Corrie fans outraged with Kit Green as Paul Foreman dies in heartbreaking scenes
Coronation Street fans were left heartbroken as Paul Foreman died in tragic scenes - but viewers were also left fuming with his husband Billy Mayhew's stepson Kit
Coronation Street viewers were left heartbroken on Monday (September 9) as Paul Foreman, played by Peter Ash, tragically died without his husband by his side. However, fans of the ITV soap were left seething at Kit Green.
Paul had been fighting a nearly 18-month battle with Motor Neurone Disease when his health suddenly deteriorated.
His final moments were marked by a frantic Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank), who was in a panic after misplacing his phone the previous night.
Billy was desperate to locate his mobile as it contained precious memories of his dearly loved husband Paul.
With Summer Spellman (Harriet Bibby) and Paul’s mother Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) stepping in to care for Paul, Billy set off on a mission to find his lost phone.
He and an equally worn-out David (Jack P. Shepherd) returned to the hotel together, eventually finding his damaged phone and heading to a shop for a replacement, reports the Express.
Meanwhile, back at the flat, Paul was having difficulty breathing. When Bernie realised that Paul could pass away that day, her younger son Kit Green (Jacob Roberts) quickly left to locate Billy, as they had no way of contacting him.
Summer dialled for an ambulance, but it took 15 minutes to arrive. During the agonising wait, Paul managed to whisper Billy’s name, longing to see his husband one last time.
Kit finally located Billy in a car park, but they were unable to leave due to heavy traffic caused by a broken-down vehicle.
Coronation Street fans were left questioning the actions of copper Kit after Billy failed to reach the hospital in time to say goodbye to Paul. Many took to social media to express their confusion, with one asking: “Why didn’t Kit get a police mate to take Billy and put the blues n 2s on? #Corrie.”
Others echoed this sentiment, suggesting that Kit could have used his police connections to get Billy to the hospital more quickly.
One fan wrote: “Catching up on #Corrie thought Kit woulda phoned some police friends and got Billy to hospital on the blues and twos.”
Another added: “If I was Kit I would have sorted Billy a squad car to the hospital. #Corrie.”
A fourth fan chimed in: “Could Kit not have called Craig in to get Billy to the hospital in the back of a police car? Let’s face it he’s a dodgy cop and done worse? ! #Corrie”.
