Coronation Street star Harriet Bibby has spoken about Paul Foreman’s funeral,

confirming that the big day won’t be drama-free. Harriet’s character

Summer Spellman is among the mourners as the Weatherfield community gathers

to pay their last respects to Paul in Wednesday’s episode (October 2).

Summer was devastated last month as Paul – one of her three dads – sadly passed away following his 18-month journey living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

The show’s next episode sees Billy Mayhew lead the service as a final tribute to his late husband. However, Billy’s carefully-planned arrangements threaten to go awry when Paul’s troublesome father Denny turns up as a guest.

Harriet told us: “It was really emotional [to film]. I’ve said all along during this storyline that our characters were saying goodbye to Paul, but we were also saying goodbye to Pete [Ash, who played Paul].

“It is really emotional to watch. It’s going to be an emotional day.”

She continued: “I think Denny is known for causing a bit of trouble so you can expect it on the day, yeah!”
