Coronation Street actor Peter Ash has discussed his character Paul Foreman’s tragic death

He explained: “It was hard to not get emotional during the final scene with all the beautiful goodbyes and to pretend not to hear it pretty much. When he does pass, trying not to breathe at all [was] tricky after a while but it is a beautiful scene and a beautiful way to end it, without giving anything away.

“It was great to have all my favourites there for my last scene.” He went on: “It’s not sunk in for me yet, I’ve still been in the building and I see Dan, Jane and everyone. I said it probably wouldn’t sink in until I’d seen my final episode. You’ll have to ask me in a few days.

“It was very odd watching it. I’ve never played a TV character who has died, so that was a strange one but I’m sure it will start to kick in now. It was very odd. We rarely see episodes before they air, but it was really odd.”
