Shock romance twist for Paul Foreman in Coronation Street
PAUL Foreman’s love life has been at a standstill as he’s mostly focused on looking out for daughter figure Summer Spellman.
Romance is back in the cards for the Coronation Street builder when another resident confesses their feelings.
Three years have passed since Paul found himself in the streets after being thrown out of his home by Billy Mayhew.
After falling victim to Todd Grimshaw’s machinations, the vicar played by Daniel Brocklebank was convinced Paul (Peter Ash) was up to no good.
This was despite the builder becoming a father figure to his teen ward, Summer, and making a new life for himself following his long stay in prison.
Although there could have been hard feelings, it seems to have all become water under the bridge for Paul who has remained a constant presence in Summer’s life following his breakup with Billy.
Paul picked himself back up, moving in to the corner shop flat with Dee-Dee Bailey (Channique Sterling-Brown).
Coming up next week on ITV, Dee-Dee tells her flatmate Paul they’re having a night out on the town later that same day.
Summer (Harriet Bibby) then reveals she’s had a conditional offer from Manchester University after failing to secure herself a spot at Oxford.
Paul agrees to meeting up with Billy for drinks later on, despite his promise to Dee-Dee.
He then suggests to her they meet in the Rovers rather than go into town – which she accepts.
Once in the pub, Dee-Dee witters on at Paul about her love life and Billy walks in, leaving Paul’s face to light up.
The vicar confides in Billy how appalled he was with Todd’s show of violence towards Mike Hargrave and Paul masks his guilt… knowing the undertaker actually took the fall for him.
In later scenes, Paul is surprised to see Billy at the builder’s yard but gets another bombshell immediately after.
Billy confesses his feelings for Paul.
However, Paul quickly asserts that it’s better for them to just remain friends.
But could an accident change everything?
