Coronation Street's Paul Foreman was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) at the beginning of 2023 on the ITV soap and since then, has been gradually coming to terms with his symptoms.

Paul initially decided the best idea would be to keep his diagnosis hidden from his family, but since revealing the heartbreaking truth he has received plenty of love and support reports OK!.His loved ones have done everything they can to ensure his life isn't impacted too much by his symptoms and want him to enjoy the time he has left.But in true Corrie fashion, the Bernie/Winter household will be chaos over the festive period and Paul could end up spending his final Christmas without his mum there.Bernie Winter will be caught up in scams and schemes which could mean she's prevented from being around her family.Teasing Paul's emotional final Christmas, Iain told the OK!: "The challenge with the story we're doing with Paul is there's this inevitable medical progression and we're taking care to show that in as much detail as we can."As a soap we're in a position to be able to do that.

We're not a 90 minute drama where we have to fit in a two year decline, you can show the day to day decline with an illness like that with Paul."But you do also need a story on top of that so we're always very keen to keep that family busy so the medical story is always going on, and like we all have to do when we're ill, contend with catastrophes that are nothing to do with the illness at all."This Christmas the catastrophe arises from Bernie and her historical involvement with Shelley's slightly dubious online scamming and it puts her in a massive amount of legal hot water to the extent that there's every likelihood she won't be present for what will
