“Bring on the relax, sunshine and much needed sleep!”
Coronation Street star Daniel Brocklebank has enjoyed a holiday following the tragic Paul Foreman storyline.
The star’s character Billy Mayhew lost husband Paul in scenes last week amid his Motor Neurone Disease (MND) storyline.
In the heartbreaking scenes, Billy was unable to say goodbye to his husband in person as Paul’s health took a turn for the worse while his husband was out with friends and he lost his phone.
Saying his final goodbyes over the phone, Paul’s mother Bernie didn’t inform Billy that Paul had already died.
Following the difficult storyline, Daniel has been enjoying a break in the Caribbean, the star sharing a selfie from the exotic location.
“It appears that I’ve awoken in the Caribbean!!! Bring on the relax, sunshine and much needed sleep!” he captioned the post.
In a follow-up picture of his feet on a beach, Daniel wrote: “Perfection.”
Paul actor Peter Ash wrote in the comments: “Looks amazing! Enjoy your well-deserved rest, buddy!”
Daniel recently opened up about filming Paul’s “harrowing” final scenes, noting that they have “been building up to this moment for 18 months”.
“When we got the scripts for those final episodes, it was like: ‘We’re here’. It had felt so far ahead in the future when we were initially pitched the storyline,” he said.
“We shot everything pretty much chronologically. The scene where Billy arrives and holds onto Paul was Pete’s [Peter Ash, who played Paul] last scene. So we knew that once that moment happened, he’d be leaving.”
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
