Personal File:
When Terry Duckworth was in prison, Paul offered his back garden to Lisa for their son Tommy to play in. His relationship with Lisa gradually deepened until she moved in with him. Terry arranged for some roughs on the outside to beat Paul up. Vera was furious, accusing Paul of breaking up her sons marriage, but she gradually came round as both she and Paul shared a love for Tommy. Lisa was tragically run over one night when crossing the street from the Rovers. Tommy went to live with Lisa's parents in Blackpool, but Paul still sees him when they bring him to Weatherfield to visit Jack and Vera.
