Coronation Street character Paul is reportedly ‘going to hit rock bottom’ as his and Billy’s relationship is ‘tested’.
Paul is in a relationship with vicar Billy Mayhew. Currently Billy is helping Sean find Todd Grimshaw, who went on the run in 2o17.
However Billy and Todd were previously together and, when he fled, he left Billy behind.
But it looks like things could be about to take a bad turn for Paul.
A source told The Sun: “Paul hits the bottle in a bad way and no one can get through to him.
“He spends his days surrounded by empty cans and his own thoughts.
“It’s going to be a real test of his relationship with Billy to see if they can get through it.
“And Todd’s return won’t help matters.”

This left Billy, Sean and Mary wondering why he hasn’t returned.

However Bruno Langley, who played Todd on and off from 2001 until 2017, will not be returning to the role.
Instead Todd will be played by actor Gareth Pierce.
