Paul Foreman received some upsetting news from his speech therapist in last night’s episode of Coronation Street (Monday, March 25).
He was told that he needed to start using a feeding tube as there was a risk of choking on solid food otherwise.
Corrie fans have now taken to social media to praise actor Peter Ash on his performance.
Coronation Street: Paul needs a feeding tube
Yesterday evening, Summer booked her flights to Boston as she prepared to study over in America for a few months.
To celebrate, Billy agreed to cook a roast dinner for the family as Bernie took Paul to his speech therapy appointment.
However, at his appointment, Paul was told that he might need to start using a feeding tube. In the meantime, he would need to consume only pureed foods from now on.
He was devastated as he revealed the news to his family, despite trying to put on a brave face.
He was adamant that he still wanted the roast though, with Billy turning it into a puree.
The taste of the meal was disgusting though but Bernie managed to save it by mixing up a bit of apple pie in with it.
Paul then teared up as the plates were cleared away, struggling to process this new way of consuming food.
