Shock Coronation Street Exit as Beloved Character Faces Prison

Paul Foreman's Final Christmas in Jeopardy

Coronation Street fans are in for a heart-wrenching storyline as beloved character Paul Foreman faces a devastating blow just before Christmas. The builder, played by Peter Ash, has been battling motor neurone disease (MND) and only has a few months left to live. However, his plans to celebrate one last Christmas surrounded by loved ones are shattered when his mother, Bernie Winter, is sentenced to prison.

Family Devastated as Bernie Faces Prison

The Winter-Browns are left reeling when Paul's mother, Bernie Winter, played by Jane Hazlegrove, receives a three-month prison sentence. Bernie's involvement in a scheme to handle stolen goods to help her financially struggling son backfires, leading to her incarceration. The family is devastated as they realize Bernie will miss out on Paul's final Christmas.

Hope for Bernie's Release?

Though Bernie's sentence is only three months, she is required to serve at least half of it. This leaves Paul and his sister, Gemma, played by Dolly-Rose Campbell, worried about Bernie's absence during their last moments together. Speculation among viewers suggests Bernie may attempt to escape in order to be there for Paul's final days.

Trouble for Gemma

In addition to Bernie's predicament, Gemma finds herself in hot water when she is accused of poisoning Joseph Brown, a child in her care. Child protection officer Caitlin shows up at Gemma's door, leaving her shocked and potentially facing serious repercussions.

Airing Schedule

Coronation Street airs every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8pm on ITV.
