Coronation Street fans 'not ready' as they say same thing about Paul Foreman star

Coronation Street fans have said they are 'not ready' as they're left sharing the same thoughts on Paul Foreman star Peter Ash. The actor was seen during the latest trip to Weatherfield as Paul continues to navigate life with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

Former builder Paul was told of the life-shortening disease, in which messages from the motor neurones gradually stop reaching the muscles, last April with there currently being no cure.

Then earlier this year, fans of the ITV soap saw Paul's husband Billy Mayhew discover what Paul had been secretly planning after watching the heartbreaking moment Paul suggested to Todd Grimshaw that he wanted to make the choice when his life should come to an end as his symptoms caused by the life-limiting disease progress.

After his initial reluctance to agree to Paul's plan, Billy, in the end, vowed to be there for his husband and help him when he decides the time has come for him to end his own life. The couple have since been going about their business, both knowingly hiding a secret, along with Todd and Summer Spellman who was also informed of the tragic plan ahead of her trip to America.

Since then, Paul's health has continued to deteriorate and during Monday night's (June 10) Corrie, the much-loved character was seen attending an appointment alongside Billy with the MND nurse, who tells them that as his weakened neck muscles get worse he won't be able to use his stair lift currently being used to get him in and out of the flat.

While sitting in the hospital, a heartbroken Paul realised he may be facing the rest of his life indoors and once back on the street, he and Billy were seen sitting in Vitoria Garden when it started to rain. Despite the turn in weather, Paul wanted to soak it all in as he emotionally said: "I just want to make the most of it, whilst I still can."

It left Corrie fans saying they're 'not ready' for Paul's unavoidable early death but heaped praise on Peter's portrayal. @kristen.stewart.moments said: "Peter Ash has been amazing. I’m going to miss him." @dee381456 wrote: "So so sad but what a brilliant actor that plays Paul."

@pjv_theoutcast noted: "He is such a great actor and it is getting so close to the end for poor Paul." @joshuagoulden5 posted: "Poor Paul. It's a cruel illness! He plays his part really well. Such a really good actor. @johnny33m added: "Peter Ash's performance as Paul is brilliant as it is painful and heart-shattering. Coronation Street and Peter must be congratulated for telling this story that educates , enlightens and respects people who are dealing with this illness."
