Coronation Street viewers were left sobbing on Friday night over an emotional episode dedicated to Paul Foreman amid his motor neurone disease (MND) diagnosis
Paul was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) last year leaving him distraught. He kept his diagnosis a secret for some time but eventually told Billy Mayhew and those close to him what he was going through. Only recently, things have deteriorated for the cobbles favourite and Friday’s episode aired a powerful episode devoted entirely to a day in the life of Paul from his perspective.
The emotional episode was also dedicated to the memory of Rugby League legend Rob Burrow, who died from motor neurone disease (MND) last month. The episode saw Billy and Paul enjoy a special day together, knowing each moment could be their last, after they were told it was no longer safe for Paul to use the stair lift to leave the flat.
Friday’s episode started with Paul waking from a dream to discover his speech had drastically deteriorated and viewers then experienced the day with him through his inner thoughts and emotions in a voiceover from actor Peter Ash. Paul and Billy visited the church where they married, tasted beer bubbles in the Rovers and spent time with their families.
However, in a heartbreaking twist, Paul, who earlier this year asked Billy to help him end his life when the time comes, decided to go through with the plan. Billy was left horrified, begging his partner to change his mind, but Paul was certain. However, as the couple made devastating plans, they were interrupted by Chesney Brown, who revealed daughter Carys had an accident and they needed to go hospital.
He dropped the rest of the quads and son Joseph at the flat as he rushed to hospital with Carys and Gemma Winter. The children couldn’t sleep as they all spent time with Paul in the sitting room and the next day, as they all left to go home, Paul told his family he would see them soon. Billy picked up on this as Paul decided: “Not today”, deciding he didn’t want to say goodbye just yet.
Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: “#Corrie I’m a mess, absolutely sobbing”, a different account wrote: “Anyone else in tears?????#corrie”, another put: “#Corrie in floods of tears already”, a different viewer said: “im already in tears, this is heartbreaking for Paul #corrie”, another wrote: “Sobbing #Corrie” while a different viewer added: “I’m sobbing my heart out tonight #Corrie.”
