Hayley (Julie Hesmondhalgh) is on a high after her trip to Blackpool with husband Roy, but that soon changes when she learns that her new friend Jane has taken a turn for the worse.
Visiting Jane in a hospice, Hayley is shocked to see just how quickly she has deteriorated as a result of her cancer.

Hayley learns her friend is close to the end.
Thinking about her own illness, Hayley later reaches a momentous decision as she tells Roy that she wants to end her life at a time of her choosing - something she's been considering for a while.
Hayley explains that she doesn't want to spend her final days in a drug-induced haze, but with Roy appalled by what he's hearing, will this tear the Croppers apart?
Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh has assured fans that her character Hayley Cropper won't die at Christmas.
The actress is departing the ITV soap and filmed her final scene yesterday (November 18), retweeting a farewell photo from one of the show's assistant directors.
However, Hesmondhalgh has insisted to her followers on Twitter that their advanced filming schedules mean they have been shooting beyond December, and therefore Hayley will not pass away as part of a Christmas storyline.
Hesmondhalgh recently spoke about the 'overwhelming' support she has received over the storyline, which has seen Hayley explore the 'right to die' as she battles terminal cancer.
It was announced back in January that the actress was leaving the show after 15 years to focus on new projects.

Maybe pair him with Mary. Mary and Roy got on well before and she needs someone.
Coronation Street fans will see Hayley Cropper's son Christian Gatley make another return visit to Weatherfield next month.
Andrew Turner has filmed a handful of new episodes as Christian, who will appear back on screen as Hayley's heartbreaking exit storyline continues.

Christian in Coronation Street
Fiz Stape (Jennie McAlpine) and Chesney Brown (Sam Aston) are first to see that Christian is back in the area and they are quick to send him packing when it's immediately clear that he hasn't changed his ways.
However, Christian refuses to give up so easily and later defies Fiz's warnings by returning to see Hayley.
Christian is determined to speak to Hayley for his own reasons, but after his history of causing problems for her, his presence could lead to even more heartbreak.
Viewers last saw Christian in September, when Hayley made contact with him after learning that her cancer is incurable. However, their meeting did not go well and Hayley decided not to tell him about her illness.
Julie Hesmondhalgh, who plays Hayley, filmed her final Coronation Street scene on Monday (November 18). Hayley's exit will air early next year.
I hope she makes peace with her son
Glad to see him back. I was disappointed with how it panned out last time. I would love for Hayley to get the chance to meet her grandchildren.

"It's definitely ensured that I'm leaving on a high now.

Hayley is now getting on my nerves and I feel so sorry for Roy. Having been a cancer patient and knowing terminally ill cancer patients they have got her attitude all wrong.
Coronation Street star Julie Hesmondhalgh has revealed details of Roy and Hayley Cropper's last Christmas together, confirming that there will be "ups and downs" for the much-loved couple.
The Croppers will be among the characters taking centre stage over the festive season as Roy (David Neilson) tries to give terminally-ill Hayley the perfect Christmas, knowing that their time together is running out.
While Roy wants a quiet and private Christmas, he gets more than he bargained for when he and Hayley are bombarded by a string of well-wishers on December 25.
Hesmondhalgh explained: "Because it's what Roy wants to do, Hayley agrees they'll have a quiet one, but then it all just gets completely out of hand and everyone ends up in Roy's Rolls.
"Later, everyone leaves and Hayley is absolutely knackered, but she still gets her coat on to go to the pub. She doesn't manage to stay for long, though. You'll also see that she falls asleep a lot over Christmas. That's really sad - she'll just be in a gathering and all of a sudden they'll see that she's nodded off."
She continued: "The residents also have a snowball fight. It's all going on around Hayley, but she loves it. It's life and joy all around her. Then when they look out that night, there's a snow Roy and Hayley on the street that have been built for them."

