Coronation Street: Paul gets an upsetting prognosis

Recently in Coronation Street, Izzy encouraged Paul to be honest about his MND on his Personal Independence Payment assessment or he’d miss out on support.

After speaking to Izzy, Paul spoke to his speech therapist about his coughing fits. The therapist then advised him to speak to his MND nurse.

Good news arrived as Billy found out that his suspension was being lifted. However, this happy moment was soon tainted.

During a hospital appointment, the MND nurse gave Paul a bleak prognosis. He only has around 6-12 months left to live.

Paul set for further heartbreak amid his last Christmas?

With Paul realising that he’ll be experiencing his last Christmas this year, his family will want to make it memorable.

However, Coronation Street producer Iain MacLeod has now revealed that Paul could suffer further heartbreak as Bernie risks not being there over the festive period. Instead, she might be banged up in prison.

Speaking to Entertainment Daily! and other media, Iain revealed: “This Christmas, the catastrophe arises from Bernie and her historical involvement with Shelly’s slightly dubious online scamming and it puts her in a massive amount of legal hot water.

“There’s every likelihood that she’s not going to be present for what will be Paul’s last Christmas.

“The family might not actually get to be together for this one last festive moment.”

But, will Paul’s last Christmas cause him further heartbreak? Will Bernie miss spending Christmas with her dying son?
