In the latest episode of Coronation Street, fans of the ITV soap watched Shelly Rossington (played by Natalie Amber) lose her battle to MND.<\/p>\n
Over the past few weeks, viewers have seen the newcomer develop a close friendship with Paul Foreman (Peter Ash).<\/p>\n
The duo met at a Motor Neurone Disease support group and with her condition at a further stage than his, Shelly gave him an insight into what he could expect down the line.<\/p>\n
On Friday night, Paul had planned to pay Shelly a visit at her flat to give her a gift and reveal he was going to end the scam she had started with his mum Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove).<\/p>\n
However, on his way over he ended up taking a fall and was left shaken when he was unable to get back up.<\/p>\n
