Coronation Street's Paul Foreman has been going through some troubling health issues after being hit by a car, with doctors telling him the symptoms he has been facing are likely not the result of the accident.
Viewers have recently seen Paul, played by Peter Ash struggle to recover from injuries after being hit by a van that was driven by Carla. However he has been referred for more scans and Corrie bosses have now revealed that the character will be diagnosed with motor neurone disease in upcoming episodes of the soap.
April's episodes will see Paul given the devastating news that he has motor neurone disease (MND). Paul initially keeps the diagnosis from his partner Billy, as well as his family. The storyline will follow the progression of the disease as Paul initially deals with the illness alone and eventually has to break the news to his loved ones.
