This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.
Coronation Street aired a shock twist in recent scenes when Paul Foreman (Peter Ash) appeared, despite having been killed off in September.
Paul died after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease, and tonight’s episode saw his family say a final goodbye as his ashes were launched into space.
Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) had come up with the idea to send Paul’s ashes into space – something that Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) thought was tacky.
As Paul’s friends and family gathered to watch the video of his final ascent, drunk Billy switched off the film and declared the whole thing a farce.
He then confessed to kissing Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) on the day of Paul’s funeral, which left Gemma Winter (Dolly-Rose Campbell) horrified.
Devastated Billy then took himself off, leaving his family concerned for his whereabouts.
As Bernie quizzed Todd on the happenings of the night of Paul’s funeral, he expressed his concern for Billy’s wellbeing, and the pair decided to head out and look for him.
