Coronation Street spoilers follow.
Coronation Street has revealed that villain Denny plans to steal from his son Paul following his hospitalisation.
Denny reappeared earlier this week pretending he wanted to make up for lost time with son Paul, only to threaten Bernie with a dark secret if she got in his way.
Friday’s (May 3) episode saw Bernie considering opening up to Dev about her fears that Denny would reveal secrets from her past.
He would eventually find Bernie rifling through an old box of photos, but her caginess over the whole matter left him suspicious.
Meanwhile, Billy was equally sceptical about Paul letting his father back into his life, since Denny had physically abused Paul as a child.
Paul disregarded his husband and family’s reservations by inviting Denny to come around and watch a film. This turned out to be a major mistake as Denny soon went out to get ice cream, leaving Paul all alone.
Denny bumped into Gemma on the Street and they argued about their own estrangement, while Paul started to have a coughing fit as he remained all alone.
Paul tried to call for an ambulance but passed out before he could speak to the operator. Denny would arrive back at the flat to find Paul barely conscious.
