Coronation Street's Billy Mayhew risks not being able to say goodbye to his husband Paul Foreman as he doesn't know he's in his 'final moments'.
It's been confirmed that Paul's death will happen in the ITV soap next week, 17 months after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
The former builder was told had had the life-shortening disease, in which messages from the motor neurones gradually stop reaching the muscles, in April 2023, shortly after being knocked over by Carla Connor in an Underworld van.
Corrie fans have since watched, often with tears in their eyes, as Paul's condition gradually deteriorates, with no cure for MND, which kills a third o people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
