Coronation Street fans uncover Paul star's 'manifesting' as he delights co-stars with throwback snap

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Fans think Peter Ash may have 'manifested' his role on Coronation Street after he shared a throwback snap on social media. The actor joined the ITV soap as Paul Foreman in January 2019, when he arrived in Weatherfield looking for his sister, Gemma.

But that wasn't the character's first appearance. Paul was first introduced to Corrie viewers when he shared a prison cell with David Platt back in May 2018.

However, it wasn't his first TV role as Peter appeared in Footballers' Wives as soon as he finished his A-Levels aged 17, playing Darius Fry between 2003 and 2006, alongside fellow Corrie star Ben Price, who plays Nick Tilsley, as Conrad Gates.

The show has been working with the MND Association to tell the story after Paul was diagnosed with the life-limiting illness, which doesn't yet have a cure, last year.
