This article contains spoilers for tonight’s Coronation Street, which has not yet aired on TV but is available to watch now on ITVX.

Billy Mayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) was in a dangerous situation in tonight’s Coronation Street after collapsing in a drunken stupor outside the factory.

The vicar got drunk at Paul Foreman’s (Peter Ash) ashes launch, and made a scene in front of the whole pub by declaring the event a farce and confessing to kissing Todd Grimshaw (Gareth Pierce) after Paul’s funeral.

Paul died from motor neurone disease in September, but tonight saw him miraculously return to save Billy from hyperthermia.

In his drunken state, Billy hallucinated Paul, who did his best to encourage Billy not to give up.

However Billy was pretty adamant that he wanted to succumb to the cold and be with Paul again.

Paul insisted that he didn’t want that, and also made it clear that he forgave him for kissing Todd.

He pointed out that this was Billy’s chance to say his goodbyes, after missing out on the opportunity when Paul was in hospital.

However, Billy pointed out that he didn’t want to have to say goodbye, and instead drifted off to sleep.

Elsewhere, Bernie Winter (Jane Hazlegrove) woke up from a dream about Paul.

This, and a message from Todd, spurred her to go back out looking for Billy, and she was certain she knew where he would be.

It didn’t take her long to find him and rally the family to get him home safe and warmed up.

After the paramedic had confirmed that Billy was well, the family asked how Bernie had known where he was.

In a shocking twist, she revealed that Paul had come to her in her dream, so she knew where to find Billy.

Waking up the next morning, Billy and Bernie shared their stories of their encounters with Paul, with Billy revealing that he no longer wanted to die.

As it started raining, the pair headed outside to say a final goodbye to Paul, and celebrate him being at peace.
