Coronation Street has confirmed fans' worst fears as Paul Foreman is set to receive a devastating diagnosis. Viewers of the ITV soap have been worried for the builder ever since he was accidentally knocked over by Carla Connor in her Underworld van after unknowingly being drugged with LSD by Stephen Reid.
Following the accident, Paul was left wearing an arm sling but fans were quick to notice something still wasn't quite right as he struggled to pick up darts in the Rovers Return before throwing one which landed in Evelyn Plummer's hat on a nearby table. Dr Gaddass assumed it was nerve damage and told him his recovery could take weeks.
However, a recent visit to the GP has prompted more tests and in scenes to air next month, viewers will see Paul diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), which is a life-shortening illness.
