Paul Clayton, is a fictional character in the soap opera Coronation Street, played by Tom Hudson since 2007.

He is the son of Terry Duckworth and Andrea Clayton. He was born in 1986 after the Clayton family had left Coronation Street, they decided to leave when they discovered Terry wanted to support Andrea, she didn't want to be a member of the Duckworth family and decided she would go to university while her mother Connie would raise the child. When Vera insisted on playing a part in its upbringing they packed up and left overnight.

Paul made his first appearance in the programme in 2000 when Andrea returned looking for Terry when Paul fell ill and needed a kidney donor, Terry insisted on being the donor but got scared and left days before the operation. Vera then decided to see if she would be a suitable donor and when she was went ahead and donated her own. The aftermath of the operation was heavily featured in the live episode fimed to celebrate 40 years of Coronation Street. Paul returned with Andrea in early 2001 fully recovered to visit Jack and Vera.

Paul returned in July 2007 and started work at Valandros, Leanne Battersby's restaurant. He later revealed that he returned to Weatherfield to escape his ex employer after being caught in bed with his wife. He has since bought a share of Valandros by taking out a loan in Jacks name.

Soon after moving into Jack and Vera's, Tyrone began to get suspicious of him. Tyrone tried several times to catch scheming Paul out, but was unsuccesful. In September 2007, Paul took some money from Jack's tin to buy items for the restaurant. He did not tell anybody about this. Jack and Vera found out and were confused, with Tyrone blaming Paul again for the 'theft'. While everybody was at the pub, Paul sneaked back and put the money back into the tin. Tyrone went back to the house alone to check the tin, and was caught by Jack, who blamed him for the theft.

In October 2007, Paul's previous employer and his friend/bodyguard turned up at Valandros and threatened Leanne to tell them where Paul lived, telling her that he had stolen £500 from them and slept with his old boss's wife. Leanne told them Paul's address, and, as the two knocked on the door, Paul begged Tyrone to help him out. Tyrone let Paul escape out the back door, and managed to get rid of the two men at the door. However, the two then went back to Valandros and took money, champagne and expensive kitchen equipment from Leanne to compensate.

At the end of October, he made a move on his business partner Leanne Battersby, and admited he had fallen for her, but nothing happened after that instance.

His on screen Grandmother, Vera, was set to be killed off in January 2008.
