After telling his friends and family, Bernie (Jane Halzegrove) and Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) organized a charity event to raise funds for Paul. While Paul understands that his friends are doing it because they love him and want to help in any way they can, Paul is not comfortable being the center of attention.
“Paul finds the whole thing really awkward,” Peter Ash said about his character’s feelings. “He doesn’t like feeling pitied or being the centre of attention at something like this. He does understand that everyone’s doing it because they want to help and they love him, but he doesn’t feel right about it.”
Worse, “it does remind of what he’s been dealt, and the fact that he might not be there that much longer.”
