Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has shared that viewers will see 'real tears' on-screen as Billy Mayhew discovers the truth about Paul Foreman's Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis.
Last month, fans of the ITV soap saw Paul receive the devastating news that he has the fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, after initially thinking he had a prolonged injury from accidentally being knocked down by Carla Connor in the Underworld van.
Since getting his diagnosis, Paul kept the news from his loved ones, only confiding in his friend and former flatmate Dee-Dee Bailey and went to desperate measures to try and fix his money woes without being able to work and promising to help his twin sister Gemma Winter pay for her dream wedding.
