But the walls closed in around Kel after Bernie, who was dating Kel, and Gemma stumbled across old pictures of Paul along with other children in Kel’s flat.
Paul then finally opened up to his family after years of being scared into silence about the abuse Kel had put him through.
Next week’s episodes of Coronation Street will see Billy and Paul call the police station to find out if the cadaver found in the river belonged to Kel.
When Billy tells Paul about the body - and that he thinks it might be Kel’s - Paul is distraught and storms out.
Later, Billy finds Paul drinking in Victoria Gardens and after quizzing him about his feelings, realises that Paul isn’t coping with the news.
Bernie, meanwhile, is delighted that Kel is dead.
Later, a police officer calls round and confirms that the body was indeed that of Kel.
The police officer also asks Kel a series of questions and when Paul says he’s not surprised Kel was murdered, the officer points out that he never said he was.
When Billy later quizzes Paul about whether he had anything to do with Kel’s murder, Paul becomes defensive.
Craig calls at the flower shop and reveals that they’re not looking for anyone in connection to Kel’s death as it was accidental.
Paul watches Billy’s reaction, and is hurt to realise that Billy genuinely thought he’d murdered Kel.
