Coronation Street star Peter Ash teases end of Paul and Billy after past face results in mistake

Coronation Street star Peter Ash has teased the potential end of Paul Foreman and Billy Mayhew's relationship as Paul makes a huge mistake. Viewers of the ITV soap know, have recently been watching the former builder coming to terms with being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

Paul was diagnosed with the life-limiting illness in heartbreaking scenes back in April. The character discovered the news that he had the fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, alone as he kept the news hidden from Billy and his family, only confiding in former flatmate Dee-Dee Bailey.

The truth about Paul's health, who only discovered anything was wrong after he was accidentally knocked over by Carla Connor in her Underworld van when she had been unknowingly drugged with LSD by Stephen Reid, came out when Billy headed to court to find out Paul had been stealing cars to fix his money woes, only to have his case quashed due to his life-limiting diagnosis.
