Coronation Street's Heart-Wrenching Farewell to Paul Foreman
Coronation Street's Heartfelt Drama
Coronation Street aired a final tragic twist for Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman in Monday's episode (September 9). The latest visit to the cobbles saw Billy miss his chance to say goodbye to his beloved husband, who'd been living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) over the past 18 months. After a drunken night out with his friends, which had given him i some much-needed respite, Billy realised that he'd lost his phone and went on a mission to retrieve it. While Billy was out, Paul's health took a sudden turn for the worse and he was rushed off to hospital. Unable to make it there on time, Billy said his final goodbyes to his husband over the phone, with Paul's mum Bernie deliberately keeping quiet about how he'd already passed away.
