Prepare yourselves for an emotional rollercoaster in the upcoming episodes of Coronation Street. The heart-wrenching news has been revealed that Paul Foreman will tragically pass away next week. This follows last year's devastating car accident, where Carla, under the influence of drugged drinks, collided with Paul who was on Peter's new motorbike.
As Paul recovered from his injuries, he noticed that his right hand was taking an unusually long time to heal. As the weeks went by, Paul began to worry about the state of his hand. After undergoing some tests, his world was turned upside down when the doctor diagnosed him with motor neurone disease.
Actor Peter Ash, who portrays Paul, shared that the producers were determined to portray the illness accurately and realistically. He stated, "Iain [MacLeod] said from the beginning there's no time scale on this, we're not going to rush it." Peter also mentioned that he was given prior notice of the storyline's progression, allowing him to prepare for each stage of Paul's illness.
The devastating scenes of Paul's final moments with his family have left viewers heartbroken. Despite their grief, his loved ones have remained strong and cherished every moment they had with him. As Peter recalls filming his last scenes, he admits that it was challenging to hold back his emotions. "It was quite hard to not get emotional during that scene where they're all there giving all those beautiful goodbyes," he shared.
He continued, "I had to pretend to not hear it, pretty much. Especially when he does pass, it's that thing of trying not to breathe at all, which gets a bit tricky after a while!" Peter added that the scene was beautifully written and that it was a privilege to have his favourite co-stars present for his final scene.
In the past few weeks, Paul has made unforgettable memories, such as marrying Billy, bonding with his long-lost brother Kit, and enjoying a drink at the pub with his friends. As the week comes to an end, Billy agrees to meet up with David for a few drinks. However, when Billy wakes up the next morning with a hangover, he realizes that he has lost his phone, which had many precious pictures and memories of Paul. In a panic, he retraces his steps to find it.
Meanwhile, Summer and Bernie are in the flat and discover Paul unresponsive on the sofa, struggling to breathe. They immediately call for an ambulance, but unfortunately, Billy has left Paul at the worst possible time, and they have no way of contacting him. As they try to keep Paul alive, the odds are against Billy as he desperately tries to make it back in time for his final goodbye.
Actor Daniel Brocklebank, who plays Billy, shared his personal connection to the storyline, as his grandfather also suffered from motor neurone disease. He expressed his pride in being a part of the storyline and the importance of raising awareness about the illness.
As the family grieve the loss of Paul and face the difficult task of planning his funeral, tensions remain high. Billy wakes up on the sofa, coming to terms with the reality that Paul is no longer with him. As the days go by, the family will have to find a way to cope with their loss and continue living without Paul in their lives.
