Coronation Street spoilers as ambulance called for Roy, Paul discovers fate and birthday party 'blows up'

Paul Foreman will discover if he's set to spend the time he has left behind bars in next week's Coronation Street. His partner Billy Mayhew and his family are completely unaware that the former builder has been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease and went to extreme lengths to keep his money worries from them.

Chesney lies that he’s sorted the flowers and the sound system for his and Gemma's upcoming wedding by calling in a couple of favours from some old mates and elsewhere, Paul tells Dee-Dee how he’s come across a new drug on the internet which claims to cure MND.

Hopeful, he visits the MND clinic hoping to discuss the new drug but without success. Rita suggests that Gemma has a joint stag and hen do with Chesney to cut costs and she offers to put some cash behind the bar.

But soon Paul realises there’s something wrong with his right foot but hides it from Billy. Gemma asks Paul if he’ll give her away at the wedding and he agrees to. When Jenny talks through the plans for the stag and hen do with Paul she notices he’s struggling with his right foot.

Later, Dee-Dee accompanies Paul to his appointment with the MND nurse and Paul begs the nurse to consider him for Tofersen treatment, convinced it’s the answer to his prayers. Meanwhile, Billy urges Paul to apologise to Gemma but Paul refuses to discuss it. Billy confides in Dee-Dee how worried he is about Paul and demands to know what’s going on.

Then, outside the court, Dee-Dee wonders where Paul has got to. Damon finds Paul sitting alone in Victoria Garden. Damon urges Paul to do the right thing, get himself down to court and embrace the life he has left. Paul finally arrives at court and Dee-Dee’s awash with relief. Unbeknown to Paul, Billy too heads into the courthouse.

Elsewhere, there's more concern for Roy Cropper. It's been a few weeks since we last saw the much-loved Weatherfield resident visit the doctor with concerns and when Nina Lucas reveals that Roy’s nervous of taking Freddie for a walk, Evelyn Plummer offers to accompany him.

Roy and Evelyn set off on their dog walk but Roy suffers terrible chest pains. Evelyn urges him to chase up his appointment with the heart specialist. Later, as Roy walks Freddie through the precinct, Freddie spies a cat and gives chase. Roy is brought up short by the pain in his chest. Evelyn calls an ambulance.

Meanwhile, Eliza’s belated birthday party gets underway in Speed Daal. Promising Eliza a surprise, Roy and Sam wow the party guests with a science display. However a jealous Hope slyly sabotages the science experiment, and as it bursts into huge flames, Yasmeen grabs the fire extinguisher.

And there are more goodbyes next week when Faye Windass finally decides to leave with her ex Jackson Hodge and their daughter Miley. At the start of the week, Craig Tinker assures Faye that he would never report her to the police and he goes on to suggest they should buy a flat together and set a date for the wedding.

Later, when Tim Metcalfe admits how relieved he is that she chose Craig, Faye feels more trapped than ever. Jackson and Miley invite Faye for a last family outing before they leave but she can't face it. Instead, she breaks down to Gary and admits that she wants to be with Jackson, but she can’t leave Craig because he knows something that could land her back in prison.

Faye is soon telling Craig that Jackson and Miley will be calling round to take some photos before they leave for Slough. As Faye, Craig, Jackson, Miley, Tim and Sally pose for family photos, Miley explains how she plans to put together an album to remember them by.

Faye does her best to keep a lid on her emotions but Craig can see she’s deeply upset. Craig tells Faye that if she wants to go with Jackson and Miley to Slough then she should do it and with her case packed, Faye approaches the car; her decision is made. As the car pulls away, Craig watches, heartbroken.

After Faye's long gone, Craig calls at the factory with some work bits and bobs which Faye left behind. Sally feels for him and suggests he joins them at No.4 later as she’s doing a Mexican supper. At No.4, Sally does her best to cheer up Tim and Craig and suggests they find a common hobby to take their minds off Faye.
