Coronation Street's Paul Foreman faces emotional decisions as Motor Neurone Disease progresses
manchestereveningnews.co.ukPaul Foreman faces some emotional decisions in Coronation Street next week. Viewers are currently watching the character facing the progression of his Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
The former builder discovered the heartbreaking news that he had the fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, in scenes aired in April.
Paul, who only discovered anything was wrong after he was accidentally knocked over by Carla Connor in her Underworld van when she had been unknowingly drugged with LSD by Stephen Reid, kept the news from his loved ones, only confiding in his friend and former flatmate Dee-Dee Bailey.
The devastating news, however, came spilling out on his sister Gemma Winter's wedding day after his partner Billy Mayhew only made the discovery himself when he headed to court to find out Paul had been stealing cars to fix his money woes, only to have his case quashed due to his life-limiting diagnosis.
