Peter Ash took to social media took to social media with excitement to celebrate a major milestone following his exit in September.
Peter Ash made a surprise appearance on Coronation Street, bringing his late character, Paul Foreman, back to life in a heartfelt scene with his on-screen partner, Billy Mayhew (played by Daniel Brocklebank).
