This is going to be so emotional 😢😢 coronationstreet
Coronation Street actor Peter Ash is set to be at the centre of a motor neurone disease storyline and has shared his determination to "get it right"
MND is a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, attacking the nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work and currently, it has no cure, the MND Association said. Talking about portraying the physical effects of the illness, 38-year-old Peter said: “I’ve been eased into it.
He later added: “Especially when you’re playing a character with an illness or a condition, there’s so much responsibility to get it right, not to cheapen it and to represent it properly. “I’ll be sad to leave the show, it’s been an amazing job, I’ve met fantastic people. But also at the same time, happy to be involved in such a powerful storyline that hopefully will bring awareness,” he said.
The 43-year-old actor, whose grandfather died of MND 20 years ago, said his own experiences of the disease will directly translate into his acting.
