Billy drunkenly freezes to his core after confessing to making a move on Todd in Corrie

When Bernie finds him, is she too late?

2-8 NOVEMBER

Returning home, Summer finds a strange man in the flat and Billy admits he invited Wayne back after meeting him at the addicts group.

The following day, a depressed Billy confides in Summer that he’s not sure he can face today’s celebrations and knocks back a whisky before heading to the pub. But as everyone watches as Paul’s ashes are released, the screen suddenly goes blank.

Having pulled the lead out of the laptop, a drunk and emotional Billy declares it a farce and confesses he made a pass at Todd after Paul’s funeral.

Drinking behind the factory in the bitter cold, Billy listens to voice clips of Paul. Finally his phone battery dies and Billy closes his eyes in a drunken stupor and drifts away.

As we fear the worst, Bernie heads out into the night to look for Billy. Finding him frozen to the core, is she too late?
