Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank revealed all on the tears on set, as the cast play out a difficult storyline following Paul Foreman's motor neurone disease diagnosis.
Paul, played by Peter Ash, learned last month that he had the condition and that he might only have three years to live, while he decided not to confide in his family or his partner Billy Mayhew.
But on Friday night, fans saw devastated Billy learn the truth about Paul's condition as he appeared in court for car theft.
