In Coronation Street, Paul was celebrated through his funeral in last night’s episode (Wednesday, October 2), but fans were left disappointed.
The event saw an emotional Joseph head over to Fiz’s beforehand, while Billy confessed to Summer he was nervous to mess up the service.
Despite this, several said the funeral was lacking and not an appropriate way to mark Paul’s life.

Coronation Street: Paul Foreman’s death
The funeral marked the end of an emotional storyline which saw Paul battle with a diagnosis of motor neurone disease.
At the end of his life, Bernie Winter and Summer were with Paul when his health took a sudden turn and his breathing became laboured.
The pair called for an ambulance and Paul was rushed to the hospital where Bernie, Summer and Gemma were soon told by doctors there was nothing more they could do.
The trio rushed in to say their emotional goodbyes to Paul, but Billy was far away from the hospital trying to make his way back.
He was too late and Paul took his final breath. After he passed, Bernie lied and said he was alive while Billy was on the phone giving his final message.
A few weeks of debates over what type of funeral the family wanted later, they settled on a church service with a rave a few days later organised by Bernie.
