What will happen to Paul as he gets entangled with gangster Damon? (Picture: ITV)
Tonight’s Coronation Street scenes could have consequences for Damon Hay (Ciaran Griffiths) and Paul Foreman (Peter Ash).
Paul’s bid to blackmail Damon into giving him £25,000 – as he grapples with his motor-neurone disease diagnosis and begins to stress about money – goes awry.
Damon tells Paul he’ll get the cash to keep him quiet about Niall, so Paul heads off with Bernie (Jane Hazlegrove) and sister Gemma (Dolly-Rose Campbell) to look at wedding dresses.
He gets caught snapping photos of Gemma’s dream dress, hoping the women in the factory can create a cheaper version.
Alas, he gets caught.
And when Paul later goes to meet Damon, he soon finds out that the gangster hasn’t got the cash – and that Niall’s not happy, either.
The duo are out of blood… but Damon has a change of heart, and tells Paul to scarper ASAP.
But will he get away fast enough?
