Coronation Street set to air powerful episode devoted entirely to a day in the life of MND sufferer Paul Foreman in honour of Rob Burrows


Coronation Street is set to screen a powerful episode devoted entirely to a day in the life of MND sufferer Paul Foreman from his perspective.

The hour-long instalment of the ITV soap will take viewers on a rollercoaster of emotions as Billy Mayhew and Paul Foreman enjoy a special day together knowing each moment could be their last. 'One thing we were keen to show in this episode is that due to motor neurone disease, Paul's speech has now deteriorated to the point where he is unable to speak to his loved ones unaided by technology, that while brilliant, can be slow and restrictive.' From visiting the church where they married to tasting beer bubbles in the Rovers, viewers will hear Paul’s innermost thoughts as he comes to terms with the fact that he has limited time left (both pictured on the soap in May 2023)
