Coronation Street: Paul covers up his latest health scare
Coronation Street Paul Foreman sends a warning to brother Kit Green ahead of his death on the ITV soap.
Fans will know that Paul’s (Peter Ash) time is running out, following his diagnosis of motor neurone disease last year. Since then, his health has been rapidly declining over recent months, with doctors telling him he doesn't have long left.
In upcoming episodes, the moment will come when his family, including partner Billy Mayhew (played by Daniel Brocklebank) and mum Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) must say their goodbyes.
As time runs out, Billy is desperate to make every second count. However, will he manage to say goodbye in time when Paul is rushed to the hospital while being cared for by his mum Bernie and Summer (Harriet Bibby)?
It's thought that these will be Paul's final moments as he loses his fight with the disease.

However, in a teaser clip for Friday’s episode (September 6) Paul’s brother Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) arrives at his flat to spend time with him. Paul then uses his machine to tell Kit "don't mention coughing."
After a short pause, Kit says: "I should say something shouldn't I? In case it happens again. Paul says: "No" to which Kit asks: "You're worried Billy will know and he'll come home."
Paul responds: "Yes.” Kit then agrees: "You're the boss. It was good spending the afternoon with you, bro and I do wish I'd met you sooner. You and Gemma.”

Paul adds: "Won't be long now." Before leaving the flat, Kit says: "Well, how about I'll spend as much time with you as I can. Make up for what we lost. See you tomorrow, bro."
Speaking about Paul’s death, actor Peter told Inside Soap: “They're really emotional scenes, coming to the end of Paul's story." He continued: "We've been slowly preparing for a year and a half, since we started this story, knowing that it was building up to this.”
Peter also added: “I feel so proud to have been part of this storyline, that's managed to raise awareness for such a cruel disease. I'm just eternally grateful to be part of that."
Coronation Street airs Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8pm on ITV1 and ITVX
