EastEnders is pursuing a cystic fibrosis storyline after Shirley Carter tracked down her granddaughter Jade on tonight's episode (June 12).
Jade, who is the daughter of Shabnam Masood and Dean Wicks and is living in foster care, was seen using a nebuliser.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust have confirmed that the character has cystic fibrosis, revealing on Twitter that they are working with the soap on the storyline.
The trust posted: "There will be more of Jade beyond CF Week, don't worry. Can't reveal too much and give spoilers though."
They added: "Yep. We've been working hard with excellent @bbceastenders team on this, and grateful to them for this opportunity!"
EastEnders airs on BBC One.
