Coronation Street\u2019s Paul Foreman once again fell over but fans couldn\u2019t help but point out what was wrong with the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Paul Foreman (played by Peter Ash) was diagnosed with MND (Motor Neurone Disease), an uncommon terminal illness that affects the brain and nervous system.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paul has slowly but surely lost the use of one of his hands and has been walking with a stick in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In tonight\u2019s episode, Paul was on his way to give his friend Shelly (Natalie Amber) a gospel record, leaving her a voice message to inform her he was on his way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moments later, he could no longer support himself and keeled over, and started to call for help but no one was around to assist.<\/p>\n

If only real life was like that.\u201d<\/p>\n The episode ended on an even more heartbreaking note as Paul was calling Shelly to let him know why he didn\u2019t show up.\u00a0<\/p>\n As the phone rang, fans saw paramedics entering her flat as she had stopped breathing.\u00a0<\/p>\n With Shelly playing an important role in Paul\u2019s journey, how will he cope when he finds out she has died?<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/20\/590x\/secondary\/Coronation-Street-paul-foreman-fall-fan-reaction-4962723.jpg?r=1694815066380\")
