He has been at the centre of a hard-hitting storyline about Motor Neurone Disease (MND), learning he has months to live and considering the idea of ending his own life.

His husband Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) calls the family together for a meeting at No.5 where Paul plays them a prerecorded message telling him that he’s dying, he can’t bear anymore fighting and right now he needs his mother Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) more than ever.

Gemma Winter-Brown (Dolly-Rose Campbell) glumly reveals the landlord is sending someone to view No.5 later. On the street, Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) is stunned to see an estate agent ushering Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) inside No.5.
