Coronation Street fans all make the same plea to Paul over MND diagnosis

Paul's keeping his diagnosis a secret

Last night in Coronation Street (Monday May 1, 2023), Dee-Dee arranged for Paul to meet up with somebody who had experienced what MND is like.

The wife of a late MND sufferer met up with Paul and told him what he could expect from his MND journey.

Now, Coronation Street fans have all made the same plea to Paul over his MND diagnosis. But, what are they asking of him?

Coronation Street: Paul met up with Trish

Last night, Dee-Dee arranged for Paul to meet up with Trish – the wife of a late MND sufferer. Paul had no idea that Dee-Dee had arranged this meeting.

At the Bistro, whilst Paul was working a shift, Dee-Dee turned up and asked him when his shift ended, explaining that there was somebody she wanted him to meet.

At the flat, Dee-Dee introduced Paul to Trish. He told Dee-Dee that he wasn’t ready to speak about MND and was tempted to leave.

However, after some persuasion, Paul agreed to listen to what Trish had to say. Trish explained what Paul could expect, talking him through the decline in her husband’s health.

After his conversation with Trish, Dee-Dee begged Paul to wake up to the devastating reality of his situation and tell his loved ones the truth. Paul couldn’t face telling them.
