In a shocking turn of events, Denny leaves Paul vulnerable and alone, leading to a life-threatening situation on the iconic soap
Coronation Street‘s latest episodes throw viewers into the midst of a gripping family drama, featuring Denny’s return and a perilous situation for his son Paul. The storyline unfolds with Denny’s dark intentions coming to light, as he manipulates those around him to execute a sinister plan.
Earlier this week, Denny deceitfully re-entered Paul’s life, feigning a desire to mend their strained relationship. However, his true motive quickly surfaced when he coerced Bernie with a veiled threat linked to her past, ensuring she remained silent.
In the episode aired on Friday, tension escalated when Bernie nearly confided her fears about Denny to Dev, troubled by the potential exposure of her secrets. Meanwhile, Denny’s brief encounter with Bernie sifting through old photographs only deepened his resolve to manipulate her.
Simultaneously, Paul’s decision to welcome his estranged father back into his home backfired disastrously. Ignoring warnings from his husband Billy and other family members about Denny’s abusive history, Paul invited him over for a movie night. This turned sour when Denny stepped out under the pretense of buying ice cream, leaving Paul alone during a severe coughing fit.
Paul’s condition worsened quickly, leading him to faint while attempting to call for an ambulance. Denny’s indifference was apparent when he returned to find Paul unconscious and chose not to accompany him to the hospital immediately.
At the hospital, the situation grew more tense. Gemma, witnessing Denny’s lack of concern, insisted he join them at the hospital. There, it was revealed that Paul had developed aspiration pneumonia. Denny’s manipulation continued as he shifted blame onto Bernie, accusing her of causing Paul’s motor neurone disease (MND) due to her past drug use.
Paul, struggling to speak, confronted his father about his behavior towards Bernie. However, Denny was undeterred, making a secretive phone call to arrange the sale of Paul’s custom-made wheelchair, further revealing his callous nature.
The question remains: will Denny succeed in his malicious schemes?
