Coronation Street spoilers updates tease that Paul Foreman, played by Peter Ash, is expecting more devastating news. The hot-tempered resident of Corrie, who grew up poor and was abused as a child, faces more difficult news as if his life wasn’t hard, to begin with. Our boy could not catch a break.
Coronation Street Spoilers – He Was Diagnosed With MND
In a recent episode, he was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease or MND. He initially thought that the symptoms he was having were just effects of the accident he had been in. But it is MND, which is a rare condition that damages some areas of the nervous system.
MND can cause muscle weakness. One common form of MND is ALS or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. You probably heard of it because it was popularized by the Ice Bucket Challenge in the past, which is a movement to spread awareness of this disease. Stephen Hawking is one of the few personalities that suffered from this disease.
Because of the seriousness of the diagnosis, it is expected that Paul didn’t take it lightly. It is a serious illness that could literally make his life shorter.
Coronation Street Spoilers – He Was Caught By The Authorities And Could Face Jail Time
Even though we feel bad for Paul, he still does bad things. For one, he is still doing criminal activities for Damon Hay to earn more money.
But now, he was caught by the authorities stealing Rufus Donahue’s car. Worse, Rufus was also killed the same night he stole the car.
And now, he pleaded guilty to his crime. And his family still doesn’t know about his health condition. His sentencing may also fall before the wedding of his sister Gemma. And he could be in jail on the day of the wedding. He would miss an important day of his sister’s life.
Coronation Street Spoilers – Still Our Bad Boy
Apart from some of the most devastating news in his life, Paul still manages to blackmail Damon for money. He threatened to expose his illegal activities.
He has a lot of information because he worked for him on certain suspicious jobs. And out of desperation, and probably because Paul thinks he has nothing to lose, he blackmails Damon for more money.
What else could Paul possibly go through? Peter Ash talked about his character and said that when playing someone with a specific illness, it is important to make it right and portray it sensitively.
It is great that the actor has this perspective, especially at this time. Coronation Street never fails to create awareness of certain issues in society. Previously, they tackled rape, domestic abuse, stalking, and many more.
