Paul Foreman is facing another upsetting ordeal in Coronation Street. Before this, he turns his attention to his and Billy's stag do. When they arrive at the Bistro, Billy is taken aback by all of the glitter and rainbows while Paul is absolutely thrilled.
"I do feel slightly honoured," says Daniel Brocklebank, discussing the prospect of Corrie's first gay wedding. "I mean, obviously there's been long running gay characters in the show, prior to Billy with Todd and Sean and also Sophie. And I'm thrilled that we are going to finally have a wedding. Billy had been on the other side of the altar for so many it seems fitting for him to have the first one, and with him being a religious man it is significant in that way too. Although he hasn't been the best omen at weddings. Most of the ones he has officiated at haven't ended well! Let's hope that doesn't jinx it."
During the event, Bernie is paid a visit by two police officers. They ask her questions about a potential fraud investigation involving Paul's friend, Shelley Rothington. At the station, Bernie pretends to be helping a young woman with MND by collecting a few parcels for her.
The police then delivers a shocking revelation for Bernie, one that will leave Paul reeling. Towards the end of the week, Paul pays a visit to George and goes over Shelley's funeral arrangements. He also explains that he has written some words about her that he'd like placed with her body.
Shelley had MND longer than Paul, which meant she represented a glimpse into what his future will look like as his motor neurone disease progresses. Can he hold himself together at the funeral, knowing what's ahead in his own life?
