Coronation Street cast members have been spotted filming emotional funeral scenes for the character of Lesley Kershaw.

Tony Hirst, who plays Lesley's husband Paul, and Weatherfield regular Sue Cleaver (Eileen Grimshaw) shot scenes on location at a crematorium in Manchester for the upcoming storyline development, The Sun reports.

Over the past few months, Coronation Street viewers have seen Eileen grow close to fireman Paul, who has struggled under the pressure of his wife's early-onset Alzheimer's disease.

The plot recently came to a head as Paul agreed to move Lesley (Judy Holt) into a care home for a trial period, having finally conceded that he was finding it too difficult to look after her.

While Eileen and Paul have developed romantic feelings for each other, their relationship has sparked mixed feelings on the street due to the complicated situation.

As Paul will soon have to say a heartbreaking final farewell to his wife, viewers will be left to wonder whether he now has a long-term future with Eileen.

The Alzheimer's Society last year praised Coronation Street bosses for tackling the sensitive issue, which was researched by producers and cast throughout the filming process.

How convenient.

[Kizzy]

Yes....Hmmm

[Mrluvaluva]

I assume he will be riddled with guilt which may affect his and Eileen's relationship.

[Black Dagger]

No

Lesley is great.

[Scarlett.]

I'm guessing there is some sort of accident following her attack of Eileen

I doubt The Alzheimer's Society will still be happy that they're just killing her off because they've ran out of ideas with her Anyway I'll be glad to see her gone.

They've been posting blogs about it, we'll see what their reaction is lol

I thought her character was brilliant, shes made me laugh a fair bit.
Woulda been better if Eileen and Paul were related and not romantic.

[Scarlett.]

Hopefully it will cause trouble for their relationship

thats very sad and i think thats a bad thing for corri to do - and will spread fear into people going through the same sorts of decisions about putting family in care.

I reckon it will happen when Paul brings her back home for a while
