Coronation Street viewers have pleaded with bosses to end a storyline. Fans of the hit ITV soap have begged soap writers to allow Paul Foreman to die with dignity, following his Motor Neurone Disesase battle. The character, played by Peter Ash, was diagnosed with the condition back in 2023 and in recent months, his health has rapidly deteriorated.
Paul has now lost his ability to walk due to his muscles weakening and he was recently informed it was no longer safe for him to leave his home, which he shares with his husband Billy. Paul is also slowly losing his spark after battling the condition for over a year which has now left him using AI to talk to those around him. Paul has also contemplated euthanasia throughout his battle, adding that he wanted to die on his own accord, rather than continuing to see his health deteriorate.
But with his exit from the soap getting closer, fans believe that the storyline has been dragged out for far too long and believe Paul deserves the chance to die with dignity. Taking to social media, one fan said: "Please wind this storyline up now, I liked Paul’s character and sad to see him go but this is just getting drawn out now, call it a day." A second went on to write: "Brilliant opportunity to end it last week on a really good episode but now it feels like it's getting dragged.
" Meanwhile, a third typed: "It amazes me how long this storyline has been dragged out for. Any longer and the original script will receive a silver jubilee." Fans re.
