Coronation Street stars Daniel Brocklebank and Peter Ash have enjoyed a reunion, months after a heartbreaking soap storyline for their characters.
The two actors were at the centre of a hard-hitting storyline where Ash's character Paul Foreman was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), a life-shortening neurological condition.
Last October, Corrie aired Paul's final scenes after his health took a turn for the worse, with his partner Billy Mayhew unable to make it to the hospital in time to say goodbye.
This past weekend, Brocklebank and Ash delighted fans when they took to Instagram to share a smiley snap from a night out in London.

Back in 2023, Ash was told his character Paul would be involved in a major storyline that would lead to his eventual exit.
"I had mixed feelings, obviously. I'll be sad to leave the show – it's been such an amazing job and I've met fantastic people," the actor told Digital Spy at the time.
"But also, I'm quite happy to be involved in such a powerful storyline that hopefully will bring awareness to MND."
Speaking to Digital Spy at an Inside Soap nominations awards photoshoot in the weeks before Paul's final scenes aired, Ash said that he was "so proud to have been part of this storyline, that's managed to raise awareness for such a cruel disease.
"I'm just eternally grateful to be part of that."
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8pm on ITV1 and streams on ITVX.
