Coronation Street's Hayley Cropper faces one of the most difficult days of her life in tonight's double bill (October 18).
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.
