor Paul's memory, and tensions are high between the two. "It's all going to get a bit chaotic!" Jane chuckled. "I mean, it was bound to happen, right? Billy is a devout Christian, and Bernie is...well, she's not. So there will definitely be clashes and disagreements over how to say goodbye to Paul."
Harriet also shared her thoughts on the situation, saying, "Summer is caught in the middle. But being in that position has given her a unique perspective, and she understands both sides. She just wants to celebrate Paul's life in a way that he would have wanted. She becomes the voice of reason between Bernie and Billy, trying to find a middle ground."
As for whether Summer's efforts will bring Bernie and Billy closer together, that remains to be seen. But one thing is for sure - the aftermath of Paul's death will continue to have a profound impact on those who loved him.
