Paul Foreman makes desperate decision as he collapses in Coronation Street | The Sun
DIAGNOSED with motor neurone disease (MND), Paul Foreman is trying to make the most of the time he has left to live.
But as his health deteriorates, the builder played by Peter Ash makes a big decision after a fall next week in Coronation Street.
Paul kept his devastating diagnosis a secret from the people closest to him for several weeks.
But when his partner Billy Mayhew (portrayed by Daniel Brocklebank) found out he had been diagnosed with MND, Paul knew it was time for him to come clean to his family.
He finally revealed everything to them on his sister Gemma Winter's wedding day.
Following his announcement, Billy and Paul left the cobbles for a romantic getaway as the latter remains determined to live life to the fullest before it's too late.

This prompted him to demand more information about Tofersen from his doctor and he was desperate to find out whether he could be given the treatment.
