Speaking recently about the storyline, Bernie actress Jane Hazlegrove said of how Paul's diagnosis changes the family dynamics: "They are struggling, but closing ranks. The Winter-Brown scrum, to use a rugby metaphor, is knuckling down.
"But sadly families like these do fall apart at times because everyone is busy asking themselves what they can do for the best, and end up forgetting about the person in the middle. We'll see some conflict between Bernie and Billy."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
