Despite David's protests about not wanting a cellmate and telling the prison officer that he couldn't share with anyone, Paul moved into David's cell. David warned Paul to stay away from him and told him he wanted nothing to do with him. Although David refused to engage with his cellmate, Paul remained friendly and attempted to make small talk with David. When David fell asleep later in the day, Paul gently tried to wake him up. When David woke up, he lashed out at Paul and shoved him against the wall. Paul warned David that he wouldn't last five minutes in prison. David later apologised to Paul and admitted to him that he could do with a mate if he was sentenced. Paul told him that there were no 'mates' in prison and that he would have to learn to fend for himself.

Later, David lashed out and pinned Paul to a wall - after he gently tried to wake him up.

Having served a prison sentence, during which he befriended David Platt, Paul turned up on Coronation Street to seek out his estranged sister Gemma. However, Gemma was left unnerved by his arrival - as he had been sent to prison after taking the blame for her manslaughter of an elderly woman she had burgled and she feared that he would expose her secret to Rita Tanner. Although, Paul and Gemma eventually made up and he supported her after she discovered that she was pregnant with Chesney Brown's quads. During his time on the street, Paul began dating vicar Billy Mayhew - but the pair eventually separated. When Paul's mother turned up on the street, and later regained contact with her ex-boyfriend Kel Hinchley - who had sexually groomed Paul as a child - Billy made it his mission to help Paul see that he had been too young to consent and was abused by Kel.

Despite his departure, Paul kept in contact with Gemma and he was the person that she turned to when she accidentally caused the death of an elderly woman she had burgled.

Paul was introduced to his new cellmate David Platt in May 2018 - who was serving a custodial sentence for missing court after viciously beating up Gary Windass. David had protested that he didn't want to share (as he had been raped by a man, Josh Tucker, and feared sharing the confined space) and warned Paul to stay away from him. Later, David lashed out and pinned Paul to a wall - after he gently tried to wake him up. David eventually apologised to Paul and admitted that he could do with a mate inside, but Paul informed him that there were no 'mates' in prison and that he would have to learn to fend for himself.

Having been released in January 2019, Paul showed up on Coronation Street looking for his sister - whom he had learnt lived nearby due to his conversations with David in prison. Although it didn't take long for him to start causing trouble when Billy Mayhew accused him of attempting to steal Eileen Grimshaw's money in the cafe.
