Devastating death of major Coronation Street character confirmed as cast film funeral
Emotional times lie ahead for the residents of Coronation Street, as they’ll soon gather together to say goodbye to Paul Foreman (Peter Ash).
Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year. This Friday (July 26), in an instalment dedicated entirely to their storyline, Paul and Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) will leave the flat one more time before Paul finds himself confined to their home.
Having been told it is no longer safe for Paul to use the stair lift to leave the flat, Billy takes Paul out one last time, and the pair visit places that mean a lot to them, including the church they were married in.
Before they head out, Paul wakes up to find that his speech as drastically deteriorated. Throughout the episode, viewers will hear Paul’s innermost thoughts through a voiceover by actor Peter Ash, as he comes to terms with the fact that he has limited time left.