Hayley is on an increased dose of medication over Christmas as the impact of her illness is beginning to take its toll.
"She doesn't tell Roy much about that until the nurse comes," Hesmondhalgh revealed. "He's quite shocked when Hayley says to the nurse that she's in a lot of pain.
"They decide to up her medication, which is obviously the thing that they've been dreading. Hayley doesn't want to be on the medication because it causes confusion for her, but she needs it by that point. So there are ups and downs over Christmas."
Hesmondhalgh also warned that there will be no tidy conclusion to many of the Croppers' storylines, as illustrated this week when Roy fails his long-awaited driving test.

She said: "This is what I've loved about this story - it hasn't been neatly sewn up. Roy doesn't pass his driving test, which I think is brilliant because everything is leading up to him passing that test!
"You see Roy doing the test and you don't know how well he's done, but then he comes back and he says, 'I failed', and Hayley says, 'Oh well, never mind'. That's literally the end of that storyline and it's just like real life. There are lots of unfinished strands like that."

My dad has got cancer for the 6th time and he has the same attitude. The other times apart from bone cancer they have been able to operate but this time they can't they are trying chemo so the story is quite close to home for me and everyone has a different attitude to cancer but to look at him you wouldn't think he was ill at all and he just gets on with it. They have got the Hayley sforyline right in my opionion.
Sorry to hear about your dad, angel-emm :(
For me -and I lost my mum and best friend to metastatic cancer-Hayley is fading as they did, but went from healthy too weeks to go too fast.
And given the actress wears wig, why not show the chemo hair loss.
...
Thanks Perdita he's still around and he's a figher you have to count your blessings and there's always someone worse off than you.
Now everyone loses their hair to chemo infact it's had the opposite effect on my dad he used to me completely bald on the top of his head and now he has new hair there.
but did the regrowth of hair for him occur after the chemo stopped?
No whilst he's having it. It's growning again now whilst he's having more chemo.
lost my mother many years ago to bone cancer. When oh when will they defeat it? Well, yes she wears a wig but they would have to put another wig on her as her natural hair would show which is presently dyed blonde too. They'd have to shave her head which I doubt Hesmondhalgh would go for.Quote:

I don't agree with you on this point one little bit, I like her character, always have and will miss her
I had 6 doses of chemotherapy for breast cancer last year, my hair started to fall out before my second dose. However, I've met a woman suffering from a different type of cancer who has had 18 doses of chemotherapy and not lost her hair. I think the soaps can have a difficult job handling cancer story lines, in that most of us will relate to people we know who've had it. Until I was diagnosed with BC I had no idea there are so many different grades/stages of cancer. I know from online BC support groups that there can be a postcode lottery regarding treatment. I think soaps have a responsibility [not sure what exactly responsibility I mean though!] how they portray cancer. There will inevitably be someone viewing who has recently been diagnosed, going through treatment etc. When I was first diagnosed I was unable to discuss anything about it without bursting into tears. Other people cope better. I cannot describe adequately the fear I had about what was to happen.
I will miss Hayley, and may not watch the episode when she dies, the story line has already reduced me to tears.

Thanks Perdita. I've had lots of help and support.
Hello,
sometimes healthy to weeks to go does happen very fast, especially with pancreatic cancer. My brother went from healthy, living a full & active life, developed sudden abdo discomfort that very rapidly increased, he died within 4 weeks of diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It is known as the most aggressive form of the horrid disease.
stay strong lizzy my prayers are with youQuote:

Add to that Hesmondhalgh's inability to play a quirky character without resorting to OTT theatrics. But generally speaking soap actors are mediocre except for occasional exceptions. She isn't one of them I'm afraid.Quote:

Interview with Julie from the BBC site - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-25493171
Hayley is going to die around the 20th Jan...ish..so literally a couple of weeks, yet where is the feared 'harold reversion' that she so wants to avoid?
she is taking more pain killers, hasnt reverted to oramorph in large doses as yet, is no where near the morphine syringe pump stage, and yet no Harold-esque behaviour? but she is still going to kill herself?
it may just be me, but it seems a bit like rushing the end too much?
What would you describe as Harold-esque behaviour? I think she is still planning on killing herself... Not sure they will show all the palliative care normally given to cancer patients in their last stages in order not to upset viewers.
I find most exit storylines rushed, even if they had plenty of notice to write a character's exit
