Coronation Street’s Paul Foreman, played by Peter Ash, issues a stern warning to his brother Kit Green in the lead up to his tragic exit from the ITV soap.
Fans are aware that Paul’s days are numbered after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease last year, which has seen his health deteriorate rapidly. Doctors have warned him that he doesn’t have much time left.
In forthcoming episodes, the heartbreaking moment arrives when his loved ones, including partner Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) and mother Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove), must bid their farewells. As the clock ticks down, Billy is desperate to make every moment count.
But will he manage to say his goodbyes in time as Paul is rushed to hospital while under the care of his mum Bernie and Summer (Harriet Bibby)? It’s believed these will be Paul’s final moments after his brave battle with MND.
However, in a sneak peek of Friday’s episode (September 6), Paul’s brother Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) visits his flat to spend some quality time with him, reports the Express.
Using his machine, Paul tells Kit “don’t mention coughing.” After a brief pause, Kit says: “I should say something shouldn’t I? In case it happens again. Paul says: ” Paul responds with a firm “No”, leading Kit to ask: “You’re worried Billy will know and he’ll come home.”
To which Paul confirms: “Yes.” Kit then concedes: “You’re the boss. It was good spending the afternoon with you, bro and I do wish I’d met you sooner. You and Gemma.”
Paul teases with a hint of mystery: “Won’t be long now.” Kit, before exiting the flat, promises: “Well, how about I’ll spend as much time with you as I can. Make up for what we lost. See you tomorrow, bro.”
Actor Peter, discussing the emotional departure of his character Paul, told Inside Soap: “They’re really emotional scenes, coming to the end of Paul’s story.”
He elaborated on the journey: “We’ve been slowly preparing for a year and a half, since we started this story, knowing that it was building up to this.”
Peter also expressed his pride in being part of the narrative: “I feel so proud to have been part of this storyline, that’s managed to raise awareness for such a cruel disease. I’m just eternally grateful to be part of that.”
