Coronation Street: Fuming Paul puts Amy’s career at risk

As the week kicks off Paul is waiting for a cab to take him and Bernie to his radio interview. However, the car isn’t big enough for Paul’s wheelchair and he is left furious at the driver’s rude and dismissive behaviour.

As Amy interviews Paul on her radio show, he talks passionately about his MND and society’s lack of regard for disability. But he gets carried away and swears, live on air. Could this be the end of Amy’s radio presenting career?

Paul’s dad arrives on the scene

After the interview, a man approaches Bernie outside the cafe. He tells her that he heard Paul on the radio – and didn’t realise his son was dying.

Hiding her shock, Bernie pretends that Paul’s already dead and the interview was a recording.

Not believing her, Denny follows her up to the flat. There he finds Gemma and Paul, who are shocked to see their dad.

Denny puts Paul in danger

Later, Bernie rants to Dev about Denny – worried that Denny might dredge up her murky past. Meanwhile, Billy reminds Paul that Denny isn’t to be trusted, recalling how his father used to knock him about when he was a kid.

When Paul invites Denny over to watch a film, Billy reluctantly leaves them to it. Denny then nips out for ice cream, leaving Paul alone in the flat.
